Veterans Veterans, dependents of veterans, and other military personnel may apply to receive educational assistance from the Veterans Administration while enrolled at Ocean County College. All new students should contact the Veterans’ Compliance Officer in the Financial Aid Office prior to enrolling in classes to certify eligibility and VA educational benefits. Once VA eligibility is determined, all new students should contact the Veterans’ Coordinator in the Academic Advising Office. New and current students will attend a Veterans’ Group Advising session each semester to discuss degree and course selection, career and transfer goals, and graduation requirements. Students must enroll in a degree program or Approved Certificate program. Certificate programs are limited and must be verified for benefits. Students may take certain courses for transfer to a degree at another college if written approval is obtained from the transfer institution. VA benefits are paid only for courses that are required for the completion of the student’s degree program. Student must make satisfactory academic progress in order to maintain eligibility for VA educational benefits. VA processing takes about six to eight weeks. Veterans should contact the Financial Aid Office regarding other aid available from the State of New Jersey. Ocean County College Foundation Scholarship Opportunities The Ocean County College Foundation is a private nonprofit organization dedicated to the growth and development of the college through scholarships, endowments, and capital and special projects. The Foundation supports the efforts of Ocean County College to make higher education accessible to all Ocean County residents and provides students opportunities to continue higher education while discovering and exploring the wealth of possibilities around them. The Ocean County College Foundation is celebrating forty-six years of fund-raising success supporting the efforts of Ocean County College. Since its inception in 1965, the Foundation has awarded over $7 million in scholarships, awards and special projects working in alliance with community friends and business leaders. A volunteer Board of Trustees governs the Ocean County College Foundation, which is composed of members representing Ocean County’s business, professional, corporate and community leaders. The Foundation has been granted tax-exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service and is a 501(c) 3 organization. For scholarship applications or additional information, call the Foundation office at 732-255-0492 or visit www.ocean.edu/foundation.htm. Methods of Payment Payment in Full All tuition and fees must be paid at the time of registration. Checks or money orders are acceptable if made payable to Ocean County College. Checks or money orders must include the student’s name and his or her social security number or student I.D. number. The college also accepts cash payment. VISA, MASTERCARD, AMEX and DISCOVER are also accepted in person, by telephone and on the web. A charge of $25 will be assessed for all checks issued to the college and not paid upon presentation to the bank. Once a personal check is returned by a bank to the college it will not be re-deposited nor will the college accept another personal check in its place. Instead, payment must be made in cash or by certified check or money order. Once payment has been made, the check cannot be returned to the student if the student changes his or her mind about attending. Likewise, the student should not process a stop payment order at his or her bank. The college will treat a stop payment as a returned check and will apply the $25 returned check charge. Instead, the student should go to the Office of Registration and Records and process a drop form. The college will in turn generate a refund check in the appropriate amount. 24 Expenses & Financial Information Ocean County College 2013-2014
Monthly Payment Plan Payment to OCC for tuition and fees is normally required to be paid in full at the time of registration. However, we recognize that making payment in full before the semester begins can cause an economic hardship for many students. To remedy this situation, we provide the OCC Tuition Payment Plan (TPP). More information regarding the payment plan is available on the web or at the Cashier's office. Brochures can be obtained from the following offices: Cashier's, Admissions, Advising, Financial Aid, or Student Life and are available for download at www.ocean.edu/admissions/index.htm Refunds & ADMISSIONS Students who officially withdraw from courses may be eligible for a percentage refund of tuition and certain fees. Students must go to the Admissions & Records Office and complete a drop form, in person. Failing to attend class will not relieve you of your financial obligation to the college, even if you have not yet paid your full tuition bill. Completing the drop form according to the schedule below will eliminate or reduce your financial obligation. Students receiving Financial Aid must complete 60% of the semester in order to be entitled to 100% of their Financial Aid Funds awarded for the semester. Withdrawals occurring prior to 60% completion date will result in the recalculation of aid eligibility and the return of ineligible aid to Federal or State agencies. This may result in the student owing a balance to the school. It is the responsibility of the student to officially withdraw from classes during the appropriate refund periods if the student is to receive a REFUND OR CREDIT. Percentages are applied against tuition and fee charges for registered courses. The resulting amount will then be compared to any student payments that may have been made with the difference being the amount of the refund due to the student or the balance still owed to the college. No refund will be given for the following fees: Registration, Tuition Deposit, Certificate, Graduation, or Tuition Payment Plan. Official date of withdrawal will be the date the Admissions and Records Office receives the completed withdrawal form with all required signatures. Refund percentages are as follows: • Class cancelled by the college: 100% • Withdrawal prior to the first official day of the semester or term: 100% • Withdrawal between the first official day of the semester or term, up to and including the official attendance census date of the semester or term (10 th day of a semester or approximately the 5 th day of a term; check your bill schedule or ask the Admissions & Records Office for specific dates): 50% • Withdrawal after the official attendance census date of the semester or term: None If a student fails to withdraw from a specific Term prior to the beginning of that Term and does not attend classes at all for that Term, all eligibility for that Term is rescinded. Student charges and refunds will be calculated according to the policy as listed under "Refunds". The exact refund dates for each semester or term are printed on the bill/schedule received by every student at the time of registration. FAILURE TO BE AWARE OF THESE DATES IS NOT GROUNDS FOR A REFUND. Occasionally, extraordinary circumstances require Ocean County College to make an exception to the above refund period policy, in which case a REFUND OR CREDIT toward another semester may be issued. Substitution of faculty is not grounds for a refund. It is the policy of Ocean County College to make these exceptions ONLY under one of the following circumstances: 1. Medical emergency or condition, documented by a medical doctor, which prevents the student from completing the semester. The medical condition must occur after the start of the semester; pre-existing medical issues are not grounds for a refund. Medical refunds can only be pursued during the first four weeks of the semester. 2. Military orders indicating a student has been called to active duty and will not be able to complete the current semester. 3. Evidence that the student was incorrectly advised or placed in the wrong class by a staff member at Ocean County College. Additionally, all appeals must be received during the semester in question. Late appeals will not be considered. If your reason for requesting a refund falls into one of these categories, you may write a letter of appeal, including supporting documentation, to: Director of Registration & Records Refund Appeals Committee Ocean County College College Drive PO Box 2001 Toms River, NJ 08754-2001 You will be notified in writing of the finding of the committee after the merits of your case are reviewed. 732-255-0400 • www.ocean.edu Expenses & Financial Information 25
