QU BookED
In an effort to ensure that students have the resources needed to be successful and to provide a high-quality educational experience, the cost of traditional undergraduate tuition includes required books, e-books, access codes, and other materials with an author or publisher. The QU BookED program is available to full-time and part-time traditional undergraduate students during the fall and spring semesters. All QU BookED materials must be returned to the Hawk Shop/QU Bookstore by the date listed on the academic calendar. Failure to return materials by the due date will result in nonrefundable non-returned charges being assessed to your student account. Students with incomplete coursework will need to purchase or rent course materials to complete their coursework at their own expense.
Exclusions to QU BookED
Specific class or program fees (lab fees, art fees, and private music lessons, etc.) are not included in the program. Summer and J terms are not included. This program is specifically for traditional undergraduate students, not including BRCN students. Professional Studies, Graduate, and BRCNHS courses are not included in the program. Courses offered through the Acadeum College Consortium are not eligible to receive course materials through the QU BookED program. Independent study courses are not eligible to receive course materials through the QU BookED program.
Process
The loaned course materials are checked out from the university bookstore at the beginning of the semester and returned to the bookstore by the due date published on the academic calendar each semester. A purchase option is available. Failure to return the materials by the due date or returning books in damaged or unsalable condition will result in the student’s account being charged the non-refundable replacement cost of the book. Students who receive BookED course materials for a course that is dropped by the student must return the course materials for the dropped course to the Bookstore within 24 hours of dropping the course. Failure to do so will result in non-refundable replacement charges added to the student account.
Payment of Tuition, Fees, and Expenses
All student accounts must be settled in full at the Student Financial Services Office on or before July 26, 2024, for fall 2024 semester and January 2, 2025, for spring 2025 semester. Payment for all summer sessions is due on or before the first day of class. Students will not be permitted to register for the next term until their financial obligations with the Student Financial Services Office are settled. A Late Payment Fee may be assessed to any student account that is not paid by the semester due date. Students who have not made acceptable payment arrangements with the Student Financial Services Office to comply with their financial obligations will be subject to suspension from classes and cancellation of registration. Interest of 1.5% will be charged each month on all outstanding balances not covered by pending financial aid.
A Special Note for Veterans:
Beginning August 1, 2019, and despite any policy to the contrary, Quincy University will not take any of the four following actions toward any student using U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Post 9/11 G.I. Bill® (Ch. 33) or Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (Ch. 31) benefits, while their payment from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs is pending to the educational institution:
- Prevent their enrollment;
- Assess a late penalty fee;
- Require they secure alternative or additional funding;
- Deny their access to any resources (access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities) available to other students who have satisfied their tuition and fee bills to the institution.
However, to qualify for this provision, such students will be required to:
- Produce the VA’s Certificate of Eligibility by the first day of class;
- Provide written request to be certified;
- Provide additional information needed to properly certify the enrollment as described in other institutional policies (see our VA School Certifying Official for all requirements).
Payment Plans
Quincy University provides several interest-free monthly payment plan options for the fall and spring semesters. Monthly payments may be spread over two, four or five months, depending on the plan selected. There is a fee charged each semester to participate in the payment plan. The fee amount is determined by the plan that is selected. Contact Student Financial Services for further details.
Payment of accounts to the University is not contingent upon receiving a statement or invoice from the University. As a matter of courtesy the University will prepare statements to reflect all charges and credits incurred. Students should periodically review their account online at my.quincy.edu “My Student Account” to keep informed of any additions or changes to their student account.
Diplomas will not be issued to any student until all financial accounts have been satisfactorily settled.
Collection Policy
A student who fails to pay in full as scheduled will have his/her registration and diploma withheld until the outstanding balance is paid in full. The University will make every effort to contact the student and collect the outstanding balance. It is the student’s responsibility to keep the University informed of any changes in his/her address, phone number and email address. However, if the University’s attempts are unsuccessful, the account will be turned over to an agency for collection or to attorneys for litigation. The student will be responsible for all costs, including collection agency fees, attorney fees, and variable court costs.
Institutional Aid
Institutional scholarships and grants are not considered earned until the student has attended at least 50% of all registered courses for the semester. Posting of this aid will be completed after mid-term of each semester to student accounts.
Institutional aid (grants and scholarships) will be applied at the University’s discretion to students’ direct costs, including University tuition and/or residential charges (room and meals). All federal and state assistance will be applied in accordance with applicable laws and awarding guidelines.
Student Withdraws and Tuition Refunds
Any student wishing to withdraw from the University must contact the Vice President for Student Development (or the designee of the Vice President for Student Development). Full tuition is charged unless a formal withdrawal is completed. There are no exceptions to this policy.
No refund of tuition will be given for unapproved withdrawals.
No refund of tuition will be made to students dismissed for disciplinary reasons.
If a traditional undergraduate student formally withdraws during the semester, the following tuition will be charged:
• No charge during published Add/Drop Period
• 25 % of tuition is charged up to 7 days after Add/Drop Period**
• 50 % of tuition is charged up to 14 days after Add/Drop Period**
• On the 15th day after Add/Drop 100 % of tuition is charged
Graduate and Professional Studies (PS) students will receive a refund only if they formally withdraw during the Add/Drop Period.
No refunds are given on housing and meal charges after the add/drop period.
**All Quincy University institutional aid awarded is adjusted accordingly by the same percentages to calculate the net amount charged for tuition and aid. Federal and state aid is adjusted as required by law.
