GENERAL INFORMATION Refunds continued Withdrawal from a Continuing Education Credit-Free Course: Refunds are issued only for credit-free courses that MCC cancels, or if a written request is received five (5) business days prior to the first scheduled class meeting. Regardless of circumstances, no exceptions will be considered. Requests for refunds may be made: in person (room LRC B-147 in the Learning Resource Center), by fax (860-512-2801), or mail (Continuing Education, MS #16, MCC, P.O. Box 1046, Manchester, CT 06045-1046). It is the student’s responsibility to call Continuing Education at (860) 512-2800 at least five (5) business days prior to the start date of the class to verify receipt of the written request for refund. If you fail to call and we have no record of your request, you are ineligible for a refund. Refunds take approximately four to six weeks to process. Financial Aid The Financial Aid Program at Manchester Community College is designed to provide access for as many eligible students as current funding will allow. The prime objective of our Financial Aid program is to meet the basic expenses of tuition, fees and books. (At the time of registration, all students are required to pay their fees.) In addition, many recipients qualify for refund checks that repay their initial expenses for supplies and transportation costs. Also, many other students are eligible for work study and student loans to more fully meet their expenses for room, board, transportation, and personal, health and child care costs. Estimated Budgets for 2005-2006 Award Year Budget 1: Living with Parents Enrollment Status Full-Time Tuition & Fees $2,536.00 (Tuition & Fees are subject to change) Books & Supplies 800.00 Transportation 1,480.00 Room & Board 1,756.00 Personal Misc. 1,596.00 Total $8,168.00 Budget 2: Not Living with Parents Enrollment Status Full-Time Tuition & Fees $2,536.00 (Tuition & Fees are subject to change) Books & Supplies 800.00 Transportation 1,480.00 Room & Board 5,572.00 Personal Misc. 3,032.00 Total $13,420.00 Basic Eligibility Criteria: To be eligible for financial aid, a student must: • Be a citizen or eligible non-citizen of the United States; • Be enrolled in an eligible degree or certificate program (audited courses do not count towards enrollment status); • Have a high school diploma or GED on file at the Admissions office; • Be registered with Selective Service, if male; and • Be in academic good standing and maintaining satisfactory progress according to federal regulations. 12 How to Apply: 1) Apply through the internet (FAFSA on the web at www.fafsa.ed.gov) or complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and mail it to the processor as soon as possible. In order for us to receive your application information from the processor, you must include MCC as one of the colleges you plan to attend. The Title IV code is 001392. 2) Enroll in an eligible degree program through the Admissions office. 3) Submit tax returns, corrections and any other required documentation to the Financial Aid office in a timely manner. 4) Log on to www.online.commnet.edu to check your status. Deadlines • Priority is given to early, accurate financial aid applicants. • To ensure timely consideration, you should have your paperwork on file in the Financial Aid office by May 15 for the fall semester and Oct. 1 for the spring semester. • After these dates, applications will be processed on a rolling basis throughout the year. AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION, ALL STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO PAY THEIR FEES. Deferment of Tuition Students who are financial aid eligible and have met all the necessary requirements (steps 1 through 4 above) by May 15 for the fall semester and October 1 for the spring semester will be entitled to a deferment of their tuition. A student who is entitled to a deferment of their tuition will not be required to pay by the tuition due date. Instead, the Business office will be notified electronically of the student’s award, before the tuition due date. Tuition due to the College will be deducted from their financial aid award. Also, under certain conditions, you may have to pay the amount due at a later date. These conditions include, but are not limited to: • failure to respond in a timely manner to requests for missing information; • withdrawal from any or all courses; • unsatisfactory academic progress; • a final review of the application that results in your not being eligible for aid; and • non-attendance of courses. Student Loans • Students are advised to wait for a complete review of their eligibility for other forms of financial aid before submitting loan applications. • Students who are applying for a loan must also complete the above application process. • Student Loan Applications are available in the Financial Aid office. This application must be completed and submitted to the Financial Aid office. • The deadline for submission of loan applications is October 1 for the fall and April 1 for the spring. Book Purchases At the time of registration, all students are required to pay their fees. There is no financial aid book charge at MCC. Students are responsible for paying for their books at the start of each semester. Students are advised to have “start up” money set aside for fees, books, supplies, and initial transportation costs.
