BILLING & FINANCIAL AID FAQ’s

Schedule of Fees

You can view the schedule of fees as a guide to determining educational expenses. Keep in mind that these direct costs are before any financial aid has been applied and may vary per student based on their individual situation. If you do not waive comprehensive health insurance you will have that charge reflected on your student ledger each term.

Please access your CAMS student portal where you can review your individual charges and pending financial aid. If you do not see any financial aid listed, you may have incomplete documents. Access your CAMS Student Portal and select ‘Document Tracking’ to see if you have any missing documents. Contact the Office of Financial Aid if you have questions.

Review Health Insurance Policy

Paul Quinn offers students an affordable student health benefit plan issued and administered by National General. All students enrolled are automatically enrolled in the Comprehensive Health Plan for the Academic Year but can apply for a waiver if they have their own coverage.

Paul Quinn College students who do not provide proof of their own health insurance prior to the term’s census date (posted in the Academic Calendar), each semester, will be automatically enrolled in the Paul Quinn College Student Health Insurance Plan, for which they will pay a fee. Paul Quinn College athletes must have the College’s insurance and do not have the option to waive coverage.

Comprehensive Health Insurance Waiver

  • Anyone wishing to OPT OUT of the Comprehensive Insurance Plan MUST complete and submit an accepted waiver by providing proof of insurance by the Census date of the term. With an approved waiver, you will only be billed for the MANDATORY TigerCare Health Services Plan.

What if my financial aid is not on my account?

If your financial eligibility is not reflected on your account, please verify you have completed the following processes:

  • Submitted my FAFSA or TASFA application with Paul Quinn’s School Code included: 003602.
  • Submitted requested verification documents and any supporting documentation.
  • Submitted my undergraduate lending documents: Entrance Counseling, Master Promissory Note, or loan acceptance forms (first-time borrowers).

If ineligible for federal financial assistance, please set up a payment arrangement with our Business Office. You may also make payments towards your overall account balance for the term under "My Ledger".

I expected additional funds that are not on my ledger.

Some funding is awarded on a rolling basis. This may include institutional scholarships which are finalized closer to Census date.

When does financial aid switch from 'Pending" to "posted"?

  • After Census date, fees and enrollment are finalized. At this time, we will review enrollment and make adjustments to your aid if you are not enrolled full-time. Once that review is complete, your financial aid will disburse/post to your account.
  • If your financial aid exceeds your direct costs, you will be issued a refund either via direct deposit or through a paper check, whcihever method you have set up.

When will i receive my refund check/direct deposit?

  • Refunds cannot be disbursed until funds are accepted by the College. After funds are received, your ledger will no longer list your Financial Aid funds as “Pending Aid”. Once you are in refund status, by law, we have up to 14 business days to process the return.
  • Refunds are processed one time per week, and checks are issued through the Bursar’s Office or mailed to the student's mailing address as shown on CAMS (must complete Employee Wage Release Form to be mailed). Please keep the local mailing address information current on the CAMS website to ensure delivery of all correspondence, including refund checks.
  • If the College has your Direct Deposit information on file, your funds will be sent to your bank by ACH.

I want to accept a loan, what do I do?

  • We have an active loan acceptance policy.
  • First-time borrowers must complete Master Promissory Note (MPN) and Entrance Counseling and on the Federal Student Aid website.
  • You can accept student loans on your CAMS portal by selecting 'My Financial Aid.' You can also review this guide for step-by-step instructions on how to view your offered aid and how to accept student loans.
  • If you'd like to reduce or adjust the loan amounts you will need to submit a Loan Adjustment Form to the Office of Financial Aid.

When is my payment due?

  • Payment due dates for each term are listed in your CAMS Student Portal once you have opted into the Payment Plan. When you log into CAMS, click “My Payment Plan.”
  • Balances on the Student account are billed according to the term while miscellaneous account charges are billed monthly if applicable.
  • Please contact the Business Office if you have questions about your bill: 214-379-5560.

Can you share information about my financial aid with my parents or spouse?

The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), protects personally identifiable information in student education records (such as the student’s name, address, financial records, and grades) from disclosure without the student’s signed, written consent, unless such consent is not required by law. Students are not required to authorize disclosure of information from their education records.

If you are the student, you can authorize Paul Quinn College to release all or specific information to individuals and/or an organization by submitting a FERPA Release Form to the Registrar at registrar@pqc.edu.

I have requests to submit verification documents, what does that mean?

  • Verification is the process to confirm that the data reported on your FAFSA form is accurate. If you're selected for verification, we will request additional documentation that supports the information you reported. Make sure to submit it as soon as you are able to or your aid may be delayed.

What are some common documents that requested for verification?

Most document requests will be sent through DocuSign. Some documents may include:

  • Dependent or Independent Household Form : Asks that you verify and list members of your household and number in college
  • Tax Information: If you did not use the IRS Data Retrieval, you may be required to submit either a signed copy of your 2019 tax return and W-2's OR IRS Tax Return Transcript and W-2's. We reccommend that if you can, you use the IRS Data Retrieval because it will save you time later on, reduces likelihood of errors and reduces the documents that you need to submit.
  • Texas Core Residency Questionnaire - Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board rule 21.25 requires each student applying to enroll at an institution to respond to a set of core residency questions for the purpose of determining the student's eligibility for classification as a resident.

How long after submitting my documents will I view my financial aid?

  • Documents are reviewed and processed in order received. Depending on when you submitted the documents and the time of the year, processing time will vary.

I was placed on financial aid suspension, what do i do?

Please visit our Satisfactory Academic Progress page for more detailed information.

My Financial Aid Situation Changed since 2019, what can I do?

For the 2021-2022 FAFSA uses 2019 tax year information to determine eligibility. We understand that financial situations change and want to be able to take into account your most accurate financial situation. If your financial situation has changed, please contact us to review your situation and go over next steps and required documentation.

Please note that if your EFC is 0 you are not eligible for a special circumstance review because you are already receiving the maximum amount of eligible federal aid.

Some situations eligible for review may include:

  • Loss of income
  • Reduction of income
  • Divorce or Legal Separation
  • Death of Student Parent or Spouse
  • One-time income (reported on 2019 tax return)
  • Loss of child support
