Fees
Class fees are charged as published in the 2020-21 Walla Walla University
Financial Bulletin. Workshops, Study Tours (see Study Tours), Rosario Beach Marine Laboratory (see
Rosario Beach Marine Laboratory) or extended field trips may require payment of special fees.
In addition to any class fees, the following General Fee applies:
Undergraduate $114*
Graduate $70*
*This fee only applies to students who are at least half time (6 credits for undergraduate, 4 credits for graduate) during the summer session. It does not apply to NPUC Teachers, study tour, ACA or Rosario students.
Tuition-North Pacific Union Conference Teachers
Teachers from within the North Pacific Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists whose employing conferences confirm that they are under contract for the 2020-2021 school year may qualify for a tuition waiver. However, teachers must pay directly when billed for books, supplies, graduation fees, miscellaneous class fees, or room rental charges. Conference sponsorship does not cover classes requiring individualized instruction (aviation, music lessons, etc.).
Tuition Refunds
A student withdrawing from classes during the summer quarter will receive a refund in accordance with the policy stated in the online Financial Bulletin. A 100 percent refund is given if no more than 10 percent of the class is over, 75 percent, if no more than 20 percent of the class is over, and 50 percent, if no more than 40 percent of the class is over. Refund deadlines vary according to the length and dates of each class; see Refund and Withdrawal Deadlines for main session refund dates. A complete schedule of refund dates is available at the Academic Records Office.
When a student withdraws during the quarter, no refund will be made until 30 days after the close of the month in which the student withdrew. Students who leave school without completing withdrawal procedures will be charged until proper arrangements are made. Refunds, if applicable and approved, will be based on the date withdrawal arrangements are completed, not the date course attendance ended.

Insurance
All Walla Walla University students must have health insurance while they are enrolled at WWU. Students are responsible for obtaining and maintaining their health insurance. If a student’s health insurance lapses while they are a student at WWU, they are responsible for obtaining replacement coverage. All students, and in particular our international students, are encouraged to carefully review their health insurance coverage to ensure that they are covered for services in the Walla Walla region. If students require assistance in finding a health insurance plan to meet their needs, please go to
www.wallawalla.edu/insurance.
On-Campus Student Employment
Work opportunities are limited during the summer months and employment is not guaranteed. Students are strongly encouraged to arrange for work prior to arriving on campus. Employment opportunities may be available in grounds, custodial, residence hall custodial, plant maintenance, The Express, library, campus offices, and academic departments. Permission to begin working is given only to students who are registered for summer quarter or who have been accepted and preregistered for a minimum of 12 credit hours fall quarter.
All students wishing to work on the Walla Walla University campus are required to present original documents that establish both their identity and eligibility to work before they will be authorized to begin work. For more information, contact the Student Employment Office at (509) 527-2357 or (800) 656-2357.
All students who work on campus during the summer are required to sign a Summer Worker Agreement at the Student Employment Office by June 21, 2021. Student employees who rent from the university, either residence hall or university housing, must pay any previous balance owing on their accounts and make arrangements for payment of summer rent by June 21. They may either pay their summer rent in advance or agree to a payroll deduction of at least 75 percent of their wages to cover their rent, cafeteria, and other charges as they occur, and to save for fall quarter expenses. If charges exceed the payroll deduction, students are responsible for paying their account promptly when billed. Students with unusual situations may consult a financial counselor about a possible reduction in their payroll deduction.
Student summer employees who do not rent housing from the university are encouraged to voluntarily sign up for a payroll deduction of at least 35 percent to save for fall quarter expenses.
Financial Aid
Students who need assistance for summer quarter may apply for limited financial aid. Some students may be eligible for a Federal Pell Grant or loans, such as Federal Direct Loans.
Students who wish to be considered for federal grants and loans will want to submit their 2020-2021 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) online at https://fafsa.ed.gov/ prior to June 30, 2021. The federal government will not grant exceptions to this deadline. A student cannot be considered for the Federal Pell Grant or the Federal Direct Loan if this deadline is missed. All financial forms and applications can be found at wallawalla.edu/forms.
A completed Financial Aid file contains:
- Correct ISIR (institutional Student Information Record). The federal processor generates the ISIR after a FAFSA is submitted. Students who list Walla Walla University (code 003799) on their FAFSA will have their ISIR electronically sent to Walla Walla University by the federal processor. Students who did not list Walla Walla University on their FAFSA will need to add WWU's code (003799) to their FAFSA.
- Walla Walla University Financial Aid Application (either undergraduate or the graduate depending on acceptance into a program). This application may be submitted online at sfs.wallawalla.edu/aid-application.
- Proof of school completion (final transcript or letter of verification) for undergraduate; proof of Bachelor completion (final transcript) for graduate.
- Additional documentation, if needed, for verification purposes.
Only financial aid that has been awarded by registration time may be deducted from the estimated costs. Students eligible for federal financial aid must be registered for classes by June 30. Students who register or add classes after that date cannot receive federal financial aid for those classes.
Students who are on a waiting list or waiting for a letter of acceptance should complete the financial aid application. Aid is not awarded until students receive their acceptance to Walla Walla University. However, if a student is accepted and moves off the waiting list at the last moment, it is to the student’s advantage to have the financial aid application already completed.
