7111-RoaneStCommColl 6/16/06 2:58 PM Page 72 Business Information 72 ROANE STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE Special Exceptions – Some Community Services non-credit courses, conferences, workshops, or seminars may have special deadlines and/or requirements established for registration or refunds. Registrants should check all literature received on the activity for exceptions to the general policies. Centers for Training Refund Policy – The Centers for Training and Development (CTD) consist of three “Centers” within Roane State’s Continuing Education division, the Center for Business and Industry, the Center for Computer Training and Professional Development and the Center for Health Sciences. CTD strives for “Excellent Customer Service” and will work to ensure this happens by offering credible, timely courses led by field expert consultants. Our goal is to make lifelong learning exciting and worth your investment of both time and money. To do this we design our classes to “make” with a small number of participants and therefore it is critical that we know the commitment of each course registration. Our Refund Policy serves participants by providing a 100% refund when CTD personnel are notified of a cancellation within 48 hours of the event, workshop, course, etc. It also serves the participants in the class by letting CTD decide two days in advance if the class will “make” or not. BOOKS AND SUPPLIES The cost of books and supplies will vary from one program to another. The Bookstore sells both new and used books. Students are encouraged to take advantage of savings which result when purchasing used books. The estimated cost of books and supplies is $250-$400 per semester. The College Bookstore will buy back used books in good usable condition in quantities limited to the anticipated needs for ensuing semesters. Book buy back periods are announced at the end of each semester. Students selling books back to the bookstore will be required to furnish a Roane State Community College ID card. CHECK CASHING/ACCEPTANCE POLICY Both the Bookstore and the Business Office provide a free check cashing service. Personal checks may be cashed for any amount up to $10 for students and up to $20 for faculty/staff. However, 1) only one personal check per day may be cashed, 2) two party checks will not be accepted, 3) student checks will not be cashed by either the Business Office or the Bookstore anytime during the final two weeks of the semester and 4) a validated ID card is required. A $20 fine will be levied on all “returned checks.” The return of a third check will result in the person’s name being placed on the “no check list” and forfeiture of check cashing privileges. If a check written for payment of a student’s maintenance fee is returned, the student has (10) days in which to make restitution to the college via payment by cash, certified check, cashier’s check, or postal money order. Failure to make such restitution will result in immediate disenrollment. Suspension from classes could also result from checks returned on the purchase of books or payment of other fees. Until all financial obligations are satisfied, the student becomes ineligible for all benefits and services provided by the college such as receiving grades, receiving or sending transcripts, registering, and graduating. The college reserves the right to refuse to cash any check. Appeals concerning the cashing of checks may be made to the Vice President for Financial Services.
7111-RoaneStCommColl 6/16/06 2:58 PM Page 73 ROANE STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE 73 FINANCIAL AID (865) 882-4545 The financial aid program at Roane State Community College is designed to aid students who would find it difficult or impossible to attend college without financial assistance. Roane State offers a comprehensive program of financial aid in the form of scholarships, work study, grants and loans. Major emphasis is placed upon financial need, academic achievement, character, and promise of future success. The basis for determining financial need is the result of an analysis of the parents’ and/or student’s resources as provided by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This application is available in most high schools and on all RSCC campuses. It is recommended that students access the form online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Eligibility for financial aid is based on financial need, availability of funds and ability to maintain satisfactory progress. To qualify a student must: 1. Submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid to determine financial need. 2. Submit verifying documents if requested by the Financial Aid Office. 3. Be admitted to attend or currently attending Roane State in an approved degree or certificate program. 4. Meet Roane State’s satisfactory progress standards on page 74. Roane State encourages students to apply early for financial aid. April 1 is the priority deadline for applying for the fall semester. Applications received by that date will be given first consideration in the allocation of financial aid funds. Applications received after April 1 will be accepted and awards made to eligible students on a first come, first serve basis as long as funds are available. Financial Aid files completed by July 1 will be processed by the beginning of fall term. All others will be processed by date order. Although Roane State participates in the electronic correction of financial aid applications, we do not want to encourage students to wait until the last minute to file; therefore, initial applications received within the week prior to official registration will be processed only as time allows. These students may be required to pay for tuition and fees, then be reimbursed if they qualify for financial assistance at a later date. FEDERAL PELL GRANTS Federal Pell Grants are an entitlement program made available through the Title IV Student Financial Aid Programs and funded by tax dollars. Students should apply early through the FAFSA and make the Federal Pell Grant the primary source of financial aid since all other sources of assistance are based upon this eligibility. FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANT (FSEOG) AND FEDERAL WORK-STUDY PROGRAM (FWS) As part of the federally funded Campus-based Programs of Title IV, students may be considered for these additional funds after eligibility for the Federal Pell Grant has been determined. These programs have limited funding and application must be made by the specified priority date of April 1. Awards from these programs are made in the fall semester of each year, on a first come, first serve basis. If a student wants to be considered for the work-study program, he/she must answer “yes” to that question on the FAFSA. Business Information
