Many students have exited the University for various reasons and subsequently did not complete their bachelor’s degree. Throughout the years, former students have expressed a desire to return and complete their undergraduate degree, but in some cases aged account balances present a formidable obstacle. Oakwood University will offer financial amnesty or “debt forgiveness” to former students who have not attended Oakwood University in the past five years, and who desire to complete their bachelor’s degree at Oakwood University.
