Capella Tuition Cap – $30,000 Cap

Returning students may apply

To be considered a former student reapplying to the university and eligible for this offer, the student must not be currently enrolled in the university when reapplying, and must must meet one of the four following criteria:

• Graduate of a Capella certificate or a bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree program in the GuidedPath or FlexPath learning format.
• Inactive from the university for at least four consecutive quarters.
• Program of prior admittance to the university has been restaged or retired.
• Applying to a program at a different degree level than program of prior admittance.

Program enrollment requirements

• Tuition cap recipients who change learning formats from GuidedPath to FlexPath, or FlexPath to GuidedPath, within the same program retain eligibility to receive the tuition cap. If a recipient changes learning formats within the same program, the amount of tuition paid in the prior learning format will still apply and be included in the tuition paid toward the tuition cap in the new learning format.
• If a recipient graduates, is dismissed from the university, or is inactive from the university for four consecutive quarters or billing sessions for any reason, that student forfeits any future tuition waivers through the Capella Tuition Cap in that program.
• If a current Capella student changes programs to another program that doesn’t offer a Capella Tuition Cap, that student forfeits any future tuition waivers for which the student would have been eligible in the prior program.
• If a current Capella student changes programs to another program that offers a Capella Tuition Cap, or a former Capella student reapplies to the university in a program eligible for the Capella Tuition Cap, tuition amounts that the student paid in any prior programs will not be applied to the tuition cap threshold in the new program.

• The Capella Tuition Cap can be applied only to an eligible program in the GuidedPath or FlexPath learning format and only for students who began the program on an eligible start date. The tuition cap will only apply to tuition and, upon reaching the tuition cap threshold for the eligible program, the tuition cap will be applied to your Capella account during the third week of the quarter that the cap is reached.
• In the quarters leading up to the tuition cap threshold for the eligible program, tuition paid to Capella University for successfully completed courses, withdrawn courses, failed courses and charges for courses dropped before census, will apply as tuition paid toward the Capella Tuition Cap. The recipient is responsible for funding these charges leading up to the tuition cap threshold. Once tuition cap threshold is reached, the tuition for these course scenarios will be covered by Capella.
• Reversed charges are excluded in all cases and will not count toward the tuition cap threshold.
• Past-due balances accrued prior to reaching the tuition cap threshold will not be waived once threshold is reached. Once the tuition paid threshold is reached, the tuition cap will only cover tuition charges for amounts in excess of the tuition cap threshold. In some circumstances, recipients may complete their programs before they reach the tuition cap threshold in the eligible program. Under no circumstances will recipients be eligible for cash payment, tuition credits or other compensation for tuition paid below the tuition cap threshold.
