UNDERGRADUATE COSTS AND FINANCIAL AID

Seattle Pacific University(SPU) is committed to providing high-quality Christian education at a reasonable price. This is achieved through a dedicated faculty who provide nationally recognized excellence without primary regard for personal remuneration; administrative staff who work continually to provide needed services with greater efficiency; and trustees, alumni, churches, and other friends of the University who provide necessary financial support.

All expenditures related to educational and support activities are carefully planned and budgeted. The trustees, University president, and other administrators are committed to a high level of stewardship in the handling of all of Seattle Pacific�s financial resources, with a goal of maintaining financial stability for current and future students.

All programs and policies at the University are under continual review. Therefore, SPU reserves the right to change its financial aid awards, policies, or charges at any time without previous notice. After the beginning of a quarter, however, no change will be made that is effective within the quarter.

Every student is presumed to be familiar with the payment schedules and other financial policies and procedures published in this Undergraduate Catalog. Financial assistance, including scholarships, grants, student employment, and various types of loans, is available to qualified students on a limited basis and is described in detail in this Catalog.

Student Financial Services is responsible for providing service to students regarding tuition and fees, payments on accounts, financial aid, student employment, and other financial assistance. While every effort has been made to provide helpful and understandable explanations of the University�s fees and financial policies, students may still have questions from time to time and staff is prepared to assist.

The goal of the staff is to provide helpful, friendly service to all inquirers. It is the hope of Seattle Pacific University that students will have not only exceptional educational experiences, but they also will feel that same commitment to excellence and service throughout all of the support areas of the institution.
