Policies

GPA Calculation For Students Transferring to Walsh University From Another Institution

Courses transferred from another accredited institution are not included in the student's cumulative grade point index.  Only the credit hours are accepted and recorded on the academic record for each transferred course as “TR.”

Business majors, transferring in equivalent degree required business courses, will follow the GPA calculation requirements for purposes of advancement and graduation (see degree requirements).

Registration for Degree Completion courses creates a contract for payment of tuition, fees and charges.  If the student chooses to terminate this contract with Walsh University, he/she must officially (in writing) drop his/her class(es) during the first 5 business days of each session in which the course occurs, in order to receive 100% tuition refund. 

Nonattendance to class or notification to an instructor does not constitute an official withdrawal.  

The student should understand that dropping classes could negatively affect his/her financial aid award package.

Tuition Payment

For All Students

Owed account balance to Walsh University must be under $1000.00 before a student is permitted to register for future classes in subsequent semesters.  Any balance over 90 days old will be assessed a 1% per month interest fee.

For Students Receiving Company Reimbursement

Students must make full payment to Walsh University no later than 30 business days after grades are issued, and must provide Walsh University with a current copy of Walsh University’s Employer Reimbursement form.  Any balance over 30 days old will be assessed a 1% per month interest fee, and any delinquent balance may result in the students account being removed from the Employer Reimbursement program until it is brought up to date.

Overdue Balances

Balances not paid after 150 days from the start date of the session in which the course occurs are subject to collection action.  This action includes collection and default charges in addition to the interest fees.  If an account balance is forwarded to a third party collection agency, the student will be responsible for that account balance (including interest) and collection costs of 33 1/3%.  Payment in full (including interest and collection costs) must be made before the student is able to register for any additional classes.  Tuition for all future courses must be paid in advance.

Financial Aid

Enrolled students are eligible to apply for federal and state financial assistance.  This assistance includes grant programs as well as deferred student loans. Information and applications can be obtained by contacting the Walsh University Financial Aid Office at 330-490-7147.

Students returning for an additional degree are required to apply for graduation and pay appropriate graduation fees.  The second degree will be posted separate of the original degree.  Walsh will not ask for the first diploma to be returned.  A new diploma reflecting the additional degree will be issued to the student, consistent with the transcript.
