Tax Credits
The Hope Scholarship and the Lifetime Learning credits are determined by the amount a taxpayer(student) paid for qualified tuition and related expenses and the amount of his/her modified adjusted gross income for the same taxable year. Please consult a qualified tax preparer, CPA, or IRS online for further interpretation and understanding.
Parking Permits (Update as of May 27, 2009)
In an effort to maintain the balance in rising costs associated with campus growth and in accommodating the increased student demand for parking spaces, the new annual student parkng permit fee has been established at $400.00 beginning academic year 2009-2010. This fee increase also considers the study and information gathered by the University Parking Task Force on the actual costs incurred for parking by the University as well as with respect to the parking practices carried out by other higher education institutions. A university owned parking structure is now nearing its completion (tentativedly by August, 2009) to augment the current parking space allocation. It is therefore necessary for the University to now restructure the subsidizing of the student parking costs and continue to expand and improve the provision of a safe and secured campus environment.
Emergency Loans
It is a short term loan granted to a qualified student, meeting the emergency criteria. Applications are approved by the Bursar s Office. Repayment is required within three months or upon receipt of any financial aid funds, whichever occurs first. A delinquency could be subject to a ‘collection hold status.
Account Statement
It is a student financial record which details all financial charges, such as tuition and fees, health insurance, parking permit, emergency loan; and all payments, such as personal checks and cash, financial aid funding, scholarship and other fund award.
