CALENDAR 2024 FALL SESSIONS

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY:

        We are a Catholic university named after Saint John Henry Newman and founded by the Adores of the Blood of Christ for the purpose of empowering graduates to transform society. Newman does not discriminate on the basis of age, sex, race, creed, handicap, national or ethnic origin. Accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, 230 N. LaSalle St., Ste. 7-500, Chicago IL, 60604 phone: 312-263-0456.

REGISTRATION FOR CLASSES

Note: Registration for the upcoming semester is permitted only if the student’s account balance from the previous semester is paid in full.

ADVISING:

An advisor’s authorization is required for registration, course changes, and the application for graduation. Each student is assigned a specific advisor who maintains information pertinent to offering him or her academic advising. For this reason, students are asked to refrain from seeking permission to enroll in courses from faculty or staff other than their advisor or the school director or division chair.

Academic advising carries with it responsibilities for students. Each student must make sure to keep track of his or her progress toward a degree.  Academic advising is a service offered by faculty and some professional staff, but it does not diminish the responsibility of the student to make sure that requirements for graduation and academic progress are met. A change in advisor is to be made as educational objectives change or a major is chosen. Students can update their academic information in JetStream.

REGISTRATION:

Students are encouraged to complete registration online through JetStream once the academic advisor has granted authorization.  Instructions for online registration can be found on the following page. Reminder: students must review and update their personal information at the time of registration. This includes information pertaining to address, phone number, major, minor, anticipated graduation date, etc.

ADMISSIONS:

Students who have not attended Newman University previously are required to complete the admission process prior to registering for classes. For further information, new students on campus should contact our Admissions Office at 316-942-4291, ext. 2144, or 877-639-6268, ext.2144.

ADDS, DROPS, AND WITHDRAWALS

Add, drop and withdrawal dates are stated in the calendar section of this schedule. Simply attending class does not add the student to the class rolls. No credit will be given for classes in which the enrollment process has not been completed. Not attending classes does not constitute an official withdrawal from the university. Failure to file the appropriate paperwork with the registrar will result in a failing grade.

A drop is when the student drops out of the course during the 100% tuition refund period. Dates for the 100% tuition refund  can be found in the calendar section of this schedule. The general refund policy can be found elsewhere in the schedule of classes and also in the university catalog. Dropped courses never appear on the student’s transcript. Because the student’s financial aid may be affected by a dropped course, the student should see the Financial Aid office before completing the drop process.

A withdrawal is when the student withdraws from a course after the 100% tuition refund period. The course appears on the student’s transcript with a grade of “WD.” Dates for the last day to withdraw can be found in the calendar section of this schedule of classes. Refund amounts differ according to when a student withdraws - refer to the schedule of classes or the catalog for the correct refund. Because the student’s financial aid may be affected by a withdrawal, the student should see the Financial Aid office before completing the withdrawal process.

Refunds may be available based on the refund schedule published elsewhere in the schedule. No withdrawals, drops or adds will be accepted after the designated dates. If students were enrolled previously in a payment plan, they are responsible for contacting the Student Accounts Office to modify their agreement.

AUDIT COURSES

A student may audit a scheduled course by adding it to his/her registration as an “audit.” Records are kept of audit courses and a special tuition is charged. Transfer from credit to audit or from audit to credit registration is not permitted after the add/drop period. Permitted only on a space available basis.

ACADEMIC LOAD

A full-time undergraduate student registers for 12 or more hours a semester, a part-time student for 11 or fewer. To register for more than 18 hours, a student must have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or above and obtain approval of his/her advisor. If the student does not meet the GPA requirement, approval of the vice president for academic affairs is required.

Graduate students are considered full-time if they are enrolled for 6 or more hours.

GRADUATION RATE

As required by the Student Right-to-Know Act of 1990, Newman University hereby discloses that the graduation rate for degree-seeking, full-time freshmen at Newman for the six-year reporting period beginning with the 2015 fall semester is 62%.

CANCELED CLASSES

Newman University reserves the right to cancel any class or to change the day, time, location, or instructor of any class without obligation. For up-to-date schedule information, visit www.newmanu.edu, click on “Current Students”, then “Course Schedule”.

