For summer 2011 the student MUST have a 2010/2011FAFSA and completed verification documents andPell eligible FAFSA on file at Chesapeake Collegebefore any consideration will be given prior to thepay-by-date of May 5th, 2011. All students areencouraged to complete the 2011/2012 FAFSA inorder to maximize the amount of aid eligible to receive.4. The Financial Aid Office will determine which ISIRwould permit the largest Pell Grant award and awardthe student accordingly.5. Students must be making satisfactory academic progress,therefore; no student who is currently on WARNING/PROBATION status will be eligible for a secondscheduled award.6. Students must earn 29 credits during the academic yearto show academic progression or acceleration. At leastone credit during the eligible term may apply towardsthe second year progression.7. Students enrolled in developmental credits will beconsidered to have met academic progression aslong as they pass the course(s) even though there areno credits to be earned as long as the total hours meetthe 29 credits required during the academic year.8. Awards are calculated the same way for summer as infall and spring, according to the Federal Pell GrantScheduled Payment Chart for the award year .9. Students must be admitted into a two-year degreeseeking program (One year certificate programs areINELIGIBLE for two Pell Grant awards in one year.)• Amount of scheduled award at prior institution.*We will round down any fractions.12. Remedial courses are eligible for an additional PellGrant award.13. Students should understand that additional Pell Grantawards will count towards the federal regulationgoverning an aggregate limit on Federal Pell Grant. Thestudents’ life-time aggregate limit is 900 percent of theirscheduled awards. The federal regulation limits PellGrant eligibility to nine scheduled awards and appliesonly to first-time Pell Grant recipients beginning in the2008/2009 school year.14. Federal aid will be disbursed the same way for all terms,after enrollment verification has been completedand the 20 percent point has passed. Funds aredisbursed the fourth week of class and refund checks(if a student is eligible) are mailed within 10 days ofdisbursement.Examples:Two Pell Grants in One Award Year – StudentAcademic Year Progression Example:Fall 2010 - Full-timePell Grant Award: $277515 credits earned50% of firstscheduled awardSpring 2011 - Full-timePell Grant Award: $277514 credits earned50% of firstscheduled award10.

Students should seekacademic advising before making such considerations.Return of Title IV Funds for StudentsWho Have WithdrawnThe Department of Education issued the final regulations governingthe return of Title IV funds when a student withdrawscompletely from a semester and was a recipient of federal financialaid. The burden is shared between the school and the studentto return Title IV funds to the United States Department ofEducation. The following information will explain the process inwhich the Office of Financial Aid will be handling the return offunds.Chesapeake College will be required to return federal fundswithin 45 days from:• Date the student officially withdraws,• Date the student is expelled, or• Date the school determines the unofficial date ofwithdrawal occurred.Return of funds can only take place if a student has attended atleast one class. Should a student not properly withdraw whenthey have not attended at least one class, the proof of burdenfalls on the student to prove they never attended. Studentsconsidered “no shows” will have their financial aid awards rescinded.Students who fail to officially withdraw will have theiraid prorated at the 50 percent point of the term. Any requestsfor refunds due to improper withdrawal are separate from theregulations governing federal aid and must be made within theacademic year to the Registrar. Any requests made after the academicyear has ended will be denied. For more information concerningChesapeake College’s Withdrawal Policy, please contactthe Registration Office.Formula for determining earned versus unearned Title IV aidExample:A student completes 50 percent of the period of enrollment.*• 50 percent of the Title IV aid is “earned” for that period.• 50 percent of the Title IV aid is “unearned” for that period.*Percentages are calculated to the fourth digit and rounded to thethird.How is the amount of Title IV aid earned calculated?The Financial Aid staff must determine how many calendar daysthe student completed during the period of enrollment. Scheduledbreaks at least five days in length are excluded. Once thenumber of days earned are determined, the total is then dividedby the total number of days within the period of enrollment. Theunearned portion is the difference between 100 percent and theearned portion. If the result is greater than 60 percent, regulationsrequire the use of 100 percent.What are the steps in determining the return of Title IV funds?1. Institutional charges for the period of enrollment arerecorded.2. The percentage of Title IV Aid earned is calculated.3. The percentage of Title IV Aid unearned is calculated.4. Calculate the amount of Title IV aid earned by the student.5. Calculate the amount of Title IV aid unearned by thestudent.31