Financial Aid continued Disbursement Financial aid refunds are processed after students have accepted their award. This process cannot begin until the registration and course adjustment periods are over. The amount of the refund would equal a student’s financial aid award (excluding College Work Study and student loans), minus anything owed the College such as tuition, or Child Development Center expenses. Sometime between the middle and the end of the semester, reimbursement checks will be mailed to students who are entitled to financial aid. Title IV Federal Financial Aid: Policy for Return of Title IV Funds 1. Any student who is attending MCC and is receiving student financial assistance under the federal Title IV Programs may be entitled to a refund if they completely withdraw from their program. The percentage of the period that the student remains enrolled is derived by dividing the number of days the student attended by the number of days in the period. Calendar days are used, but breaks of at least 5 days are excluded from both the numerator and denominator. The refund shall be less an administrative fee which is not to exceed the lesser of five percent (5%) of the tuition, fees and other charges assessed the student, or one hundred dollars ($100). 2. During the first 60 percent of the period, a student “earns” Title IV funds in direct proportion to the length of time he or she remains enrolled. That is, the percentage of time during the period that the student remains enrolled is the percentage of disburseable aid for that period that the student earned. A student who remains enrolled beyond the 60 percent point earns all aid for the period. 3. In addition, students who withdraw from a program are subject to a calculation that determines the amount of cash disbursement (i.e., the disbursement made to the student to meet necessary educational expenses beyond the payment of tuition and fees) that a student may be required to pay back to the College or the federal government. This calculation will be in accordance with formula and guidelines established by prevailing federal regulations, and funds will be allocated in the following order (not to exceed the original allotment from each source): Federal Family Education Loan Program (unsubsidized and subsidized), Federal Direct, Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant, and other funds. Verification Procedures Your Student Aid Report (SAR) may be selected by the Department of Education for a process called verification, in which case you will be required to submit certain documentation in order for processing to continue on your financial aid application. Students will be notified of the documentation required and deadline dates when the information is received electronically by the Financial Aid office. This information is also available through the internet. Students can access it at www.online.commnet.edu. Failure to submit completed verification documents to the Financial Aid office can result in: • Loss of financial aid for the semester or academic year; • Loans not being approved; and • Future applications for financial aid not being processed. Helpful Hints for Applicants 1) Apply early. 2) Read instructions at the front of the FAFSA form carefully before filling out the application. It is also helpful to have a copy of your previous year’s tax return before starting the process. 3) Have start-up money when beginning classes. There are no book vouchers available. 4) Keep us informed of any changes in enrollment status. Remember that audited courses cannot be covered by financial aid programs and could put you in a repayment situation. 5) Keep your mailing address current with the Financial Aid and Registrar Offices. 6) Sign your award letter and return it to the Financial Aid office promptly so that we can clear your account with the Business office. Financial Aid Programs Financial Aid programs include grants, loans, and part-time jobs. Some of the major programs are: State of Connecticut Grants, Federal Family Education Loans (subsidized, unsubsidized, and PLUS), Federal Perkins Loans, Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant , and Federal Work Study. In addition, Student Financial Aid funds are available for study abroad programs as well as distance learning courses. Additional Information Additional information about all federal programs and federal regulations is provided in the Financial Aid office web page as well as in the annually updated Federal Student Aid Guide. This guide is available in the Financial Aid office. MCC Foundation Scholarships The MCC Foundation provides scholarships for both full- and part-time students. This past year, the Foundation distributed 100 scholarships and over $120,000 to MCC students. Basic criteria include financial need, community service and a grade point average of 3.0 or better/or an indication of steady academic progress. Application deadlines are April for the fall semester and October for the spring semester.
