  • Normally, payment for tuition, books, and fees
    are required at the time of registration.
    However, a payment plan for tuition and fees is
    available for all students. Books are not
    included in a payment plan and must be paid for
    in full. (Some exceptions can be made for TA
    students.) Tuition and fees can be paid in three
    installments (see below).
  • PAYMENT SCHEDULE
  • 1/3 of total tuition and fees due at registration
  • 1/3 of total tuition and fees due within 30 days
    after registration
  • 1/3 of total tuition and fees due within 60 days
    after registration
  • NOTE All students must submit a Credit
    Agreement
  • as part of the Application Packet due to the
    availability of the payment plan.

Payment of Account
  • A students account balance from a previous term
    must be paid in full one week prior to
    registration for a new term. Payments may be
    made in cash, check, money order, or bank credit
    card (Visa, American Express, MasterCard, or
    Discover). Payment of expenses by any means other
    than these constitutes an extension of credit.
    Regardless of the terms or sources, the account
    is the fiscal responsibility of the student until
    paid in full. All proceeds from financial aid are
    first applied to the students outstanding
    balance. Students receiving funds from financial
    aid grants, loans, or student work, will receive
    prompt disbursement of any remaining funds after
    all financial obligations to Wayland are paid.
    Checks are issued from the Plainview Campus, and
    may take time coming through the mail. However,
    you may fill out a direct deposit form with your
    Financial Aid counselor and the excess funds will
    be deposited directly into your account.
  • Exact cash is requiredwe do not keep cash on
    hand to make change.

10
  • NOTE A student account must be paid in full
    before Wayland Baptist University will issue an
    academic transcript or diploma. In addition,
    academic transcripts are not released if a
    student is delinquent or classified as in default
    on a Federal or State student loan.TA
    Students Many WBU students have their fees and
    tuition paid by third parties, such as the US
    Military, a school district, or a Federal grant.
    Students should be aware that THEY ARE
    RESPONSIBLE for their balance if their TA source
    defaults on payment. We will invoice the TA, but
    if they refuse to pay, for whatever reason, the
    student will be invoiced for any amount due.

  • If an academic advisor is unavailable, or a
    student is not physically able to get to an
    academic advisor in the time period specified due
    to EXTREME extenuating circumstances (illness,
    injury, death in the immediate family, sudden
    military or work-related schedule change) a
    student may send an e-mail notification to
    wallys_at_wbu.edu (Ft. Wainwright Academic Advisor)
    or durbinb_at_wbu.edu (Eielson Academic Advisor).
    NOTE The nature of the e-mail to drop/withdraw
    must be followed up by a personal contact with
    their academic advisor as soon as possible.
    E-mail requests for drop/withdrawl may not be
    granted the same level of refund if the
    circumstances are not extreme in nature. Final
    approval of refund requests may be decided on a
    case-by-case basis by the Dean of the Fairbanks
    Campus.

Financial Aid Programs
  • Approximately 91 of all Wayland degree-seeking
    students receive some type of financial aid. The
    aid comes from many sources, including Federal
    and State funding. Students interested in
    applying for financial aid should contact the
    Financial Aid Advisor at 377-4398.
  • Financial Aid Programs available to Wayland
    students who qualify
  • Federal Financial Aid
  • Military Tuition Assistance
  • V.A. Educational Benefits
  • Employer Assistance

13
Federal Financial Aid
  • There are two basic types of Federal Aid
    available through the Fairbanks Campus the
    Stafford Loan and the Pell Grant. Eligibility
    for Federal Aid is determined by completing the
    Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
    Form (for more information visit
    http//www.fafsa.ed.gov/). The FAFSA will be
    evaluated for eligibility and the results will be
    mailed to students in the form of a Student Aid
    Report (SAR). This SAR should be reviewed by the
    student for accuracy. Wayland Baptist University
    students must also complete an Institutional
    Application for Financial Aid Form, available at
    any Wayland site. To be eligible for financial
    aid, students must be degree-seeking, officially
    admitted to WBU, and have a high school diploma,
    GED or 2 years of college credit that is
    transferable toward a bachelors degree.
  • Please be aware that fafsa.com is a commercial
    site that will charge you for a free service. Do
    not go there. Use fafsa.ed.gov instead.


14
Military Tuition Assistance (T.A.)
  • The military normally pays 100 of all tuition
    and lab fees for active duty members as of Oct
    2002. Students using this form of Tuition
    Assistance (TA) must turn in authorization
    paperwork with their registration each term.
    Normally, TA paperwork will go to the WBU office
    on Eielson AFB (Ft. Wainwright students to the
    Ft. Wainwright office). TA Authorization is
    available through your Education Center. Any
    changes in enrollment must be processed through
    the WBU office on your post or base.
  • Spouses of active duty Air Force members may
    qualify for up to 375 per term in Spouse Tuition
    Assistance (SPTA). Eligibility is determined by
    the Air Force Education Center. For more
    information, call the WBU office at Eielson AFB,
    at (907) 377-4398.


