Dear Student/Parent,

Welcome and congratulations on your decision to attend South University - Online! The Student Financial Services
Department (SFSD) is excited to go through your Student Financial Plan to show you what your options are as you
plan your resources through your enrollment.

What Is The Student Financial Plan?

South University - Online provides a Student Financial Plan as an added benefit to our students/parents. This allows
students/parents to forecast direct charges and financial aid through the student's enrollment, which also helps the
family to better budget for current and future needs.

The Student Financial Plan is an estimate of direct charges and financial aid for the length of your program of study
based on the current financial aid and academic information we have received from you. As your financial aid and/or
academic situation changes, your Student Financial Plan may change as well. The Student Financial Plan will be
affected by such things as transfer credits, transitional/remedial classes needed, failed classes, reduced credit load,
withdrawal, housing costs, accurate and timely submission of appropriate applications, and other matters.

What Will I Learn During My Student Financial Planning Appointment?

This will be an opportunity for you/parents to ask questions, as well as the SFSD to provide information about the
following:

Ŷ<RXU6WXGHQW)LQDQFLDO3ODQ7KLVZLOOLQFOXGHDQHVWLPDWHGSURMHFWLRQRIGLUHFWFKDUJHVVWXGHQW

What Are Your Student Contribution Payment Options?

1. Cash contributions you can make towards your education.

2. Outside private grants and scholarships for which you, the student, may have been awarded. Students are
strongly encouraged to continue research efforts throughout enrollment to assist with reducing student loan debt.

3. For dependent students, a parent may apply for the Federal Parent PLUS Loan (credit based) and, if eligible,
cover any balance of cost due for each academic year.

Thank you for choosing South University - Online! We look forward to working with you as you strive towards your
educational success!

STUDENT FINANCIAL PLAN CONDITIONS

The Student Financial Plan is the result of the Financial Planning process completed by you and the Institute. This Plan is subject to the conditions and understandings described below.

I. Student Financial Plan Acknowledgment


A. The estimated cost of attendance and financial aid awards are based on the enrollment status you selected as well as other academic and financial information provided to the
school as of the date of this estimated award letter. Your eligibility for financial aid is based on the accuracy of the information provided by you and your parent(s), if applicable.
We have assumed that your eligibility will not change for each aid fund but it may, based on matters outside of our control; accordingly we do not guarantee the financial aid set
forth on the Student Financial Plan. Your financial aid awards may change or be voided if you do not meet, or continue to meet all requirements for each specific aid type.
Disbursement requirements are dictated by the aid program regulations or policies.
B. Payment of these financial aid awards and the Plan are conditional upon your maintaining satisfactory academic progress in accordance with school policy, appropriations by
Congress or State legislature, and will not be paid until prior defaults are resolved, if any. If we do not receive any or some of the financial assistance set forth in this plan, you
understand you will be responsible for payment of any amounts not received. If we do not receive any of the financial assistance set forth in this Plan, you understand that you will
be responsible for payment of any amounts not received.
C. The Plan has been developed assuming that you timely and accurately submit all financial aid related materials and continue to do so through the program.
D. Increasing or decreasing your registered classes may alter the amount of financial aid for which you may be eligible to receive from the award programs; these amounts are
based on federal, state, agency and school mandated regulations and policies.
E. You may be extended credit by the Institute during periods when financial aid application materials are still in process beyond the starting date of a term, and/or when deferred
payment plans are approved. Should you withdraw from the program for any reason prior to the disbursement of these funds, you are responsible for any account balance
remaining.
F. If you withdraw/graduate from school, and have made all agreed-upon monthly plan payments, you may still owe a balance (funds) to the school since credit may have been
extended to you. The school reserves the right to withhold the release of your transcript and/or diploma at any time during the repayment period that you are not in compliance
with all terms of this plan.
G. Under the federally mandated Return to Title IV Federal Formula and/or the school/state refund formula, if you withdraw from school, some financial aid funds may need to be
returned to the source. This could result in you owing the Institution some funds. Please see your Enrollment Agreement for details.
H. For a list of the current federal student loan interest rates and estimated monthly and total repayment amounts, please refer to the school's Financial Aid Brochure
(https://content.edmc.edu/assets/documents/su/suo-financial-aid-brochure.pdf) and Student Consumer Information (https://www.southuniversity.edu/online/student-consumer-
information#financial-aid) within the Financial Aid Facts section.
I. If we obtain written authorization from you or your parent, as applicable, we may use you or your parent's Federal aid program funds to pay for other educational charges such as,
but not limited to, parking or transportation fees, insurance and equipment rental fees, and other charges that are included in the authorization and hold on behalf of you or your
parent any Federal aid program funds that would otherwise be paid directly to you or your parent. Please contact your student financial services advisor regarding this
authorization.
J. For additional information regarding how financial aid is paid, maintaining eligibility, types and descriptions, as well as general terms and conditions, please contact your student
financial services advisor directly or refer to our Student Consumer Information (https://www.southuniversity.edu/online/student-consumer-information#financial-aid) within the
Financial Aid Facts section and the Financial Aid Brochure (https://content.edmc.edu/assets/documents/su/suo-financial-aid-brochure.pdf).
K. This estimated award letter has been made contingent upon the availability of these funds. We reserve the right to adjust your financial aid award(s) if there is any change in your
enrollment selections, academic or financial status as described by federal and other agency regulations governing these programs. If you want to reduce or eliminate a loan
disbursement, follow the deadlines and procedures on the Right to Cancel notices. If you want to increase, reduce or eliminate the loan amounts on this award letter, you will
need to discuss other payment arrangements by contacting your student financial services advisor directly. If you reduce or eliminate any of the loan financial aid, you will still be
responsible for all tuition and fees billed to your account. Your loan aid will be credited to your student account within three business days of our receipt of those funds.
L. You may also apply for any available private alternative education loan that meets your needs. These loans are offered by private lending organizations and are not subsidized by
a government agency. These lenders reserve the right to choose the schools and borrowers that they will approve, and borrowers must apply annually. Alternative education
loans are not to be used as a substitution for federal financial aid loans. Alternative education loans are intended to provide additional funding for your education after all federal
loans are sought. For more information about these loan options, please refer to our Student Consumer Information (https://www.southuniversity.edu/online/student-consumer-
information#financial-aid) within the Financial Aid Facts section. If awarded an alternative loan, the signatories understand that their credit report and a credit evaluation will need
to be obtained. Examples of forms that you will be required to complete for private or for school financing may be found in our Student Consumer Information
(https://ifap.ed.gov/eannouncements/attachments/072716PrivateEducationLoanApplicantSelfCertificationForm.doc).
M. For diploma and certificate academic programs, please visit the school's Gainful Employment webpage at (https://www.southuniversity.edu/programs-info) for more information
regarding total tuition and fees for the program, on-time graduation rates, graduate placement success, median debt concerning the program, and the names of the occupations
for which the program prepares students accompanied by links to a federal government website which contains occupational profiles and potential income sometime after
graduation. We do not guarantee placement or salary.
N. Many courses have a Digital (Electronic) Textbook charge, unless you opt out, which includes the required electronic textbook for the courses made available to you on-line. As