Financial or Physical Hardship Refunds
In some cases a student must withdraw from the institution after the refund dates due to a significant financial or physical hardship. Such hardships may include but are not limited to the following:
· serious injury or illness
· chronic illness
· a medical issue of a family member in which the student has to become a part-time or full-time caretaker of that family member
· a mental health condition
· a sudden or consistent lack of transportation
· a significant cost of living increase
If a student believes the student has experienced a significant financial or physical hardship, the student may choose to submit an appeal requesting that the student’s tuition and institutional aid be refunded at the 50% refund rate. Such appeals must be made in writing, must be addressed to the Vice President for Business Affairs, and must include documentation supporting the reason for the hardship. Appeals must be emailed to studentaccounts@quincy.edu within 14 calendar days of the official withdrawal date.
Appeals will be presented to and reviewed by the Financial Appeals Committee to determine if the student meets the criteria for a significant financial or physical hardship and should be granted a 50% tuition refund. The decision of the Financial Appeals Committee is final.
For more information, please see https://www.quincy.edu/hardship-refund-policy/
Withdrawal/Refund Procedure
Any student desiring to withdrawal from the University is required to submit a formal withdrawal request to the Dean of Students. The Dean of Student will provide the formal withdrawal form.
1. The first section of the form is completed by the student.
2. The student will meet with Financial Services
3. The Dean of Student will review the withdrawal form and address any QU equipment or other items required to be returned with the student.
The Dean of Students approves all withdrawal forms and forwards to the Business Office the approval with the effective withdrawal date. The refunds are automatically calculated and processed by the Business Office based on this communication from the Dean of Student. Under normal circumstances, the University will pay or credit refunds within two weeks of the approval of the student's withdrawal. The Business Office will issue the refund and send a new billing statement reflecting the calculated refund amount.
Title IV Student Financial Aid (Federal Financial Aid)
Title IV Funds are awarded to a student under the assumption that the student will attend school for the entire period for which the assistance is awarded. When a student withdraws, the student may no longer be eligible for full amount of the Title IV Funds that the student was originally scheduled to receive for the payment period (summer terms/ fall semester/spring semester). Quincy University determines initial eligibility by conducting class verification through the Registrar’s Office. During the first week of the term/semester the student has the option to withdraw from all classes without penalty. If the student withdraws during the first week period they are considered to have never attended and the enrollment does not appear on a transcript.
Attendance verification rosters are sent to faculty by the Registrar within two days after the deadline to change schedules without penalty. The faculty must verify student
attendance/educational activity or non-attendance/no educational activity in their courses. Faculty must submit completed verification rosters to the Registrar within
seven business days. The Registrar reports the non-attendance/no educational activity information to the Vice President of Student Development and to Student
Financial Services. The Vice President for Student Development is responsible for follow up within seven business days with each student identified as non-attendance/no educational activity to confirm enrollment/withdrawal.
Upon completion of this review, a final report of non-attendance/no educational activity is provided to the Director of Student Financial Services. Monitoring of this process is the responsibility of the Vice President for Student Development. If a recipient of Title IV grant or loan funds withdraws from Quincy University after beginning attendance, the amount of Title IV grant or loan assistance earned by the student must be determined. A student is considered to have withdrawn if the student does not complete all days in the payment period that the student was scheduled to complete.
Students who find it necessary to withdraw from the University must contact the Office for Student Development to complete an official withdrawal form. Verbal as well as
written requests may be originated in the office. For students who fail to notify the University of withdrawal, either the mid-point of the semester/term or if available, the
last educationally related activity as documented by the Registrar will be used.
Federal regulations provide a policy regarding students who withdraw from the University and have received or were eligible to receive Federal Title IV funds excluding
Federal Work Study. Federal regulations require the University to determine the earned and unearned portions of Title IV aid as of the date the student ceased attendance. Up through the 60% point in the payment period, a pro-rata schedule is used to determine the amount of Title IV funds the student has earned at the time of withdrawal. After the 60% point in the payment period, the student has earned 100% of the Title IV funds a student was scheduled to receive during the period.
All returns of Title IV aid will be calculated according to the appropriate Federal Return of Title IV Funds Policies. While the University refund policy will determine the charges a student will owe after withdrawing, those policies will not affect the amount of Title IV aid the student earned under the Title IV Return calculation.
A repayment may be required when cash has been disbursed to a student from financial aid funds in excess of the amount of aid the student earned during the term. The
amount of Title IV aid earned is determined by multiplying the total Title IV aid (other than Federal Work Study) for which the student qualified by the percentage of time
during the term that the student was enrolled. If less aid was disbursed than was earned, the student may receive a post withdrawal disbursement for the difference.
Grant funds must be disbursed within forty-five (45) days and loan funds must be offered to the student within 30 days. A student has fourteen (14) days to accept or
decline loan funds. Should a credit balance exist after the return of Title IV funds to the Department of Education, a refund will be issued to the student within fourteen (14) days.
If more aid was disbursed than was earned, the amount of Title IV aid that must be returned (i.e. that was unearned) is determined by subtracting the earned amount from the amount actually disbursed. Federal Title IV financial aid is returned to the Department of Education in the following order: (1) Direct Unsubsidized Loans, (2)
Direct Subsidized Loans, (3) Direct PLUS Loans, (4) Pell Grants, (5) Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG), (5) TEACH Grants, (6) Iraq and Afghanistan
Service Grants. Title IV Return of Funds will be completed within 30 days of the Student Financial Services Office receiving notification of a student withdrawal.
The responsibility for returning unearned aid is allocated between the University and the student according to the portion of disbursed aid that could have been used to cover University charges and the portions that could have been disbursed directly to student once University charges were covered. Quincy University will distribute the unearned aid back to the Title IV programs in the order specified in the regulations. The student will be billed for any amount due to the University resulting from the return of Title IV funds used to cover University charges and any amount the student owes to the Title IV programs.
