Student Financial Services

Financial Aid

The following is a list of financial aid programs available to students in the College of Arts and Sciences.

University of Redlands Grants

University Grants are awarded to qualified undergraduates who meet all filing deadlines. Awards are based on financial need, academic standing, and availability of funds. They are made possible, in part, through gifts to the university. The Office of Advancement Services coordinates donor relations, and you may be asked to write a letter of thanks to the donor and/or participate in donor recognition activities. University grants go toward tuition expenses only.
Note: Students must reapply for financial aid every year by March 2. Students who apply after March 2 will have a 10 percent reduction in their University grant. After July 1, there will be a 25 percent reduction in University grant.

Cal Grant A and Cal Grant B

Cal Grants are funded by the State of California and are administered by the California Student Aid Commission (CSAC). Awards are based on financial need and grade point average. When you file a FAFSA and a Cal Grant GPA verification form by March 2, you are automatically considered for a grant. Cal Grant eligibility is contingent on students and/or parents meeting income and asset requirements. CSAC makes all final Cal Grant decisions. It is the policy of the University of Redlands to directly apply financial aid and/or scholarship funds to current year tuition, fees, residence hall charges, and other institutional expenses before releasing funds to students. A student may request that their Cal Grant B Access Grant be disbursed directly to them. This request can be made at any time; however, if the grant has already been disbursed, the request would affect only future payments. The request may be made in person to Student Financial Services or via email at SFS@redlands.edu.

Federal Pell Grant

This federal grant ranges from $606 to $5,920 for a full-time undergraduate student. The award is determined by the amount of the EFC in relation to the cost of attending the University of Redlands. Eligibility is limited to a total of 12 semesters during the pursuit of a student’s first baccalaureate degree.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

This federal grant assists students who demonstrate financial need and is administered by the Office of Student Financial Services. Grants range from $200 to $4,000 per academic year. A student must have a Pell Grant to be eligible to receive an FSEOG.

Institutional Loans

A loan is often part of a financial aid award package and enables students to defer educational costs. All educational loans must be repaid.

Redlands Loan

This 5 percent interest loan is packaged according to the university’s packaging policy. Funding is limited. Repayment begins six months after a student is no longer registered as an undergraduate student at the University of Redlands.

Federal Direct Student Loans

Federal Direct Student Loans are either subsidized or unsubsidized based on financial need, which is evaluated using the data reported on the FAFSA.

Federal Direct Subsidized Student Loan

This long-term student loan is available from the Department of Education. No interest is charged to the student, nor is repayment required, while the borrower is enrolled at least half-time. The interest rate for undergraduate students is a fixed 3.76 percent for loans borrowed after July 1, 2016. Students should consult their repayment schedules to determine the applicable interest rates for loans borrowed prior to July 1, 2016. Borrowers are eligible for a six-month grace period once they drop below half-time enrollment, before repayment begins. Interest accrues during the six month grace period, but you are not required to begin making payments until your grace period ends. If you do not pay the interest during your grace period, it will be capitalized. Students are eligible for this loan if they demonstrate a financial need using standards established by the U.S. Department of Education.

Loan Limits. Students with a demonstrated need can borrow what is needed, not to exceed a maximum subsidized amount of $3,500 a year for freshmen, up to $4,500 a year for sophomores, and up to $5,500 a year for juniors and seniors. The aggregate loan limit for subsidized direct loans is $23,000.

Federal Direct Unsubsidized Student Loans

This long-term student loan is available from the Department of Education. The interest rate on this loan is fixed at 3.76 percent for loans disbursed after July 1, 2016. Full-time and half-time students are eligible to apply. This loan is available to students who do not demonstrate the financial need necessary to qualify for Federal Direct Subsidized Loans.

The same terms and conditions apply as to Subsidized Federal Direct Loans, except the borrower is responsible for the interest that accrues during deferment periods (including time in school). During deferment periods, a student can (1) Make payments toward principal and interest; (2) Pay the interest quarterly and defer the principal; (3) Defer the interest and principal until the student goes into repayment (interest will accrue and be capitalized to the loan when the student enters repayment).