Student Financial Assistance6. Subtract the amount of Title IV aid disbursed during theperiod of enrollment from the amount of Title IV aid earnedby the student.7. A negative result indicates that unearned Title IV fundsmust be returned.8. A positive result indicates that a disbursement is due.9. The amount to be returned is determined by subtracting theearned Title IV aid from the total amount of aid disbursedto the student.10. Institutional charges are multiplied by the percentage ofunearned Title IV aid from Step 3. Compare the results withthe amount of Title IV aid unearned. The lesser amount ofthe unearned Title IV aid is the amount the school isresponsible for returning.What is the order for the return of Title IV funds?1. Federal Perkins Loan2. Pell Grant3. Supplemental Grant4. Other Title IV programs excluding Federal Work StudyWhat is the student’s responsibility?The student’s responsibility is equal to the total amount of unearnedTitle IV aid minus the school’s responsibility.If the student’s portion of unearned aid is a loan, no action is necessary.The terms and conditions of repayment will take care of the repaymentof the loan.If the student’s portion is a grant, the student returns no more than 50percent of the amount received for the enrollment period.Grant overpayments must be reported to the National StudentLoan Data System (NSLDS)If a student is determined to be responsible for returning grantfunds, he/she has 30 days to pay the school the overpaymentor make satisfactory repayment arrangements with the BusinessOffice. If Chesapeake College is unable to collect, the student isreported to the NSLDS and loses eligibility for all Title IV aid unlessrepayment arrangements are made.What is required if a post-withdrawal disbursement isdetermined?The College will notify the student if a post-withdrawal disbursementis determined. The student has 14 days to respondas to whether they want the funds disbursed. Post-withdrawaldisbursements will be credited to unpaid charges only. If a lateresponse is received, the College will decide on a case-by-case basisany future disbursements.Case StudyMethod for Returning Title IV AidMax is a first year student at Chesapeake College living at homewith his parents.

Student Financial AssistanceFederal VerificationThe Department of Education selects financial aid applicationsat random for a process called verification. Chesapeake Collegeverifies ALL students selected by the Central ProcessingCenter who are eligible to receive aid based on funding levels seteach year. Students/parents who estimate income must correcthis/her FAFSA with accurate income once a tax form has beenfiled. Chesapeake College will not correct estimated income andwill consider the file incomplete until a corrected transaction isreceived. In addition, Chesapeake College has the right to requestdata for any information that appears incorrect or inconsistenteven if the file was not selected for verification.Each student will be required to complete a verification form andattach copies of signed federal tax documents for student, spouseand/or parent if determined a dependent student. Students/parents who utilize the IRS data retrieval may still be required.If a student or parent needs to request a tax transcript from theInternal Revenue Service, please call 1-800-829-1040. Please referto www.ed.gov/prog_info/SFA/StudentGuide for the federalregulation governing dependency. We will notify students bymail of all documents needed to complete the students file. It isnot uncommon to discover additional documents needed after afile has been considered complete during the process of verifying.Students will be notified in writing. The following data elementsmust be verified: adjusted gross income; U.S. income taxes paid;household size; number in college; untaxed income such as,child support, and untaxed portion of pensions, Make Work PayCredit. First-time Homebuyers Credit and the taxable portion ofsocial security.The deadline for receipt of all documents is May 1st for the Fallterm and December 1st for the Spring term. We will accept lateapplications and will notify students as they apply what documentsare outstanding. Incomplete files will not be reviewed orconsidered for any federal aid. Students who are in financial aidsuspension or in default of a federal student loan, will not be sentany request letters until they become eligible. Students meetingthe deadline must also pre-register before their file is consideredcomplete. The Financial Aid Office must know basic tax law suchas; who must file a federal tax form and correct filing status. Oncethe student has submitted all documents for completion, the FinancialAid Office will review the file and notify the student in writingby awarding the student or sending another status letter.On a case-by-case basis, a student’s incomplete file may be awardedpending documentation but only at the Director’s discretion.The award will be entered as ESTIMATED and funds will NOTbe disbursed until the documentation has been received. StudentsMUST provide all documents within 10 days of the request. Lateapplicants must provide all documentation before their