TUITION
AND
FEES
Willamette University is
committed to focusing its
financial resources on providing
a quality academic program. We
strive to provide a low
student-to-faculty ratio, and
strong compensation packages that
allow us to recruit and retain an
excellent faculty. We encourage
innovation and quality in all our
academic programs. Tuition and
fees provide the primary source
of revenue for the University,
but a large endowment and
generous giving from our alumni
help to offset tuition costs
through endowed scholarships and
gifts.

ROOM

All students living in a residence hall or fraternity
are required to participate in the Willamette Meal
Plan Program. The Willamette Meal Plan has been
designed with flexibility to meet the unique needs
of each student. The meal plan program has two parts.
Part I consists of "all you can eat" Meal Plan dinners
from Sunday through Friday and brunch on Saturday.
Part II is a Meal Plan Points program, which offers
four different Points options. Points meals are
breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday, dinner
Saturday and brunch Sunday. Food at these meals
is offered "a la carte."
Meals are served throughout the
school year in three locations:
Goudy Commons, Kaneko Hall, and
the Bearcat Cavern in the
University Center (Monday through
Friday, breakfast and lunch
only). No meal service is
provided during Thanksgiving
break and winter and spring
vacations.

Willamette
University’s 'Residency Requirement' states
that all freshmen and sophomores are required
to live on campus unless they are married, over
the age of 21, or living with parent(s) within
a commutable distance of 25 miles or less. Freshmen
and sophomores who meet these criteria and who
plan to live off campus need to provide supporting
documentation to the Residential Services before
making arrangements to live off campus.
All students contract for rooms for the full academic
year. Room and meal plan charges are payable by
the semester in advance. No refund is allowed
for meals missed. If a student withdraws from
the University, the student is responsible for
room and meal plan costs through the date of check
out.
PAYMENT
Tuition, fees, and charges for
room and board are payable in
full by the start of each
semester and are paid to the
Business Office. If a student
fails to complete fee payment
through the Business Office by
4:00 p.m. of the day designated
to pay fees each semester, the
student will be assessed a $50
late fee and interest will accrue
at 12 percent APR (annual
percentage rate). If payment is
still not received within 30 days
of semester start date, the
student will be disenrolled for
nonpayment of fees and his/her
housing contract
cancelled.
TUITION
AND PAYMENT
OPTIONS
The 10-Month
Payment Plan
This
plan offers parents a program through which educational
expenses for the year can be spread out over 10,
9, or 8-month payment plans. The monthly payment
plan option is administered by Tuition Management
Systems and has a $65 application fee for the
year. Under this plan you estimate the amount
of net expenses for the year and come up with
your annual Budget Amount. Divide your budget
amount by 10, 9 or 8 to determine your monthly
payment. Payments begin July 15 and end April
15. Please call Tuition Management Systems at
1-800-356-8329 or visit their website at www.afford.com
for more information.
WITHDRAWALS
Students are admitted to
Willamette University with the
understanding that they will
remain until the end of the
semester unless unforeseen
circumstances necessitate their
withdrawal. Students who are
suspended or expelled from the
University forfeit all
refunds.
In compliance with the Higher
Education Amendments of 1998
(Section 668.22) Willamette
University's refund policy is as
follows:
- A
student's withdrawal date is
the date the student began the
institution's withdrawal
process or officially notified
the institution of intent to
withdraw, or the midpoint of
the period for a student who
leaves without notifying the
institution.
- Refunds
for tuition will be prorated
on a per day basis based on
the academic calendar up to
the 60% point in the semester.
There are no refunds
for tuition after that point
in time.
- Withdrawing
students are responsible for applicable room
and meal plan charges through the date they
checked out of their campus housing with your
Residence Life staff member.
- Students
withdrawing for medical
reasons may petition for a
Medical Withdrawal. In the
case of an approved Medical
Withdrawal, the student refund
is the same as a student who
withdraws from the University;
however, the student's
transcript will indicate a
withdrawal for medical
reasons. Applications for a
Medical Withdrawal may be
obtained from the Registrar's
Office.
- Health
insurance charges and student
body fees will not be
refunded to withdrawing
students.
- In
the case of a student's death
during a term, a full tuition
refund will be granted to the
student's estate.
Students
who withdraw and have received
financial aid will receive their
refund (if any) after the
required portion of their
financial aid is returned to the
aiding programs. The required
portion of financial aid that is
returned to the aiding programs
are calculated as follows:
- Title
IV aid and all other aid is
earned in a prorated manner on
a per day basis based on the
academic calendar up to the
60% point in the semester.
After the 60% point, no
refunds are granted for
tuition.
- Recalculation
of financial aid is based on
the percent of earned aid
using the following
formula:
* Percent Earned = Number of
days completed up to the
withdrawal date divided by
total days in the semester
(105).
- Federal
financial aid is returned to
the federal government based
on the percent of unearned aid
using the following
formula:
*Aid to be returned = (100% -
percent earned) X the amount
of financial aid applied to
the student's account.
- When
financial aid is returned, the
student may owe a balance to
the University. The student
should contact the Business
Office to make arrangements to
pay the balance.
Questions
regarding this refund policy
should be directed to the
Assistant Controller located in
the University's Business
Office.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The
term "Title IV funds" refers to
the Federal Financial aid
programs authorized under the
Higher Education Act of 1965 (as
amended) and includes the
following programs: unsubsidized
FFEL loans, subsidized FFEL
loans, subsidized Federal Direct
Stafford loans, FFEL PLUS loans,
Federal Direct Stafford loans,
Federal Perkins loans, FFEL PLUS
loans, Federal Direct PLUS loans,