Loan Limits. Yearly loan limits for a dependent undergraduate student are $5,500 for a freshman, $6,500 for a sophomore, and $7,500 for a junior or senior in total Direct Loan funds. Yearly loan limits for independent students or students whose parents have been denied a PLUS Loan allow for an additional $4,000 (freshmen and sophomores) or $5,000 (juniors and seniors). The maximum aggregate loan amount for total direct loans is $31,000 for a dependent undergraduate student and $57,500 for an independent student, or those who have been denied a PLUS Loan.

Standard repayment on Direct Loans requires a minimum monthly payment of $50 or the amount required to repay the loan within 10 years. Visit Federal Direct Loan Information for more information.

Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan for Undergraduate Students 

Parents of dependent, undergraduate students are allowed to borrow a PLUS Loan for up to the total cost for the academic year, minus financial aid received. Repayment is required to begin within 60 days after the last disbursement; however, borrowers can request a deferment by contacting their loan servicer while their student is enrolled at least half-time toward their baccalaureate degree. The current interest rate is a fixed 6.31 percent for loans borrowed after July 1, 2016. The federal government deducts four percent in fees before the loan funds are disbursed to the University. The monthly minimum payment must be $50 or an amount that will allow the loan to be paid in full in 10 years, whichever is more. Fees for this loan may be reviewed online at Parent Plus Loan Information.

Academic and Talent Awards Not Based on Need

The University of Redlands offers a variety of talent- and merit-based scholarships. Current scholarship amounts and application deadlines may be found at www.redlands.edu/sfs/scholarships.

Achievement Awards

Achievement awards are determined by a review of academic record and/or leadership and accomplishment in school or community service. Entering freshmen and transfers are eligible for consideration.

Talent Awards

Talent awards are available in each of the following areas to entering freshmen students and transfer students: art, creative writing, music, and theatre. Selection and renewal are based upon recommendation by the department.

Renewal Policy on Merit Awards

To be eligible to renew Achievement Awards, Talent Awards, or Presidential Scholarships, students must make satisfactory progress toward their degree.

Achieve a cumulative GPA of at least 3.00 by the end of the sophomore year and each year thereafter. Johnston Center students who have few or no courses taken for a numerical grade must be similarly evaluated by the Johnston Center director.

Note: If a recipient of any of the above awards is also eligible for need-based funding, the total value of all University gift aid cannot exceed the cost of tuition.

Student Employment

Employment opportunities, both on and off campus, are available to those students who have work awards as part of their financial aid package.

The work-study program introduces students to the work force and helps them develop important skills for future careers. On-campus positions are available in most every department and include, but are not limited to, office assistant, research assistant, data entry clerk, lab technician, tour guide, tutor, and sport event assistant. The Student Employment Office partners with local businesses to offer a variety of opportunities for students. While some off-campus positions may require transportation, others may be walkable or bikeable. Past partnerships include placements with the City of Redlands, Redlands Unified School District, Boys & Girls Club, and local businesses in downtown Redlands including an accounting firm and marketing agency. Student employees can work up to 10 hours a week, which is limited to keep academics as the first priority.

Students should expect to earn between $3,000 and $3,500 per academic year. The exact earning potential will depend upon the student’s academic schedule and year in school. Institutional funds and federal funds are allocated to provide work awards to students.

Federal Direct Student Loans

This long-term loan is available from the Department of Education. The interest rate on this loan is fixed at 5.31 percent for loans disbursed after July 1, 2016. The terms and conditions of the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan require that the borrower be responsible for the interest that accrues during deferment periods (including time in school) and during the six-month grace period. During deferment periods, a student can (1) Make payments toward principal and interest; (2) Pay the interest quarterly and defer the principal; (3) Defer the interest and principal until the student goes into repayment (interest will accrue and be capitalized to the loan when the student enters repayment). Eligible graduate or professional students may borrow up to $20,500 per academic year. The maximum aggregate Direct Loan limit for a graduate or professional student is $138,500.

Federal Grad PLUS Loan

Graduate students are eligible to borrow from the Grad PLUS Loan Program. Students can borrow up to the cost of attendance minus other financial aid. It is recommended that students maximize their Direct Loan eligibility before borrowing from the Grad PLUS.

Students with a past due balance on their University account are subject to dismissal from the University. The University will not release transcripts or a diploma until the past due balance is paid in full.  Students will not be permitted to pre-register for the next term until the past due balance is paid in full.  If the University is required to use third-party collections (i.e., collection agency or attorney) to collect the student account balance due, any future registration may require payment in advance.