15
V.A. Education Benefits
  • Students using the G.I. Bill are required to pay
    1/3 of their tuition and fees at the time of
    registration. The Wayland V.A. Certifying
    Official sends Enrollment Certifications,
    detailing enrollment and costs, to the V.A.
    Regional Processing Office (RPO) electronically
    after the initial drop period. It normally takes
    30 days for V.A. to process paperwork and begin
    to send the student payments. Students using
    V.A. for the first time must send the RPO an
    Application for V.A. Educational Benefits Form
    before they can qualify for any benefits.
    Students are encouraged to verify enrollment via
    internet or telephone on a monthly basis after
    the initial 30 days. Verification of enrollment
    will reduce the time involved in receiving monies
    (call 1-888-GIBILL-1 for more information or
    visit http//www.gibill.va.gov/).
  • Speak to an Education Officer or the Wayland V.A.
    Certifying Official for more information. Other
    programs sponsored by the V.A. include V.A.
    Vocational Rehabilitation and Survivors and
    Dependants Educational Assistance.

16
Employer Educational Assistance
  • Employers often assist their employees in paying
    for continued education or degree completion.
    Check your organizations educational policies
    for more information or speak to your supervisor.
    If your employer has a program that will pay for
    your tuition, fee, and/or books, you may provide
    WBU a letter detailing what the employer
    will pay. Students that can provide
    documentation of financial assistance
    may be allowed to register for
    coursework without paying at the
    time of registration.

Evaluation of Transfer Credit
  • The academic advisors at Wayland Baptist
    University-Fairbanks Campus are currently
    authorized to do unofficial evaluations of
    previous academic, military, and other credit.
    Official evaluations are completed at the
    Plainview Campus upon receipt of official
    transcripts and documentation. This process
    normally takes 4-6 weeks once all transcripts are
    received.
  • An official evaluation is documented on a degree
    plan. The degree plan is a worksheet used by
    academic advisors and students to track progress
    towards completion of a given degree. The degree
    plan is not a substitute for speaking with an
    academic advisor. There are many subtle
    requirements that can be missed, therefore
    periodic reviews with an academic advisor are
    highly recommended.

  • The BSOE degree program is designed to
    accommodate a diverse number of needs for working
    adult-learners. Options are built into each

THE DEGREE PLAN
Your map to the future!
32
Top of the Degree Plan
This is what the top of an official degree plan
looks like. The information contained in this
portion of the degree plan is where most of the

that you speak with an academic advisor to ensure
the coursework you are taking will meet all
degree requirements including the ones contained
in the top of the degree plan.

program is what makes the BSOE a liberal arts
education. It includes English, History, Math,
Science, Foreign Language, Religion, Political
Science, Speech, Computer, and Physical Education
credits. This section is often referred to as
General Requirements, and are somewhat
standardized from school to school. Speak to an
academic counselor about any questions you have
regarding transfer credit into this area.
34
Graduate Exit Seminar
  • The Graduate Exit Seminar (GRAD 4101) is required
    in the General Education portion for all students
    wishing to graduate with their Bachelors degree.
    The course is considered a capstone course in
    which you will use your learning at Wayland
    Baptist University to complete a Senior Research
    Project. It is recommended that you create a
    file in which you save graded papers, as they may
    be used within this course.

portion of a degree plan using a Business
Administration Major. Each major or major with a
specialization has a specific list of courses
that are required to complete all the degree
requirements. When you speak with a counselor or
receive a degree plan, carefully follow the
listed requirements.

    of elective credit. If a student wants a minor
    in a specific field he or she must earn 18
    semester hours of credit in their minor subject
    area (see an academic advisor for details)
    instead of elective credit.

37
Practicum/Internship Professional Development

BSOE degree that makes it unique from
traditional BA or BS degrees. Wayland Baptist

    receive course grades with picture I.D. At no
    time will student course grades be released over
    the phone or to a third party without written
    permission due to Federal Privacy requirements.

43
Standards of Conduct
  • Wayland proudly adheres to high standards of
    intellectual, personal, and spiritual values.
    Convinced that self-discipline is more desirable
    than outside force, and that the truly educated
    person must pursue what is right under all
    circumstances, Wayland charges each student with
    the obligation to preserve these standards.
  • Each student enrolled at Wayland is responsible
    for reading and abiding by the rules and
    regulations as printed in the University Academic
    Catalog, Student Handbook, and student
    information sheets.

