To receive financial aid checks you must have a valid picture ID. If you are receiving scholarships, a copy of the letter/letters stating the amount awarded must be submitted to the Student Financial Services when making payment arrangements. Any remaining balance after expected financial aid is determined, is due the first week of classes. Please contact the Student Financial Services Office for any questions - 907-564-8341 or sfs@alaskapacific.edu.

Employer Reimbursements

If your employer reimburses you for educational expenses, a letter from your employer stating the amount and terms of the agreement must be submitted to the Student Financial Services Office annually.
You must be a continuing APU student with a consistent payment history.
There must be a letter from your employer stating that they will pay a specific amount toward your education on file in the Student Financial Services Office.
A Deferred Payment Plan/Promissory Note form must be completed each semester with a due date of two weeks after grades have been issued.
If for any reason your employer decides not to reimburse you for your tuition it is imperative the student realize they are ultimately responsible for the entire balance.
A late payment fee is $50.00 plus any applicable interest or collection fees which will be assessed on any overdue accounts

Emergency Student Loan

If a student has Financial Aid forthcoming, the student may borrow up to $1,000 against the pending aid (provided expected tuition and fees will still be covered once aid is received). If a student has already been disbursed the financial aid, or does not have financial aid forthcoming, a student may borrow up to $350. The application process begins with the Dean of Students Office.

Special Consideration of Financial Policy

It is important to note that although a student may have been granted a Request for Special Consideration of Academic Policy or In- Progress, etc., a separate Request for Special Consideration of Financial Policy is required to address waiver of any tuition and fees still due. Instructors, Academic Advisors, etc., may make a recommendation regarding waiver of fees associated with waiver of academic policy or in-progress work; however, the applicable financial policy must be addressed separately. These forms are initiated in the Business Office.

Contact the Student Financial Services Office with any payment questions at 907-564-8341, toll free 1-800-252-7528 and ask for the Student Financial Services office or by email: sfs@alaskapacific.edu.
