NOTES: *All PIU undergraduate students are eligible to apply for the Liebenzell Mission Scholarship of $125 per credit hour, which is applied on a need basis. This scholarship lowers the effective tuition rate to $170 per credit hour. This scholarship reflects the contributions to PIU made by Liebenzell Mission to the operating and capital budgets, as well as the provision of missionary staff and faculty.

**Graduation cap and gown is not included.

***Transcript requests must be made in writing to the Registrar. Diplomas or transcripts are not issued if the student account has an outstanding balance.

****Students may not audit the courses with an “R” in the course number.
Students taking dive classes will be responsible for the rental or purchase of equipment necessary for those classes and for any transportation costs to off-campus sites.

ESTIMATED UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT COSTS

Cost breakdown, including Liebenzell Scholarship and President’s Grant, per semester:

Fees\Unit 12 credit hrs 15 credit hrs
Registration Fee $25 $25
Student Services Fee $250 $250
Tuition $3,540 $4,425

Liebenzell Scholarship $(1,500) $(1,875)

TOTAL $4,565 $5,065

NOTE: *A full-time student (taking at least 12-credit hours per semester), while maintaining a grade point average of 3.5 or above, will receive a full tuition scholarship for a fifth class in the following semester, thus effectively lowering total cost listed above by $465 per semester.

Returning students must clear their previous balances in order to register for the next semester. Students must be prepared to pay at least half of the total fees each term during registration at the beginning of the term, with the remainder paid at the halfway point of the term.

Textbooks and materials may be purchased from PIU or local bookstores.

NO OUTSTANDING BALANCE POLICY

Students may not enroll in a new semester unless they have a zero balance with PIU. In addition, students cannot participate in graduation or receive their diplomas until their balance is paid in full.

REFUND POLICY

It is the responsibility of the student to notify PIU when officially withdrawing from any class. Refunds of all fees (including boarding fees – but not room fees – in the event a student withdraws from all classes) are determined from official date of withdrawal as follows:

100%…………………………. withdrawal during registration & add/drop period (week 1 of the semester)
75%………………………………….. withdrawal during the second week (or the equivalent) of instruction
50%……………………………………… withdrawal during the third week (or the equivalent) of instruction
25%……………………………………. withdrawal during the fourth week (or the equivalent) of instruction
0%……………………………………….. withdrawal after the fourth week (or the equivalent) or thereafter

A withdrawing student is required to complete a withdrawal form which can be obtained from the PIU Business Office or the PIU website. The date of the withdrawal is the same as the date the Business Office receives the signed form from the student.

FINANCIAL AID

Awards will be made based upon need. That is, PIU will attempt to provide sufficient financial aid for each student who is admitted so that the student will be able to afford the expenses for the school year. However, the primary responsibility for tuition and fees rests with the student and his or her family.

Any student who wishes to be considered for this financial support should obtain and complete the application forms, including the financial summary form.

It is the hope that no admitted student will be denied opportunity to study at PIU because of inadequate financial support. For more information, contact the PIU financial aid director, the campus registrar, or the teaching facility office manager. Note: PIU does not participate in the student loan program.
