Financial Information - CGS

Fee Structure - CGS Degree Programs

Students are advised of financial obligations for the core degree program during the registration process. A schedule of payments and analysis of fee structures, along with due dates, is outlined. Students are expected to meet these obligations according to the schedule. Any questions regarding payments or problems associated with making those payments should be directed to the Accounting Office.

Students who have applied for financial aid are responsible for all tuition and fees in the event it is determined they are ineligible for financial aid, decline the financial aid, or withdraw from the program prior to completing the academic award period. Students receiving military or corporate assistance who have received prior approval from the university for direct billing are required to pay their share of tuition and fees and submit appropriate assistance documents by the assigned due date. The deferral program in no way relieves the student of the financial obligation to the university and the student retains full responsibility for ensuring that all tuition and fees are paid in full and in a timely manner.

Indiana Wesleyan University reserves the right to suspend class attendance for failure to meet financial obligations.

Indiana Wesleyan University reserves the right to change the tuition and fee schedule at any time. However, tuition and fee schedules are guaranteed for students who complete the program according to the prescribed curriculum schedule. A $50 late fee is charged each time a payment is received after the due date. There will be a fee charged for any check returned due to non-sufficient funds. If collection of tuition, book charges, and/or fees becomes necessary, all costs of collection, court costs, and attorney fees are the responsibility of the student. A $25 withdrawal fee will be charged for each temporary withdrawal or transfer.
