Class status is determined by the number of credits completed toward a degree, NOT by the number of semesters attended. Before a loan can be processed, applicants must have a needs analysis accomplished by completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid and providing the results to the Financial Aid Office. Parents, with the absence of an adverse credit rating, may borrow up to the cost of education less any financial aid received by the student. Satisfactory Academic Progress Students receiving financial aid must remain in good academic standing and must be making satisfactory academic progress toward the completion of their degree. Estimated Costs Budget planning for attendance at Christopher Newport University should consider both direct and indirect costs.
Direct charges are tuition and fees.
Indirect costs are the normal expenses for living. Estimated living expenses are discussed in detail in the CNU Financial Aid Guide. Additional Information Students interested in receiving financial aid are strongly encouraged to obtain a copy of the CNU Financial Aid Guide and read it thoroughly. The Guide is available in the Office of Financial Aid. Additional questions or information requests should be directed to the staff of the Office of Financial Aid.