James Whitten - 2046071609 Page 7


equipment needs can change, we will seperately update you on computer/laptop needs and technology needs and costs (costs are on the Enrollment Agreement).
O. Students who are Title IV eligible and who have an excess of Title IV funding will receive their credit balance amount, for the term in question, within the later of fourteen (14)
calendar days of the start of the term or fourteen (14) calendar days of the date the financial aid credit balance appears on their student account.
You are required to read all applications and comply with all rules for your financial aid awards. If you have any questions, please contact your Financial Advisor.
II. Non-Payment/Default
This Plan has extended credit to you in order to provide you with the convenience of paying your Balance of Cost through periodic payments. The Institute reserves the right to
withdraw extension of credit for any reason of non-payment or default of such payments. Non-payment of account may result in additional collection costs.
III. If applicable under your Enrollment Agreement, you may be charged interest on any outstanding balance on your account.
IV. If you are awarded a PLUS loan, it is understood that the PLUS loan must be applied for at least annually and that it is contingent on your credit history.

Special Note to Loan Recipients: If you need to borrow, borrow responsibly. Within seven days of the date your account is credited with a loan disbursement, a Right to Cancel
notice will be sent to your last recorded address in our system. Please see the Registrar if you need to update your mailing address.

If I am otherwise eligible, I understand the maximum annual loan amount is listed on the Summary of Annual and Aggregate Direct Loan Limits table included in this estimated
award letter. I have been counseled concerning loan debt and I would like to request less than the annual amount in order to reduce the amount of Direct Loan debt I am
incurring while enrolled in the program. I understand I can rescind this authorization at any time by meeting with or notifying by email or by letter the school's financial aid
office, but I also understand my rescission may not be retroactively available for prior loan periods or award years. I have reviewed this Student Financial Plan and all of its
disclosure pages in their entirety.

AT A MINIMUM, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALSO REVIEWED OUR CATALOG, THE ENROLLMENT AGREEMENT, ALL STUDENT CONSUMER INFORMATION AND, IF
APPLICABLE, DIPLOMA AND CERTIFICATE GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT DISCLOSURES.

Summary of Federal Financial Aid Award Definitions and Disbursement Schedule

Federal Pell Grant is a Federal grant and does not require repayment. The Federal Pell Grant is awarded based on financial need. The credit is automatic, as long as your financial paperwork is complete, you remain
eligible for aid, and you officially register for classes each term.

