D O Ñ A A N A C O M M U N I T Y C O L L E G E 10 and noncredit courses are treated as completely separate sessions. Check the Community Education program announcements for the specific noncredit course fees and registration instructions. Penalties A late registration or late payment penalty of $25 for all students for the first day and $5 each additional day will be assessed if registration and payment or arrangements for payment have not been completed by the deadline as shown on the DACC calendar. Failure to make payment arrangements at the time of registration will result in disenrollment and/or additional liability. Dishonored Checks/Credit Cards DACC/NMSU charges a penalty on all dishonored cash instruments. Personal checks will not be accepted from students who have had a previously dishonored check. Tuition Adjustments, Refunds, and Forfeitures Any student officially dropping or withdrawing from a course or courses during a semester or summer session may receive tuition and fee adjustments as outlined in the current class schedule. No tuition adjustments will be made on classes of less than five weeks’ duration. Non-attendance does not constitute official course drop or withdrawal. All charges due to the DACC/NMSU must be paid before refunds will be permitted. In cases of academic or disciplinary suspension, eligibility for tuition adjustments will depend on the conditions of the suspension and will be entirely at the option of the institution. Should unforeseen circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Doña Ana Community College or New Mexico State University result in curtailing classes, closing residence facilities, or otherwise withdrawing services that are a normal function of the institution, refunds of any nature will be at the discretion of the college/university administration. Residence hall rentals and dining hall charges may be refunded in accordance with schedules adopted by these departments. Health and Activity Fee DACC students may, at their option, pay a health/activity fee that gives them access to the swimming pools, athletic events, dances, concerts, plays, intramurals, films, and services at the Health Center (see section titled, “Student Services on the NMSU Campus”). The fee depends on the ratio of DACC and NMSU credits a student carries. Student Health Insurance All students may purchase a health insurance policy to supplement the Student Health Center service, if they have already paid the health fee. Students may purchase dependent coverage under this commercial insurance company policy; however, dependents of students are not eligible to use the Student Health Center. This insurance must be purchased by the last date set for late registration at the DACC Cashiers Office, room DAMA-118, or at the NMSU Business Office. Supplemental health insurance is available only to students who opt for the Student Health Center service. Payments on Toolboxes and Personal Materials (Technical Studies programs) Students enrolled in the Automotive Technology, Welding Technology, and Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration programs will be issued tools during the first week of classes. One-third of the total cost of the toolboxes must be paid at the time the tools are issued. The remaining toolbox balance must be paid before the end of the second semester. Failure to pay the balance will result in exclusion from registration for the third semester. Down payment and subsequent payments for toolboxes must be made at the DACC Cashiers Office, room DAMA-118. The student is responsible for full payment regardless of withdrawal from the community college. Return of toolboxes will not constitute payment, as used tools cannot be reissued. Housing Housing is available to community college students on the same basis as it is for other New Mexico State University students. Rates and other information may be obtained by contacting Housing and Dining Services located in the Educational Services Department at New Mexico State University (telephone, 646-3202; mailing address, Housing and Dining Services, New Mexico State University, MSC-3BB, P.O.

The DACC Snack Bar offers a variety of snacks; Monday–Thursday, 8:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M.; Friday, 8:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M.; Saturday, 8:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. Financial Aid As an open-door institution, DACC is committed to providing equal educational opportunities to students regardless of personal, economic, or social conditions. This commitment means helping students overcome financial barriers in getting the education they seek. Each year, DACC provides aid to many students who would otherwise be unable to attend the college because of lack of funds. The college, in conjunction with the NMSU Financial Aid Office, offers an extensive array of grants, scholarships, and loans. Grants are awarded on the basis of financial need only, while scholarships may be awarded according to academic ability, as well as financial need. Applicants desiring financial assistance should apply first for federal or state aid programs. Applications for state and federal aid are evaluated by the Financial Aid Office on the basis of published policies and procedures. Applicants are encouraged to apply by March 1 of each year in order to allow sufficient time for aid to be awarded for the Fall semester. All students must maintain satisfactory academic progress to continue receiving aid. Eligibility Eligibility for most financial aid is based on an analysis of the parents’ and/or student’s ability to pay the cost of a school year. Ability to pay is determined through the application process. Most financial aid programs have the following eligibility requirements: • Only those who are U.S. citizens, or are eligible noncitizens with a valid Social Security number. • Applicants must have a high school diploma or a GED, or must have passed an independently administered test approved by the U.S. Department of Education (Ability-to-Benefit).
