SGPS FINANCIAL AID COSTS
When you’re already paying monthly bills for things like a mortgage, rent, and childcare, you’re not usually in a place to pay the per-semester rate most colleges would require for tuition. The GPS program and MVNU understands this and that’s why we structure tuition on a per-credit, course-by-course basis.
How does this help you? In this structure, the overall cost of returning to school becomes more affordable. Only able to take one course per term? No problem. You’ll only pay for that course and the associated fees.
And don’t forget, our working adult students are eligible for loans, grants, scholarships, and employer reimbursement programs. This lessens the total amount you’ll be expected to pay. In turn, the cost of finishing your degree won’t get in the way of your dreams.
This is why, Money Magazine named MVNU one of the “Best Colleges for Getting Big Scholarships” and LendEdu.com listed us as second in Ohio for lowest average student debt.

Paying Your Tuition
You have options for the paying program costs. These will depend on if and how you receive tuition reimbursement from your employer:
- Apply for financial aid first. After MVNU informs you of your eligibility, you’ll be responsible for paying the remaining balance.
- Your employer sends a voucher or letter to MVNU’s Student Financial Services Office, and between this amount and your financial aid eligibility, you will be responsible for the outstanding balance, which is due by the first night of each course.
- If your employer bases their tuition assistance on academic performance, you’ll need to pay the remaining tuition balance within four weeks after the course ends.
Understand that if tuition is not received by these deadlines, students will not be able to attend the course and may be withdrawn. However, if a student does pay by the deadline but does not end up attending, MVNU will issue a full tuition refund. If a student decides to withdraw from MVNU, they will be billed through the last course attended.
Student Financial Agreement
Prior to enrolling at MVNU, all GPS students must complete and submit the Student Financial Agreement form. This document confirms the student understands their financial obligation, regardless of outside assistance.
If a student fails to pay their tuition:
- Enrollment in the current course or semester will be terminated.
- MVNU will prohibit the student from enrolling for any new courses until the outstanding balance is paid.
- Interest and fees may be added to the outstanding amount, and the amount may be sent to a collection agency.
- MVNU will withhold all diplomas and transcripts.
Students have the right to appeal a delinquency classification, although the Student Financial Services Office has the final say in this decision. Once the school receives the outstanding balance, all diplomas and transcripts will be released.