Classroom Contact Hours
All Wayland Fairbanks Campus terms are 11 weeks
in length with each course meeting for a total of
46 contact class hours. Break periods and
individual study time outside the class does not
count toward classroom hours.
44
Learning Outcomes at Wayland
  • Wayland Baptist Universitys accrediting agency,
    the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
    (SACS), mandates that a record of the learning
    outcomes attained during the Bachelor of Science
    in Occupational Education (BSOE) program be
    maintained by the student and Wayland Baptist
    University. These outcomes will be tracked
    through student portfolios, college or university
    transcripts, capstone courses, tests, exit
    interviews, employer surveys, and other sources.
    Outcomes attained at Wayland will be tracked and
    documented by the student, staff, and faculty.
    Guidance for maintaining these records will be
    promulgated through newsletters, counseling
    sessions and classroom activities.

45
Attendance Policy
  • Students enrolled at Wayland Baptist University
    should make every effort to attend all classes.
    All absences must be explained to the
    satisfaction of the instructor, who will decide
    if the omitted work may be made up.
  • Any student who misses 25 (normally more than 2
    sessions) of the regularly scheduled class
    meetings will receive a grade of F for that
    course. If a student is going to be absent for
    more than 25 of the classes, they may withdraw
    before the sixth week to avoid receiving a
    failing grade.
  • When a student reaches a number of absences
    considered to be excessive by the instructor, the
    instructor will so advise the student and file an
    Unsatisfactory Progress Report with the Campus
    Dean.
  • Additional attendance policies for each course
    can be further defined by the instructor in the
    course syllabus.
  • If an instructor fails to appear or fails to send
    notice of arrival within the first 30 minutes of
    a class period, students may leave without
    incurring an absence.
  • The student may petition the Campus Dean for
    exceptions to the above stated policies.

46
Plagiarism
  • Intellectual integrity and truthfulness are
    fundamental to scholarship. Scholars, whether
    performing as students or as teachers, are
    engaged in a search for truth. Plagiarism is a
    form of cheating and also a form of thievery. It
    is a breech of scholarly responsibility,
    unethical, and illegal. Plagiarism occurs when a
    student fails to give proper credit when
    information is quoted or paraphrased.
    Carelessness is no excuse. If there is any doubt

Student Appeals
  • The process for student appeals or grievances is
    detailed in the University Policies and
    Procedures Manual and Student Handbook. This
    manual is readily available in the Wayland Campus
    office.
  • Typically, the appeal process begins with the
    instructor. If a satisfactory decision is not
    rendered, the process continues through the
    Campus Dean and the Vice President for Academic
    and Student Services, Main Campus.
  • A student experiencing discriminatory or sexual
    harassing behavior by peers, instructors, or
    staff should directly contact the Campus Dean
    immediately.

48
Drop/Add A Class
  • A student is considered having officially
    withdrawn from a course ONLY after he or she has
    notified the Wayland Albuquerque Campus staff IN
    WRITING and paid all accounts. Students are
    required to complete a Change of Program Form in
    order to officially Drop, Withdraw, or Add a
    class. Failure to complete the proper paperwork
    can result in a failing grade or no grade for a
    class completed. Please notify the Wayland staff
    if your name is not listed on a class roster in
    which you feel you have properly enrolled.
  • VERY IMPORTANT - If you simply stop going to
    class, and you have not withdrawn from the class,
    you may receive a failing grade because you did
    not notify the Campus Dean in writing that you
    wished to drop the class or fill out an official
    drop form.
  • SPEAK WITH A COUNSELOR IF YOU NOTICE ANY
    DISCREPANCIES ON A GRADE LETTER IMMEDIATELY,
    CHANGES MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE IF YOU WAIT FOR MORE
    THAN ONE TERM TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE!

Contact Information
  • For a problem in a degree plan Students should
    direct problems within their degree plan to an
    academic advisor. Please do not bypass the
    advisor by calling Main Campus. This action may
    prolong solving the problem, as all bypassed
    inquiries will be re-directed back to the
    Fairbanks Campus advisors. The Campus Dean is
    also available to assist in degree plan problems.
  • For financial aid problems Students
    experiencing financial aid problem should meet
    with a Financial Aid Advisor. Adrienne Ware is
    the current FA advisor.
  • For account problems Students experiencing
    accounts problem may direct these issues to the
    Campus Administrative Assistant of Student
    Services. If a student is unable to pay the
    balance on a past-due account, the student should
    call the Administrative Assistant of Student
    Services and arrange a payment plan. Adrienne
    Ware is the current Administrative Assistant of
    Student Services .

Evaluations
  • Wayland believes in continuous evaluation to
    assess its academic programs. As such, all
    Wayland students can anticipate evaluation
    activities both during and outside class. Testing
    areas may include the general education core,
    major field, and student opinion surveys. Test
    and survey data are used to help improve Wayland
    programs.
  • Students are also asked to evaluate instructors
    and library resources for each class. These
    surveys are sent directly to the Office of
    Institutional Research and Effectiveness in
    Plainview. Instructors and the Campus Dean
    receive summary reports for each class and are
    never allowed to see individual evaluation sheets.