• Applicants should be enrolled at least half time (six hours) for most federal aid programs and scholarships. Students enrolled less than half time must visit with Financial Aid staff. • Applicants must be in good academic standing and maintain satisfactory academic progress. • Applicants who are required to register with Selective Service must indicate that they have done so. • Applicants must verify that they do not owe a refund on a federal grant and that they are not in default on a federal student loan. • Applicants must be enrolled in an eligible program and be seeking a certificate or a degree. • Need must be clearly established for need-based financial assistance. • No applicants will be denied financial assistance on the basis of age, color, disability, gender, national origin, race, religion, or sexual orientation. Some scholarships and other forms of financial aid have individual eligibility requirements in addition to the general requirements. These are noted in the NMSU financial aid packet. Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy. Students receiving financial aid are expected to achieve a degree within a reasonable length of time. Eligibility for financial aid may be terminated if satisfactory academic progress is not demonstrated. Action by the student will be required for financial aid to be reconsidered. Most undergraduate students seeking their first associate degree have a maximum of 99 credits to receive their degree. Note: All credits are included in the limits, even if financial aid was not received while taking those credits. This would include all credits attempted at other schools. A student who has fewer than the maximum credits allowed when the term begins will be certified for aid for the term. Semester Review—Minimum Expectations for Retaining Financial Aid. Most undergraduate students receiving financial aid must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 to remain in good standing. Credit Hours Progression. Credit hour progression will require a student to complete a minimum of 66.6 percent of all attempted hours with passing grades. Summer hours and transfer hours will also be included in this calculation. Only courses receiving grades of A, B, C, D, and S will count as completed courses. Courses with all other grades, including I (incomplete), RR, W, U, and F, will not count toward progress (and may or may not be funded by financial aid). Retaining Eligibility for Financial Aid. All Students must continue to meet the requirements for eligibility that were necessary for them to receive an offer of assistance. This includes being admitted and completing courses in a degree program. Students cannot owe any refunds or be in default on previously received financial aid. All other criteria as defined by the rules and regulations of the institution, New Mexico State University, and the federal government must be met. Application Procedure DACC uses the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Contact one of the staff members in the Financial Aid Office, room DAMA- 115, to assist you in the completion of any one of these forms. Applications should be submitted by March 1 if you are applying for fall semester, or November 1 if you are applying for spring semester. These are priority application dates that will allow sufficient time for awarding aid prior to the semester in which you desire to enroll. Sources of Financial Aid Grants. The foundation for financial aid is the Federal Pell Grant, available to undergraduate students with documented financial need. The student may be eligible to receive other types of aid, including a Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant or Leveraging Education Assistance Partnership Program (LEAP) Grant. These grants are awarded to undergraduate students who show exceptional financial need. Typically, all three types of grants do not have to be repaid. Loans. Available to undergraduate students with financial need, Federal Perkins Loans are long-term, low-interest loans that must be repaid according to federal guidelines. Repayment begins nine months after graduation or after enrollment drops below six credits. Subsidized and unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans are long-term loans available to undergraduate students. Students receiving a subsidized or unsubsidized Federal Stafford loan or a Perkins loan, must complete a debt-management session before DACC/NMSU will issue a check. In addition, students must complete an exit interview upon graduation or withdrawal from DACC/NMSU. Repayment of a Stafford loan begins six months after graduation or six months after enrollment drops below six credits. The interest rate is variable but will not exceed 8.25 percent. More information will be available at the time the loan is made. Work-Study Programs. The Federal Work-Study Program provides employment opportunities for selected undergraduate students with demonstrated financial need. The New Mexico Work-Study Program also provides employment opportunities for students; however, only New Mexico residents are eligible to participate in the program. For more information on the U.S. Department of Education student aid programs, look on the Internet at http://studentaid.ed.gov/ students/publications/student_guide/index.html (for financial aid) or http://dacc.nmsu.edu/. Awards. All financial aid awards are based on information provided by the student and parents, availability of funds, and eligibility requirements. Any award may be revised based on changes in enrollment, cost of attendance, family contribution, or failure to meet satisfactory academic progress. Withdrawals or reductions in enrollment may affect an award or any future awards. Financial aid and scholarships may not pay for courses in which an I or RR grade is received, or for audited courses. Visit with the Financial Aid Office for specific disbursement requirements. Mini-session courses will be considered for payment only if registered in course by the last date to add a course in August or January. General Scholarships. Application eligibility criteria and application instructions for the scholarships that follow can be obtained online at the following Web address: http://dacc.nmsu.edu/serv/faid • DACC Institutional Scholarships.