LASTDATE OF ATTENDANCE. Any changes in eligibility as a resultof verification will be sent to students as REVISED award letters. Ifthe student fails to provide the necessary documentation, he/shewill be required to pay all charges incurred.On occasion a student’s file will be selected for verification afterfunds have been disbursed. Chesapeake College will notify thestudent of the documents required but will not disburse anyfuture funds until the verification process has been completed. Ifverification proves the student is no longer eligible for the fundsdisbursed, they will be required to repay those funds, except forearnings under the Federal Work-Study Program.What is CONFLICTING INFORMATION? This is the terminologyused when the student’s financial aid file is in conflict. A fewexamples would be dependent students who claim themselves ontheir federal taxes as do their parents, or no tax forms for a studentwho was required to file a 1040 with the IRS, or a student whocertifies they have a high school diploma but indicates on theiradmissions application they are working on their GED. Theseare all examples of conflicting information. All conflicts must beresolved BEFORE any financial aid can be awarded or disbursed.Become familiar with IRS regulations governing who must file atax form, disclose all scholarship awards, and do not put false ormisleading information on any official college documents are afew ways students can avoid conflicting information.Ability to BenefitStudents seeking federal financial aid must have a high schooldiploma, GED or meet the 6 semester credits earned before beingawarded federal aid. Students who do not meet the cut scores forAbility to Benefit based on federal financial aid regulations maybecome eligible by enrolling and completing 6 credits towardsan eligible degree or certificate. Students may not receive federalaid during this time. A student may transfer credits earned atanother institution but they must be credits obtained throughcourse completion not earned by testing out, life experience, AP orIB credits. Individuals with disabilities are eligible for special testingaccommodations who can provide documentation of disabilityPlease contact our Testing Department for more information.Default Management Plan for theFederal Perkins Loan Programat Chesapeake CollegeAs a small community college, our participation in the Federal PerkinsLoan program provides the necessary means to fund highereducation for many of our students. Students who are awardedand choose to accept this loan must be committed to repaying thisloan and abiding by all program requirements, such as; completingthe Entrance Interview. The student will sign a promissory note,promising to repay this federal debt, understand their rights andresponsibilities, complete a personal data sheet and take a quizbefore the funds will be disbursed.This federal student loan is repaid with an interest rate of fivepercent and payments begin after the student ceases attendanceor drops to less than half-time status. Chesapeake College valuesthis low interest federal loan program and wants to do everythingit can to preserve its integrity. The future is at risk if students donot adhere to their repayment schedules, consequently defaultingon their commitment to repay this federal loan. As a proactivemeasure to insure the viability of this loan program, ChesapeakeCollege has instituted a default management plan.33

Student Financial AssistanceThe United States Department of Education has the right to sanctionany school with a default rate of 50 percent or higher threeyears consecutively. As a pre-emptive measure, Chesapeake Collegehas instituted the following policies and procedures in aneffort to reduce our current default rate. In addition to meetingthe financial eligibility requirements and complete an EntranceInterview, students will have to meet the additional guidelineslisted below:1. All Federal Perkins Loan recipients must maintain a 2.5semester and cumulative grade point average and meetSatisfactory Academic Program requirements for attemptedcredits for any loan consideration or renewal.2. Students must provide a physical address in addition totheir post office box number on their college admissionsapplication as well as all entrance/exit documents.3. Students must have a declared major and have anacademic plan coordinated with their academic advisor.4. Students must meet the May 1st deadline as it provesthey understand the importance of deadlines.5. Students must meet with the Director of Financial Aidprior to signing their promissory note and at the end ofthe fall term before the pay-by-date for spring. Studentswill be advised to make appointments to fulfill thisrequirement. Failure to meet this requirement will resultin forfeiture of the Federal Perkins Loan.6. No loan funds will be disbursed if there is missinginformation on their Personal Data Sheets.7. Students will be required to utilize their campus e-mailaddress so that important reminders can be easilyaddressed to loan recipients.8. Students will complete a “test” after completing theirEntrance Interview, to review the information learnedand reinforce the importance of loan repayment