� 8. Register for Classes (early). Students awarded Federal Direct Loans must be enrolled at least half time. Half-time enrollment is defined as six credits per semester for all undergraduate students. For graduate and first professional students, your program of study defines half-time status. Enrollment requirements for federal and state grants vary. Familiarize yourself with the enrollment requirements defined by your program office as well as by the financial aid programs through which you are receiving aid. Be sure to register as early as possible to ensure timely disbursement of your financial aid funds. Student Employment There are three main student employment programs: Federal Work-Study (FWS), Nova Student Employment (NSE), and Job Location and Development (JLD). The NSE and JLD programs provide jobs to students regardless of financial need. The FWS program is need-based and requires the completion of the FAFSA. Students awarded FWS may participate in the America Reads/ America Counts Programs through which students serve as reading or math tutors to elementary school children. For more information on NSU part-time and full-time student employment, visit www.nova.edu/financialaid/employment. Veterans Benefits Department of Veterans Affairs educational benefits are designed to provide eligible individuals with an opportunity for educational and career growth. Eligible veterans and their dependents should contact the veterans benefits administrator at (954) 262-7236; toll free 800-541-6682, ext. 27236, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., or visit the veterans benefits Web page at www.nova.edu/financialaid/veterans/. If you have any questions concerning eligibility, you may also contact the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) at 888-442-4551 or visit their Web site at http://www.gibill.va.gov. Standards of Progress for Veterans • A student receiving veterans benefits must maintain satisfactory progress. Students will be considered to be making satisfactory progress as long as they meet the academic standards set by their schools for retention in their degree programs. • A student who, at the end of any evaluation period, has not attained and maintained satisfactory progress will be certified, in a probationary status, for only one additional evaluation period. If the student does not attain and maintain satisfactory progress by the end of the probationary period (one evaluation period), the student’s Veterans Affairs (VA) educational benefits will be terminated for unsatisfactory progress. • A student whose VA educational benefits have been terminated for unsatisfactory progress may petition the school to be recertified after one evaluation period has elapsed. To initiate the petition process, students should contact the Office of Student Financial Assistance veterans benefits administrator at 800-541-6682, ext. 27236. The school may recertify the student for VA educational benefits only if there is a reasonable likelihood that the student would be able to attain and maintain satisfactory progress for the remainder of the program. • For VA payment of benefits purposes, an I (Incomplete) designation for a course must be converted to a credit grade counting toward graduation, or a failing grade, by the end of one calendar year, unless permission for a delay is granted by the academic dean for that program. NSU Student Handbook 2011–2012 71
Grade/Progress Reports for Students Receiving Veterans Benefits • Each VA student will be provided a grade/progress report at the end of every evaluation period (e.g., term, semester). A copy of each report will be placed in the student’s permanent file maintained by the school. The university periodically furnishes each student with a working transcript that shows current status of grades and earned semester hours for all courses completed and/or attempted, plus grades for courses in which the student is currently enrolled. Conduct Policy for Students Receiving Veterans Benefits • All VA students are expected to comply with the legal and ethical standards of Nova Southeastern University. Academic dishonesty and/or nonacademic misconduct will result in disciplinary action. Specific instances of misconduct include, but are not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, knowingly furnishing false information to the institution, and forging or altering institution documents and/or academic credentials. • The institution reserves the right to require a student to withdraw at any time for misconduct as described above. It also reserves the right to impose probation or suspension on a student whose conduct is determined to be unsatisfactory. • Students who feel their rights have been denied are entitled to due process. Students should refer to the Appeals and Grievance Procedures listed in this student handbook. The Office of the University Bursar The Office of the University Bursar is responsible for billing students, collecting and depositing payments, issuing refunds from excess financial aid funds, and verifying students’ eligibility for financial aid funds. Bursar’s Office Policies • By registering for courses at Nova Southeastern University, the student accepts financial responsibility for payment. The student is responsible for the full balance on the account plus any additional costs that may be incurred by the university in the collection of these debts. • Payment is due in full at the time of registration. NSU ebills are sent the middle of each month. However, to avoid late charges, students should not wait for their billing statement to pay their tuition and fees. • A student will not be able to register for future semesters until all outstanding balances from previous semesters have been paid in full. If a student has a balance 30 days after the start of the semester, a hold and a $100 late fee will be placed on his or her account. This hold stops all student services, including, but not limited to, access to the University RecPlex and future registrations. It will remain on the student’s account until the balance has been paid in full. Method of Payment NSU accepts Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Check payments include traveler’s checks, cashier’s checks, personal checks, and money orders. International checks must be in U.S. funds only and drawn on a U.S. bank. Wire transfers are accepted. Electronic check and credit card payments can also be made through NSU eBill. Credit card authorization forms can be downloaded from the Bursar’s Web site at www.nova.edu/bursar/forms/ cc_authorization.pdf and faxed to (954) 262-2473. 72 NSU Student Handbook 2011–2012