Federal Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant (IASG) is a Federal grant and does not require repayment. The Federal IASG grant is essentially a non-need-based Pell grant. The payment or credit procedures for the
Federal IASG grant are the same as those for the Federal Pell Grant (above).

Federal SEOG (Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant) is a Federal grant and does not require repayment. The Federal SEOG grant is awarded based on exceptional financial need. The payment or credit
procedures for the Federal SEOG grant are the same as those for the Federal Pell Grant and Federal IASG grant (above). There is a limited amount of Federal SEOG available.

Federal Perkins Loan is a Federal loan program that does require repayment. The Federal Perkins Loan is awarded based on exceptional financial need. The payment or credit procedures for the Federal Perkins Loan
are similar to those for the Federal Pell Grant, Federal IASG grant and Federal SEOG grant (above). However, a signed promissory note and a complete personal data sheet are required before these loan funds may be
credited to your account. There is a limited amount of Federal Perkins available. Congress may phase out Perkins Loans for new recipients.

Subsidized Direct Loan (Federal Subsidized Direct Loan) is a Federal loan program that requires repayment. The Federal Subsidized Direct Loan is awarded based on financial need. The U.S. Department of Education,
through the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program, administers this program. The EFT loan funds are automatically credited to your tuition account within the time frame referenced below. For first-time borrowers,
these loan funds cannot be credited to your account until you are in school for thirty (30) calendar days. Dependent and independent undergraduate students are eligible for these loan funds, based on need, of up to
$3,500 in the first year, $4,500 in the second year, and $5,500 in the third year and beyond. If you do not have need up to these limits, you may be eligible for unsubsidized loan funds, as described below. See Summary
of Annual and Aggregate Direct Loan Limits chart on the Frequently Asked Questions page of this estimated award letter.

Unsubsidized Direct Loan (Federal Unsubsidized Direct Loan) is a Federal loan program that does require repayment. The Federal Unsubsidized Direct Loan is not awarded based on financial need. The U.S. Department
of Education, through the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program, administers this program. The EFT loan funds are automatically credited to your tuition account within the time frame referenced below. For first-
time borrowers, these loan funds cannot be credited to your account until you are in school for thirty (30) calendar days. See Summary of Annual and Aggregate Direct Loan Limits chart on the Frequently Asked
Questions page of this estimated award letter.

Parent and Graduate PLUS Loan (Federal Direct Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students Loan and Federal Direct Graduate Loan) is a Federal loan program that does require repayment. The Federal PLUS Loan is
awarded to parents of dependent students and to graduate and professional degree students. The U.S. Department of Education, through the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program, administers this program. This
loan is guaranteed based on the credit worthiness of the borrower. If you or your parents are eligible, the student's account is credited by EFT as stated above for the William D. Ford Federal Direct Subsidized and
Unsubsidized Loans. If approved, PLUS loans are available for an amount up to the Cost of Attendance less all other financial aid. The interest on this loan begins to accrue quarterly after all disbursements of the loan
have been released. If awarded a Federal PLUS Loan, the signatories understand that their credit report and a credit evaluation will need to be obtained.

Federal Work Study Program offers a job to students that have financial need, but it does not require priority for students who have exceptional financial need. There are a limited amount of Federal Work Study positions
available. Payment is disbursed directly to the student based on the school's normal two-week payroll cycle, after the student has performed the work. Participants in the Federal Work Study program will receive a
separate notification.

Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is determined by filing the FAFSA and is used as a guide to determine your aid eligibility. It represents the amount that you or your family, if dependent for financial aid purposes, is
reasonably expected to contribute to your postsecondary educational expenses. Your actual contribution may be different.

Your estimated award letter provides you with a schedule of aid payments from each aid program you use; except for Federal work study, which is paid to you as earned. These payments are usually made in equal
installments for each term in each academic year. Once all the required paperwork is accurately completed, submitted on time and you start school, your financial aid is automatically credited to your account usually at the
beginning of each term. For first-time loan borrowers, loan funds cannot be credited to your account until you are in school for thirty (30) calendar days. Most other aid is also sent to the school directly. If you later become
eligible for aid, we anticipate crediting your account within seven (7) calendar days when you become eligible. If you cease attending some or all of your classes before aid is paid, you may lose access to some or all of
the aid awarded.

Note: These annual loan limit amounts are the maximum amounts you can borrow in both subsidized and unsubsidized loans in an academic year. You can have one type of loan or a
combination of both. Because you cannot borrow more than your cost of attendance minus any other financial aid you'll get, you may receive less than the annual maximum amounts.
The maximum annual and total loan limits include any Stafford Loans you may have received under the FFEL Program as well as any Federal loans borrowed at other post-secondary institutions.