anddefault prevention.9. Current recipients will be grandfathered if they do notmeet one or more of the above criteria at the discretionof the Director of Financial Aid.The primary reason students default on federally funded studentloans is not completing deferment forms. A deferment form isrequired each semester if a student transfers to another schoolso the loan servicer will know the student is still enrolled andeligible for an in-school deferment status. During a defermentperiod, the interest on the Federal Perkins Loan does not accrueand no payments of principal or interest are required. If the studentwithdraws, fails to enroll, transfers to another school or has achange of address, the student should notify Chesapeake Collegeand University Accounting Services, our Federal Perkins Loanbilling agency. They can be reached at 1-800-999-6227. Failure tonotify the school and billing agency could result in loan defaultand affect credit-worthiness and the ability to obtain financial aidin the future.Chesapeake College takes loan defaults very seriously and wantsto help students avoid defaulting at all costs. If you enter repaymentand are unable to make your payments, please contact theDirector of Financial Aid before you default, for assistance. Duringa deferment period, the interest of your loan does not accrue andrepayment of the principal is not required.Chesapeake College Office ofFinancial Aid Statementof Ethical PrinciplesThe primary goal of the financial aid professional is to help studentsachieve their educational potential by providing appropriatefinancial resources.

AddendumAppendix 1.Student Transfer PoliciesMaryland Higher Education CommissionStudent Transfer PoliciesAuthorizationThese Student Transfer Policies, as adopted by the MarylandHigher Education Commission, will supersede the transfer policiesin effect since 1972, as modified and adopted in 1979. Thesepolicies shall be effective and applicable to students first enrollingin Maryland public post-secondary educational institutions in Fall1990, and thereafter.Applicability of PoliciesThese transfer policies and procedures apply to admission, credittransfer, program articulation, and related matters for undergraduatestudents who wish to transfer between Maryland public collegesand universities. The Maryland Higher Education Commission alsorecommends them to Maryland independent institutions.RationaleA major premise of the Maryland public higher education systemis that a student should be able to progress from one segmentof higher education to another without loss of time or unnecessaryduplication of effort. The Maryland Higher EducationCommission’s objective is to ensure that a student who intends tocomplete a baccalaureate degree and who begins his or her workat a community college is able to move towards the completionof that degree by transferring to a baccalaureate degree-grantinginstitution without loss of credit or unnecessary duplication ofcourse content. At the same time, the Commission recognizes thatsome students change their educational objectives as they progressin their studies, indeed, sometimes because their studies exposethem to new ideas and possibilities. These students should also beable to complete their general education courses and have themtransfer without loss of credit.One means of accomplishing this objective is through the developmentof recommended transfer programs between two- and fouryearinstitutions. A recommended transfer program, developed bycareful planning and agreement between specific two- and fouryearinstitutions, is that recommended sequence of courses whicha student takes at a community college which will constitute thefirst two years of a baccalaureate degree program at a Marylandpublic institution of higher education.The Maryland Higher Education Commission recognizes thatstudents select institutions of higher education for a variety ofreasons. These policies also recognize that each Maryland publiccollege or university has a separate and distinct mission, and thateach has the responsibility to establish and maintain standardsof expectations for courses, programs, certificates, and degreesconsistent with that mission. Nevertheless, effective and efficienttransfer of credits between and among these institutions mustoccur within the larger context of the statewide structure of baccalaureateand community college education.Successful and harmonious articulation depends upon:• Firm agreement that the needs of the student should be a primaryconcern in developing articulation procedures, while maintainingthe integrity of educational programs;• The establishment of clear and equitable policies to assureoptimum accessibility for transfer students with minimal loss ofcredits and minimal duplication of course content;• Mechanisms for evaluating and resolving difficulties studentsmay encounter in moving from one school to another;• Free and continuous communications among institutions;• Mutual respect for institutions and their missions;• Adaptability, within a context of understanding that changesaffect not only the institution making changes but also the studentsand institutions impacted by the changes;• Free exchange of data