Some financial aid is need-based as determined by federal methodology and the FAFSA, but other financial aid options are open to everyone. When in doubt, apply.

It’s a question of measuring to what extent you are managing — anything that makes you feel overwhelmed or limits your ability to function to the level you would like are basic cues that it is time to seek a counselor. Other signs include:

• Everything you feel is intense or overwhelming (or reversely, you feel numb and detached from life).
• You’ve suffered trauma and you can’t seem to stop thinking about it.
• You have unexplained and recurrent headaches, stomach-aches or a rundown immune system.
• You’re using a substance to cope.
• You take extra measures to either avoid people completely or constantly distract yourself from being by yourself.
• You’re getting negative feedback from work or school.
• You feel disconnected from previously beloved activities.
• Your relationships are strained.
• Your friends or family have told you they’re concerned.

When self-harm or suicidal thoughts are present, talk to someone and see a counselor. This is absolutely a time to engage in a non-judgmental, accepting counseling relationship to find the support and care that you need.

Federal Title IV student aid is disbursed to pay educational expenses while enrolled. When a student withdraws prior to the completion of 60 percent of the semester for which aid was awarded, a pro-rated portion of the aid must be returned to the federal government.

Federal regulations require a written institutional policy for the refund and repayment of federal aid received by students terminating enrollment for any reason during a semester for which payment has been received. Refund calculations to determine the refund percentage are performed using the Federal Title IV refund procedure as prescribed by the U.S. Department of Education.

The institution is responsible for the return of funds to appropriate federal sources based on the refund percentage identified. The student is responsible for repayment to the institution or the federal government for any balance owed created by the withdrawal.

Charges to students for all tuition, fees, and housing are recorded in an individual account based on the student identification number assigned upon initial enrollment. Grants, scholarships, and loan payments are recorded as credits against those charges as they are received. The balance due, if any, shown on the student’s account statement must be paid in full by August 1 for the fall semester and December 15 for the spring semester, prior to moving into student housing, and upon receipt of subsequent monthly statements. Payments in excess of charges will be refunded to the student unless the student requests the funds be held on the account as pre-payment of future charges. All credit balances must be refunded to the student at the end of each academic year, regardless of student request. The student may apply the money to their student account for the next academic year charges by making a payment on their account.

If a student adds or drops courses, an official change of registration form must be submitted. Fees and charges are adjusted for adding and dropping courses within the allowed add/drop period at the full semester rate(s), with related adjustments in financial aid. Students considering a drop below full-time enrollment status are encouraged to discuss the financial impact of such a decision with Financial Aid personnel.

Upon registering for classes, students incur charges and are responsible for payments of these charges whether or not they attend. Warner Pacific University, a non-profit institution of higher learning, in establishing any student account, extends credit to students solely for the purpose of financing their education.

In order to provide students with maximum dependability and affordability, Warner Pacific University has chosen to partner with Slingshot to provide textbooks to all students.  The partnership with Slingshot allows students to receive the correct books in time for the start of the academic year.

All traditional semester program students will automatically be enrolled in the Slingshot Digital/Rental program without additional costs. Students receive their books on-campus during the weekend before classes start each semester and are not required to purchase their course materials on their own. Information is provided on the Slingshot website for students to access books provided digitally.  Students are required to return all rental books to the on-campus mailroom no later than the day after the course ends.

Students access their textbook information on the Slingshot website at https://warnerpacific.slingshotedu.com. Questions about your course materials or shipment information can be addressed by contacting the Slingshot Customer Service staff at 1-888-392-2930.

Students have the choice to opt out of this program until the payment deadline for the semester by contacting the Slingshot Customer Service staff at 1-888-392-2930. Choosing to purchase course materials on your own does not reduce your tuition and fees.

Warner Pacific University is committed to the holistic development of every student—academically, spiritually, and personally—in alignment with our Christ-centered mission and values. The Squire, our official Student Handbook, serves as a comprehensive guide to the expectations, resources, policies, and services that shape student life at WPU.

This living document outlines community standards, support services, student rights and responsibilities, and procedures designed to foster a respectful, inclusive, and purpose-driven campus environment.

Please note: The University reserves the right to revise, update, or amend any policy or standard outlined in The Squire at any time. Students are responsible for staying informed of current expectations and regulations.

The University participates in programs with third parties such as employers, government agencies, and embassies provided written documentation confirming enrollment in the third party’s reimbursement program is submitted to the Office of Student Accounts by the semester due date. All fees and charges not covered in the arrangement are the responsibility of the student and are due prior to the first day of classes. Delayed employer reimbursements may result in service charges to the student.

Full payment, or an approved payment arrangement, is required prior to moving into housing or attending classes. A student is placed on unpaid status if satisfactory payment arrangements are not made by the first day of the semester. Failure to contact the Office of Student Accounts may result in a voided registration. Unpaid balances, including those created or increased after initial clearance, may be subject to a 1.5% monthly service charge (18% annually).

DSST is a testing organization we use to award credit through standardized exams. Check it out at getcollegecredit.com.

If you are interested in adding exams, your first step is to research the titles that interest you and go to the DSST website.  Then, connect with your advisor about the titles you are considering, and they will talk you through the exam process.

One of the most difficult steps in counseling occurs before you even see a counselor for the first time. Deciding to seek counseling is the first step in change. Once this decision has been made, the mechanics for change have been set in motion. In the process of changing the way you think, feel, or behave, you usually must try out new ways of doing things. This can make you anxious or frustrated. Also, in the course of counseling you may come to realize that things you once thought of only in a positive or negative way you may see a bit differently. The challenges of pushing your limitations may also cause personal challenges, but with commitment and practice, you will find that you can stretch your limits and find new and exciting aspects of yourself.
