2011-2012 Undergraduate Addendums

The printed and online versions of the 2011-2012 Chapman University Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs were published prior to the approval of curriculum changes made after June 2011.

Expenses and Financial Aid

We do our best to see that no student is turned away from attending Chapman for financial reasons alone. The Admission and Financial Aid Offices work together to alert students to the federal and state grants–in–aid, part–time employment, and low–interest loan programs available. Each year Chapman invests more than $84 million in scholarships, grants, and loans for academically promising and needy students. In addition, the Business Office works closely with students and parents to assure that billing is accurate and timely. All costs listed in this section are subject to change without notice.

Students dropping a course in the prescribed manner after the add/drop period and on or before the final day to withdraw from a course (as stated in the "Academic Calendar" section) will receive a "W" notation.

The "FW" grade is assigned to students who cease attending part way through the semester but who do not officially withdraw via WebAdvisor or the Office of the University Registrar. "FW" is computed in the grade‑point average as an "F." Students who take a course Pass/No Pass, cease attending part way through the semester, and fail to officially withdraw will receive an "NP" grade.
