Info

federal budgetary constraints, funding for the Federal Perkins Loan program is very limited. Repayment of the loan begins after the student ceases to be enrolled on at least a half-time basis. Perkins recipients must also complete entrance and exit counseling. Disbursement of Funds Each semester, the UMUC Business Office disburses (applies) funds to your student account based on Federal and UMUC guidelines. In general, funds (loans, Pell, FSEOG) are authorized by the Financial Aid Office to the Business Office after the Pell census date once confirmation of your enrollment has taken place by the Financial Aid Office. Awards applied to your account in excess of tuition and fee charges are refunded to your within UMUC and Federally mandated timeframes. The Business Office in Heidelberg prepares refund checks and mails them directly to you. In general, this refund process required 7-14 days from the date the credit balance was created on your account at UMUC. Satisfactory Academic Progress Financial aid is intended to meet the financial needs of students who otherwise could not or would not consider continuing their education. Students who receive financial aid must not only demonstrate financial need, but must also make satisfactory progress as determined by Maryland in accordance with federal regulations. Financial aid recipients are required to be in good standing and to maintain satisfactory academic progress toward their degree requirements for each term in which they are enrolled. Satisfactory academic progress is evaluated three times each year, in January, June, and September. Failure to maintain satisfactory progress, as described below, may result in cancellation of financial aid awards, and the student may have to repay any funds already received. Please be cautioned that because of the short duration of the regular 8-week term, satisfactory academic progress cannot be determined until enrollment and grades have been submitted. Because of the possibility of overlapping enrollment periods with Distance Education terms, late grade reporting, and seminar classes, a student may be notified of their probationary or denied status after the next term has begun. Failure to receive written notification does not mitigate the probationary or denied status. Students receive a copy of the Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards with their award letter. Students are responsible for knowing these requirements and requesting clarification when necessary. Basic Standards for Undergraduate Students Maryland’s institutional requirements for minimum satisfactory performance for financial aid recipients are defined as follows: 1. Minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA). The student must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 2. Minimum completion rate. A minimum cumulative completion rate of 67% of credits attempted. Financial Aid 3. Federally mandated maximum timeframe to complete the program/degree. The student must complete his or her educational program within a time frame no longer than 150% of the published length of the educational program (for example, complete his or her program after attempting a maximum of 180 credits for a 120-credit program). Federal regulations require that UMUC tracks the academic progress of financial aid recipients from the first date of enrollment at Maryland whether or not financial aid was received. Credits transferred from another institution will be considered as attempted and completed credits in the evaluation of the 150% program completion standard and the cumulative completion rate. The two cumulative standards outlined above are eligibility requirements for student aid. Students who exceed the 150% timeframe for any reason will be placed on Financial Aid Denial, not Financial Aid Probation, status. No financial aid will be disbursed for the student during subsequent terms unless the student has made an appeal of the Financial Aid Denied status and the appeal is granted. Treatment of W, I, Au, Fa/Fn Grades and Repeated Course Work Course Withdrawals (W) Course withdrawals are not included in the GPA calculation but are considered a non-completion of attempted course work. Incomplete (I) Incomplete grades are not included in the GPA calculation but are considered a non-completion of attempted course work until the Incomplete grade is replaced with a permanent grade and academic progress can be re-evaluated. Audit (Au) An audit (Au) grade is not considered attempted course work. It is not included in the GPA calculation or completion rate determinations. Fa/Fn Fa/Fn grades will be treated as attempted credits which were not earned, and will therefore be included both in the calculation of GPA and minimum completion rate. Repeated Courses The highest grade earned in a course that is repeated will count in the GPA computation, but every repeated attempt will be included in the completion rate determinations. Please note that no financial aid can be disbursed for a repeated attempt if the student already has achieved a passing grade for that course. Maryland’s policy only allows students to receive aid for one repeat of a course. Financial Aid Academic Probation Students who fail to meet the minimum 2.0 cumulative grade point average standard or fail to meet the minimum 67% completion rate will be placed on Financial Aid Probation. They will remain on probation for subsequent terms of enrollment until the next Satisfactory Academic Progress evaluation, which occurs in January, June, and September of each year. Financial aid can be received during the term of 2003/2004 Undergraduate Catalog 7
Financial Aid probation. Financial aid disbursements for the next period of enrollment will be held until the grades and course completions have been reviewed for the term of Financial Aid Probation. Students receiving financial aid for the first time will be placed on Financial Aid Probation if they do not meet the minimum grade point average or course completion standards as noted in this policy in a previous term of enrollment at Maryland. Financial Aid Denied Status Students on Financial Aid Probation or on Financial Aid Denied status who fail to maintain the minimum completion rate and/or who fail to maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better will be placed on Financial Aid Denied status for the following period of enrollment. No financial aid will be disbursed during subsequent terms until the student is removed from Financial Aid Denied status. Students who fail to satisfy the 150% requirement will also be placed in Financial Aid Denied status. No aid will be disbursed during subsequent terms unless the student has made an appeal and the appeal is granted for that term. There are no exceptions to this requirement. Students, for example, in a 120-credit bachelor degree program who have attempted in excess of 180 credits including transfer credits are no longer eligible for financial aid. There is no probationary period. Reinstatement of Aid after Financial Aid Denied Status Reinstatement of financial aid after a student is placed in Financial Aid Denied status is achieved in one of the following ways: 1. The student submits a written letter of appeal in accordance with the appeal process, and the Financial Aid Appeals Committee grants the appeal. The student is placed on Financial Aid Probation for the term rather than in Financial Aid Denied status. 2. The student attends Maryland, pays for tuition and fees without the help of student financial aid, and does well enough in the course work to satisfy all the satisfactory academic progress standards. The student regains aid eligibility and is placed on probation status. Students who are in Financial Aid Denied status for failure to meet the 150% requirement cannot regain eligibility this way. Students who have exceeded 150% of their program cannot regain financial aid eligibility except on a term-by-term basis through the appeals process. 8 Contact the Financial Aid Office For details concerning financial aid information noted here, refer to the Maryland Guide to Financial Aid or contact: University of Maryland University College Financial Aid Office Unit 29216 APO AE 09102 DSN: 370-6762 CIV: +49-(0)6221-378324 Fax: +49-(0)6221-378398 E-mail: edfso@ed.umuc.edu Web: www.ed.umuc.edu/fso Appeal Process The student must submit an appeal of Financial Aid Denied status in writing to the Associate Director, Financial Aid. Appeals should contain an explanation of what contributed to the denied status and should address how satisfactory academic progress will be maintained in the future. The Financial Aid Appeals Committee will review the appeal and notify the student in writing of their decision within 14 working days after the Appeals Committee meets and makes its determination. All decisions made by the Financial Aid Appeals Committee are final. Appeals should be directed to: University of Maryland University College Associate Director, Financial Aid Unit 29216 APO AE 09102 Fax: +49-(0)6221-378398 Federal Return of Funds Policy The student is responsible for following the University’s withdrawal procedures as outlined in this catalog. The 1998 Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act requires the University to calculate a return of Title IV funds (loans and grants) on all federal financial aid students who withdraw (officially or unofficially) from all classes for the term on or before the 60 percent attendance point in the term. If you withdraw from classes, you might not receive further financial aid disbursements, you may lose some or all of the aid that has already been disbursed to your account, and you may be personally responsible for payment of any charges for tuition and fees that are due. It is the student’s responsibility to notify the Financial Aid Office when he or she will not complete courses for which financial aid was received. For a complete description of the Federal Return of Funds Policy, please refer to the Maryland Guide to Financial Aid. 2003/2004Undergraduate Catalog