Policy on Refunds

Refund policies at the University of Redlands are established in compliance with the 2008 amendments to the Higher Education Act of 1965. The University has adopted the federal refund policy guidelines as its institutional policy. Refund policies are subject to change at any time, according to federal and state regulations. When such changes are made, notice will be given as far in advance as possible.

Refunds are determined from the date of official withdrawal or approved leave of absence. Students who withdraw unofficially or at the request of the University are not entitled to refunds for the current semester.

Students receiving federal Title IV financial aid funding may be eligible for a refund according to the federal refund guidelines. Federal regulations stipulate the allocation of refunds representing federal aid and repayment requirements for students receiving cash disbursements of federal aid.

Official Withdrawal

A withdrawal is considered official for all students when written notice has been provided to the Office of Student Life. Written withdrawal or leave of absence notification is required to state the intention of the student to discontinue the course(s) in which he or she is registered and their last date of attendance. The withdrawal will be considered effective as of the date the student gives official notification of intent to withdraw. If a student fails to withdraw officially, the applicable date will become the midpoint of the term, unless the University can document a later date. In certain circumstances, if a later date of last academic activity is substantiated, this date can be used in lieu of the midpoint of the term.

Returning Students

Students re-enrolling after withdrawal from the University will be charged current rates and fees based on the start date of new registration.

Temporary Absence

No refunds will be made for students who remain away for part of a semester without officially completing the withdrawal or leave of absence process. No refunds will be made in cases of disciplinary action, which includes suspension or expulsion.

For loans disbursed after July 1, 2016, the interest rate is a fixed 3.76%. For more information, visit www.redlands.edu/sfs/directloan.

Eligibility. Full-time and half-time students are eligible to apply. *Students are eligible for this loan if they demonstrate a financial need using standards established by the U.S. Secretary of Education. Eligibility is determined through needs analysis, documented via the FAFSA form. Eligibility is limited to U.S. citizens and qualified non-citizens.

Loan Limits. Post-baccalaureate (teacher credential) students may borrow up to $5,500 per academic year. The maximum aggregate Subsidized Direct Loan amount for an undergraduate or post-baccalaureate student is $23,000. Repayment of principal and interest begins six months after leaving school or if enrollment is less than half-time, with up to ten years using standard repayment. Students are not required to begin making payments until the grace period ends; however, during the grace period, interest will accrue on subsidized and unsubsidized loans. If interest is not paid during the grace period, it will be capitalized. All loans are assessed a loan origination fee on the amount of the loan.

The student’s options in handling the interest on the loan are:

Pay the interest and principal;

Pay the interest quarterly and defer the principal; or

Defer the interest and principal until the student goes into repayment. (Interest will accrue while the student is enrolled and in the grace period. Interest will be capitalized to the loan when the student begins repayment.)

Eligibility. Full-time and half-time students are eligible to apply.* Eligibility is documented via the FAFSA form. This loan is available to graduate students and students who do not otherwise demonstrate the financial need necessary to qualify for a subsidized loan.

Loan Limits. Full-time and half-time graduate students may borrow up to $20,500 per academic year. Undergraduate students may borrow up to $12,500 per academic year in total Direct Loan funds. Maximum aggregate loan limits are: for a dependent undergraduate student, $31,000; for an independent undergraduate student (or a dependent undergraduate student whose parent does not qualify for the PLUS Loan), $57,500; for a graduate or professional student, $138,500.

Federal Direct Grad PLUS Loan

The Grad PLUS Loan (GPLUS) is available to creditworthy students enrolled at least half-time in a graduate or professional program (students enrolled in the School of Education post-baccalaureate teaching credential program are ineligible).

Master of Arts in Education Degrees and Service Credentials 

The School of Education offers the following areas of study for a Master of Arts in Education degree: School Counseling, Curriculum and Instruction, Educational Administration, Higher Education, and Learning and Teaching. The requirements for a California teaching or service credential may be incorporated into the four other degree programs. In addition, master’s degrees may be earned without credentials, as in Educational Administration or in School Counseling. For those already holding master’s degrees, a pupil personnel services or both preliminary and professional levels of the administrative service credential may be earned in credential-only programs. Some programs have multiple starts each year. Classes are scheduled in the evening to accommodate working adults and courses are taught by full-time faculty and adjunct practitioners. Students also have Internet access to course content, classmates and faculty through Moodle, a software program that facilitates online discussions and information exchange.