among institutions;• Timely exchange of information relative to students’progress.The intended principal benefactor is the student, whose uninterruptedprogress towards a degree — based on successfulacademic performance — is best served by the open exchange ofcurrent information about programs, and is best protected by aclear transfer policy pertaining to the public segments of highereducation in Maryland.The State’s interests are similarly served through such a policy,which results in the optimal use of its higher education resourcesby reducing the costly duplication that results in the needless wasteof the valuable time and effort of Maryland students, faculty, andadministration.Institutional interests and missions are also protected by this systematicapproach, which permits them to incorporate into theiracademic planning more accurate projections about the programmaticbackgrounds of transferring students.In more specific ways this document’s purpose is to:• Define broad areas of agreement among the public two-year andfour-year institutions of higher education pertaining to facilitatingthe transfer of students within these segments;• Provide a mechanism for continuous evaluation of programs,policies, procedures, and relationships affecting transfer of students;• Provide such revisions as are needed to promote the academicsuccess and general well-being of the transfer student;217

Addendum• Provide a system of appeals beginning on the campus level toresolve difficulties that students experience in transfer.While policies and procedures can be established which facilitatethe transfer of students, it is the responsibility of the student, asthe principal in the process, to know and follow the proceduresdefined.I. PoliciesThe fair and equal treatment of “native” and “transfer” studentsis the fundamental principle of these policies.A. Admission:1. Associate Degree Holders (or those with 56 or morecredit hours):a. Students who have completed the Associate degree orstudents who have completed 56 semester hours ofcredit with a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of2.0 or higher on a scale of 4.0 in college and universityparallel courses, shall not be denied direct transfer to aninstitution. (Only the last grade received in a courserepeated by the student shall be used in computing acumulative grade point average.)If the number of students seeking admission exceedsthe number that can be accommodated in a particularprofessional or specialized program, or certaincircumstances exist which limit the size of an upperdivision program or the total enrollment, admissiondecisions will be based on criteria developed andpublished by the receiving institution, providing fairand equal treatment for native and transfer students.b. Courses taken at a Maryland community college aspart of a recommended transfer program orientedtoward a baccalaureate degree shall be applicable torelated programs at a Maryland public institutiongranting the baccalaureate degree.c. The determination of the major program requirementsfor a baccalaureate degree, including courses in themajor taken in the lower division, shall be theresponsibility of the faculty of the institution awardingthe degree. The receiving institution may set majorrequirements which may fulfill general educationrequirements simultaneously. However, indeveloping its lower division coursework, thedegree-granting institution would be expectedsystematically to exchange information with thecommunity college to ensure the transferabilityof credits into that program.d. If the student has attended more than one institution,the cumulative GPA for admission purposes will becomputed on grades received in courses at allinstitutions attended.218B.

The rates do not include those who may have taken longerthan three years to graduate or transfer.Chesapeake College, a two-year public regional community college,has adopted an open admissions policy in keeping with itsphilosophy of providing residents with access to postsecondaryeducation. Thus students attend the College with a wide varietyof goals including exploring transfer or career courses/programsand obtaining associate degrees and certificates.225

AddendumThe source for the following Chesapeake College graduationand transfer-out rates is the Graduation Rate Survey (GRS), areport submitted annually to the U.S. Department of Education.It should be noted that at this time the number of transfers-outrefers only to those transferring to a Maryland public college oruniversity and not to a Maryland private institution or any outof-stateinstitution.In the 2007 cohort of first-time degree- or certificate-seeking studentsat Chesapeake, 15 percent graduated within 150 percentof normal time and another 15 percent transferred to anotherMaryland public two- or four-year college or university. Thecombined graduation and transfer rate was 30 percent. There werean additional 16 percent who were still enrolled at Chesapeake atthe three-year mark.Appendix 4.Student Right-to-KnowCampus Crime ReportFederal regulations call for colleges and universitiesto report crime statistics to students andemployees (and upon request to applicants forenrollment or employment).