FAMILY EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS AND PRIVACY ACT

The Family Educational rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. Students have the right to inspect and review their education records and to request the amendment of their records if they believe they are inaccurate or misleading. Students also have the right to file complaints with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office concerning alleged failures by the institution to comply with the Act.

Under FERPA, information other than “directory information” cannot be given to a third party without the expressed written consent of the student with the exception of Newman University officials and faculty for expressed educational interest. The university routinely publishes material classified as “directory information” which is acceptable within the act. Newman University Directory Information includes the following: name, addr4ess (campus, home, email), telephone numbers, Student ID number, class standing (freshman, sophomore, ect.), major field(s) of study, course load, status (full-time, half-time, etc.), dates of attendance, degree(s) conferred (including dates), awards, honors (including Dean’s List and graduation honors), past and present participation in officially recognized activities and sports, membership in campus organizations, physical factors (height, weight of athletes), and previous institutions(s) attended. An individual, however, may direct that his or her name may not appear in the directory information by notifying the registrar in writing at the time of registration.

Questions concerning the Family Educational rights and Privacy Act may be referred to the Registrar’s Office.

TUITION AND FEES:

After enrolling, bills will be made available online and notification will be sent of its availability to the student’s University email address (@newmanu.edu) within 24 hours.  If an email notification is not received, the student bears the responsibility to log into NU Pay to view and pay any and all charges by the due date.  The current published tuition and fees schedules are available at https://newmanu.edu/nu-pay/tuition-fees.   Charges for Tuition and Fees are subject to change every semester.

THIRD-PARTY SPONSORS OR FINANCIAL AID:

Students who expect a third party to pay all or part of their financial obligation to the University have a responsibility to meet all requirements of grantors, lenders, employers, and other third parties on a timely basis to ensure disbursement of financial aid or sponsorships to their student account.  If financial aid or sponsorship is reduced or canceled, students remain responsible for any outstanding balances and for reimbursing the University any amounts that they are not eligible to receive.

OUR FINAL TUITION DUE DATE IS AUGUST 7, 2024. Students who enroll after August 7th, will have 30 days to pay their balance. Students who have account balances in excess of financial aid or other guaranteed payment support must pay their balances in full by the tuition due date or enroll in an online payment plan to finalize their enrollment. Students failing to do so, will be assessed a late fee plus interest of 1.5% per month until the balance is paid or set up on a payment plan. For information regarding our online payment plans please see the NU PAY page on our website.

REFUND POLICY AND REFUND SCHEDULE FOR TUITION, ROOM, AND BOARD

POLICY FOR FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID RECIPIENTS WHO WITHDRAW FROM NEWMAN UNIVERSITY

Recipients of Federal Student Financial Aid (student loans, Pell Grant, SEOG, TEACH) who completely withdraw from Newman University during a period of enrollment in which they began attending will have their financial aid reviewed to determine the amount of aid earned. Newman must calculate the amount of financial aid funds students have earned at the point of withdrawal.

Students must complete more than 60 percent of the enrollment period before their financial aid is not affected for the current term. The percentage of enrollment earned is the total number of calendar days completed divided by the total number of calendar days in the term.

Newman must return the unearned portion of financial aid to the proper Federal Financial Aid Programs. The order in which the university must return financial aid is as follows:

Direct Unsubsidized Loan

Direct Subsidized Loan

Direct PLUS Loan

Federal Pell Grant

FSEOG

TEACH Grant

Any unearned financial aid returned to the student loan program/programs will reduce the student’s loan debt. Once Newman returns the unearned portion of financial aid to the proper entities, students may owe the unearned portion of financial aid to the university. Students must immediately contact Student Accounts to make payment arrangements if needed.

It is critical for students to speak with the financial aid staff regarding complete withdrawal before they decide to quit attending class.

For a copy of the Return of Title IV Funds Worksheet, please visit the Financial Aid Office.

Financial Aid: Federal, state and institutional aid is available for most credit courses for degree-seeking students, not including courses for audit only. The majority of institutional aid applies to fall and spring semesters only.  For institutional aid, students must be enrolled full time (12 hours or more at Newman University per term). Students must be making academic progress toward their degrees to keep their financial aid. Please see the satisfactory academic progress chart below. To view the complete satisfactory academic progress policy, go to the Financial Aid page on www.newmanu.edu.