The master’s programs, with the exception of the Master of Arts in Education Learning and Teaching, are based on a foundation of four graduate courses. These “core courses” provide the basic knowledge and skills to perform graduate level research, assessment, evaluation, writing, and personal and professional reflection, as well as multicultural perspectives. In addition to these core courses, each program has requirements specific to its discipline and tailored to meet student needs and interests. Students in these master’s programs complete an exit process tailored to their individual program (see program information for more details).

ACCREDITATION AND CERTIFICATION

Each teacher and service credential is accredited by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC). The teacher credentials are aligned with California SB 2042 standards. The pupil personnel services and the administrative services credentials also meet current state mandates. Master’s programs and the doctoral program are accredited through the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

Preliminary Teacher Credential Programs

Single and Multiple Subject Teacher Credentials

The coursework and the field experience segments of the Preliminary Teacher Credential are delivered in a prescribed sequence. An educational foundation course is followed by four methods-related courses. These methods courses are accompanied by two early field experiences in the public school system and the first two task-segments of the Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA), a state-mandated interactive examination that must be passed prior to recommendation for a credential. When candidates demonstrate the required program competencies, including all prerequisites, content and pedagogy coursework with a 3.0 or higher cumulative grade point average, and successful completion of the first two TPA tasks, they may begin their student teaching placements and the culminating seminar course. Throughout this portion of the program’s sequence, the final two task-segments of the TPA are completed and evaluated.

The use of educational technology is incorporated in all courses, field experiences and TPA segments, as are the theory and skills needed to effectively teach English Learners and diverse student populations enrolled in today’s classroom.

Culminating Experiences and Graduating Requirements

When candidates demonstrate the required program competencies, including all coursework with a 3.0 or higher cumulative grade point average and successful completion of the first two Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA) tasks, they may begin their student teaching courses. Throughout this portion of the program sequence, the final two segments of the TPA are completed and evaluated. No candidate can be recommended for a teaching credential until all TPAs have been successfully completed. The use of educational technology is incorporated in all courses, field experiences, and TPA segments, as are the theory and skills needed to effectively teach English learners and diverse student populations enrolled in today’s classrooms.

Education Specialist credential students must complete a Health Education Competency workshop or equivalency and Augmentative and Assistive Communication (AAC) Competency workshop or equivalent.

Transfer Credit Policy for the MALT Program

For Existing PTC Students

All PTC students must state at the outset whether they intend to enter as credential-only or as MALT degree-seeking. Students initially entering the Preliminary Teaching Credential program must transfer into the MALT program prior to the start of the second course in the program (EDUC 502 or EDUC 503). Students must pay the difference between the credential tuition rate and the master’s tuition rate per credit for each course taken. The EDUC 500A–D 1-credit fieldwork courses will not be accepted as transfer for the MALT 600 A–D 1-credit fieldwork courses because the latter have different graduate-level expectations. Students transferring into the MALT program will be required to take the master’s level fieldwork courses (MALT 600A–D).

For Former PTC Students

Former students who took PTC coursework prior to July 1, 2014, will not be able to transfer any of the 30 credits earned in the PTC program into the MALT program. However, the current transfer policy in the University Catalog will remain an option for the Master of Arts in Education in Curriculum and Instruction. Students who have completed their teaching credential at the University of Redlands as post-baccalaureate students within the past six years may use four of these courses, not including student teaching, as their electives.

Undergraduate Students

After graduating, University of Redlands College of Arts and Sciences students may apply to transfer fifteen credits of their EDUG courses into the MALT program. The EDUG 400A–D 1-credit fieldwork courses will not be accepted as transfer for the MALT 600A–D 1-credit fieldwork courses because the latter have different graduate-level expectations. Students transferring into the MALT program will be required to take the master’s level fieldwork courses (MALT 600A–D). These fieldwork courses are taken concurrently with the credential courses in the teacher education program as part of the Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA).

