Columbia-Greene Community College students are eligible to apply for a variety of fnancial aid programs to help them fnance their education. Financial aid funds are based on fnancial need and are available to assist families and supplement their own efforts. All applicants are encouraged to apply and do not need to be formally accepted to the college to begin the application process. The Financial Aid Offce is located in the Student Services Court of the main building. Financial aid information can be obtained by calling the college at (518) 828-4181, extension 3360. General financial Aid eligibility requirements The primary responsibility for paying for college rests with the student and the student’s family and requires long range planning and careful budgeting. neW for 2012-13 ACAdemiC YeAr: Students who do not have a high school diploma or a recognized equivalent (e.g., GED), or do not meet the home-schooled requirements, and who frst enroll in a program of study on or after July 1, 2012, will NOT be eligible to receive Title IV student aid. Students will qualify for Title IV student aid under one of the ability-to-beneft (ATB) alternatives if the student was enrolled in a Title IV eligible program prior to July 1, 2012. Those alternatives had included the student passing an independently administered, approved ATB test or successfully completing at least six credit hours of postsecondary education. We note that this change does not affect students with intellectual disabilities who are enrolled in approved Comprehensive COLUMBIA-GREENE COMMUNITY COLLEGE 2012-2013 CATALOG financial Aid Transition and Postsecondary Programs. Students who enroll in such programs remain eligible for Title IV assistance from the Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, and Federal Work Study Programs even if they do not have a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent. A student’s need for federal fnancial assistance is determined by taking the cost to attend C-GCC and subtracting the expected family contribution derived from the fling of Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Additionally, fnancial aid eligibility is based on a student being matriculated, taking courses required in their program, and being in good academic standing in a degree or certifcate program. Eligibility for the New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) requires students to be enrolled full time (12 or more credits) in required courses for their degree or certifcate program. Part-time students with disabilities may have the full-time TAP requirement waived with clearance from the coordinator for the Offce of Special Services. Students attending part time (11 or less) are eligible for certain fnancial aid programs. Other eligibility requirements are: • Be a United States citizen or permanent resident. • Be a New York State resident for TAP and APTS only. • Not owe a refund or repayment of any previously received Title IV fnancial aid funds. • Not be in default on a previous student loan. 47
