Overview

9th and 10th semester policy

The purpose of this policy is to outline a consistent and equitable approach to charging tuition and outlining financial aid eligibility for special populations that are enrolled beyond the 8th semester for specific reasons. This includes but may not be limited to Education majors completing Student-Teacher requirements; Public Accounting majors completing CPA or major requirements; students wanting to remain enrolled in undergraduate courses beyond degree completion; students wanting to enroll part-time beyond 8th semester; students ineligible for the Four-Year Graduation Guarantee program. 

Tuition & Financial Aid

Students enrolled in fall or spring semester of the 5th year (Gustavus semesters 9 & 10) for the purposes outlined above will be charged 40% of the approved annual tuition rate for full or part-time students. Students are responsible for all other mandatory fees, such as technology fee, student activity fee, course fees, etc. 

Students are not eligible for institutional aid, such as the Gustavus Tuition Grant and Music scholarships, beyond the 8th semester at Gustavus. Students who are eligible for Title IV financial aid and who have not completed degree requirements, remain eligible for financial aid such as Federal Pell Grant, Minnesota State Grant, or loans. Once a student completes degree requirements, the student is no longer eligible for Title IV or state financial aid.