This model is depicted for single subject and multiple subject candidates as follows:

Undergraduate Transferable Multiple-Subject Courses*

EDUG 401 (3) transfers to MALT 601

EDUG 403 (3) transfers to MALT 603

EDUG 405 (3) transfers to MALT 605

School Counseling

The Master of Arts in Education School Counseling program involves training in counseling, consultation, and helping relationships. The program provides general counseling preparation for public and private school service. Coursework meets all standards required for a California Pupil Personnel Services (PPS) Credential.

In the School Counseling program, students may combine the degree and credential, earn a master’s degree only, or obtain a Pupil Personnel Services Credential, provided they already have a master’s degree. The master’s degree consists of 48 credits plus 600 documented fieldwork hours beyond the classroom. Twelve of the 48 credits are the core graduate courses and the remaining 36 credits are counseling-based and required for the PPS Credential. Those with master’s degrees who are earning only the PPS Credential usually have a credit requirement which ranges from 15 to 24, depending on the type of master’s degree the student has already earned. The 600 fieldwork hours are required for each option, and credential candidates must ensure at least two-thirds of their fieldwork hours are completed in K–12 school settings.

Although a California teacher credential is not required for the PPS Credential, successful completion of the California Basic Educational Skills Test (CBEST) is a prerequisite to enter the program. Also, candidates for the PPS program must apply for a Certificate of Clearance and need evidence of a negative TB test dated within the past two years when they initially enroll in the program. Additionally, students must pass a comprehensive written exam and exit conference.

Please refer to program handbook for additional information and requirements.

Doctorate degree

Doctorate in Leadership for Educational Justice

The Doctorate in Leadership for Educational Justice (Ed.D.) is a nationally unique program that engages up to 20 students per cohort in rigorous study, debate, research, and practice. Our driving mission is to produce scholarly practitioners who are sought for leadership roles in schools, districts, agencies, and public service, as well as faculty positions in institutions of higher education.

The program prepares educational leaders to recognize the varied levels of social and educational inequity and to serve as advocates for the disenfranchised and under-served that results in their personal and political empowerment. Candidates are consistently encouraged to analyze, debate, and develop productive strategies in response to the principles, challenges, and opportunities of equity and educational justice.

Graduates of the Doctorate in Leadership for Educational Justice Program will:

Employ a comprehensive understanding of social justice theories to identify proposed responses to educational inequities

Apply transformative leadership practices

Analyze how judicial decisions, policy, and educational finance systems address educational justice issues

Effectively advocate for equitable human rights for the disenfranchised through engaged leadership practices

Critically analyze a range of scholarship to inform professional practice and applied research activity

Comprehensively design and implement inquiry relevant to educational justice practices/principles

Draw from their understandings of the larger geopolitical context to analyze schools’ impact on equitable student treatment, outcomes, and broader societal well-being

Learning outcomes for the Doctorate in Leadership for Educational Justice (Ed.D.) are found online at www.redlands.edu/EDD-LDREJ/learning-outcomes.

Program Requirements

The entire program comprises 60 semester credits of advanced graduate work taken over three years. The core requirements include 48 credits of coursework. In addition, candidates will complete 12 credits of discipline-specific electives for the Ed.D. program. Students can satisfy their electives with master’s or higher-level coursework in their area of study completed at an accredited institution and with advisor approval. Students can satisfy up to 6 credits as electives with master’s or higher- level coursework in their area of study from advanced graduate work at the University of Redlands or transferred from another accredited institution. Coursework must have been completed within 10 years of program completion date. Please refer to the Ed.D. Handbook for additional information and requirements.

The program begins with an optional Educational Justice Institute that focuses on current issues and offers students an opportunity to engage with international experts. This institute, offered each summer, brings together all doctoral students. Each cohort group shares common experiences, as well as focuses on particular areas of study during each of the three summer institutes.

The first year of the doctoral program lays a foundation for the study of educational justice in the context of theory, leadership, and policy, and builds skills in inquiry and the critical examination of practice. Year two continues to build on the foundation of understanding and applies it to the practice of educational leaders in various settings. During the second year, students will develop their dissertation proposals and prepare for comprehensive examinations that must be passed before advancement to candidacy. The third year will focus on the primary research and writing of the dissertation under the guidance of the candidate’s faculty chair and dissertation committee.

If students need additional time after the third or fourth year to complete their dissertation, they must enroll in the Dissertation Extension course and pay the equivalent of one credit tuition to remain a student.
