Financial Aid Criteria

Financial aid is calculated with the assumption that students will progress through the sequence of courses in their chosen majors with their assigned cohort group.  Students who deviate from this may become ineligible for part or all of their financial aid.  Bethel assesses fees associated with changing cohort groups or adding and dropping classes.  Students considering a change in enrollment status are strongly encouraged to contact the Office of University Financial Aid, the Bethel University Business Office, and the College of Adult & Professional Studies prior to taking any action.  Any federal student loan recipient who graduates, withdraws, transfers to another school, or drops below half-time attendance receives loan counseling.  The student will be informed of his or her rights and responsibilities as a borrower, including repayment options for student loans.  The university does not release academic transcripts until loan counseling is completed.
