VA Pending Payment Compliance Policy

In accordance with Title 38 US Code 3679 subsection (e), this school adopts the following additional provisions for any students using U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Post 9/11 G.I. Bill® (Ch. 33) or Vocational Rehabilitation & Employment (Ch. 31) benefits, while payment to the institution is pending from the VA. This school will not:

• Prevent the student’s enrollment
• Assess a late penalty fee to the student
• Require the student to secure alternative or additional funding (if covered 100% by VA funding)
• Deny the student 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 are required to:

• Produce the VA Certificate of Eligibility (COE) or 1905 by the first day of class.
• Complete the electronic VA Benefits Certification Form or submit a written request.
• Provide additional information needed to properly certify the enrollment as described in other institutional policies.

Tuition Protection Plan (optional)

The plan can guarantee a refund of monies paid to the University in the event that the student suffers a serious illness or accident and must withdraw from the University before the semester is completed, but after the established withdrawal dates for tuition credit referenced in this section. This elective plan provides coverage for tuition, fees and room and board charges*. No exceptions will be made to the tuition credit (withdrawal) policy for students/parents who elect not to purchase this coverage. For further information, please review the Student Business Services Tuition Protection Plan webpage.

*This plan must be purchased prior to the first day of the semester.

Add/Drop/ Withdrawal-Financial Aid

Dropping below full-time or part-time status may affect any financial aid that has been awarded and may result in a balance due to the University. Please refer to the Office of Financial Aid.

Specific procedures for adding or dropping a class must be followed as specified in academic policies and procedures.

A petition to withdraw from the University or drop classes after the tuition credit deadlines does not reduce a student’s financial obligation to the University.

Please note that the dates to withdraw or drop classes for tuition credit differ from those to withdraw or drop classes for academic purposes.

Whether any refund will result from the tuition credit received will depend on the payments that have been made.

Failure to attend class or merely giving notice to an instructor will not be regarded as official notice of drop/add or withdrawal.

*Students choosing to remain enrolled past the last day to drop with refund are obligated to cover all tuition, fees, room and board charges incurred in accordance with the refund policy for tuition, room and board charges.

Financial Aid Policies

Chapman is committed to providing financial assistance to qualified students. More than 84 percent of our students receive some form of financial assistance. Additional information can be obtained from the Chapman University’s Undergraduate Financial Aid website.

All students who need financial assistance are encouraged to apply.

Procedures for Applying for Financial Aid

All new students are automatically considered for academic scholarships at the time of admission. There are no special or additional application forms to complete.

In addition to academic awards, Chapman provides scholarships to new students with special talents in music, theatre, science, art, film, creative writing and dance. An audition or submission of a portfolio may be required to determine eligibility. If so, the Office of Admission will notify the student.

In addition to scholarships, Chapman provides assistance from an array of grant, loan and employment programs. These programs are funded by Chapman, the federal government, the state government and various private organizations. To apply, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) available online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Residents of California should also complete the Cal Grant GPA Verification form. More information about the Cal Grant process can be found online at www.calgrants.org.

When completing the FAFSA, please be sure to list “Chapman University, Orange, California” when prompted online. The Title IV school code for Chapman is 001164.

The FAFSA may be completed as early as October 1. The priority filing date for completing the FAFSA is March 2. Grants, loans and employment may be awarded to students who apply after these dates; however, funds may be exhausted in some programs.
