Financial Aid 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 status. 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 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 UMUC-Europe. 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 on 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: • 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. • The student attends UMUC-Europe, pays for tuition and fees without the help of student financial aid, and does well enough in the coursework to satisfy all of the satisfactory academic progress standards. The student regains financial aid eligibility and is placed on Financial Aid Probation status. Students who are on Financial Aid Denied status for failure to meet the 150% requirement cannot regain eligibility this way. They cannot regain financial aid eligibility except on a term-by-term basis through the appeals process. 8 Contact the UMUC-Europe Financial Aid Office For details concerning financial aid, refer to the UMUC-Europe Guide to Financial Aid or contact: University of Maryland University College-Europe Financial Aid Office Unit 29216 APO AE 09102 and/or (civilian address) University of Maryland University College-Europe Financial Aid Office Im Bosseldorn 30 69126 Heidelberg Germany DSN: 370-6762, ext. 324 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, UMUC- Europe Financial Aid Office. 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 its 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. 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 students withdraw from classes, they may not receive further financial aid disbursements, they may lose some or all of the aid that has already been disbursed to their account, and they may be personally responsible for payment of any charges for tuition and fees that are due. Students must notify the Financial Aid Office when they 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 UMUC-Europe Guide to Financial Aid. 2004-2005 Undergraduate Catalog
Veterans Educational Benefits Many UMUC students (veterans and active-duty military members) are eligible for veterans’ educational benefits. Information and application forms may be obtained at local education centers. Please ask the Education Services Officer (ESO), counselor, or Navy College officials for assistance in applying for Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits. Certification Process and Payments University of Maryland University College acts as a certifying agent for the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) and certifies students’ enrollments to the Department of Veterans Affairs Regional Office in Buffalo, New York. The primary responsibility of the University is to verify active enrollment of VA students; it is not to make decisions on individual claims. VA payments are made by the DVA directly to students and are calculated by the DVA in accordance with federal regulations. Educational benefits are paid according to how the DVA views both the nature of the courses and the course load a student is taking. Because of the way the DVA views special format classes, such as Distance Education and seminars, students are cautioned to check with the Veterans Affairs Office, UMUC-Europe in Heidelberg regarding how DVA benefits are paid for these classes. VA students who withdraw are subject to having the amount of their award recalculated by the DVA and may be required to repay any unauthorized amounts received. Enrolling for Classes as a VA Student Eligible students first registering with UMUC-Europe who have not yet applied to use their VA Benefits • In-service personnel submit: Before registration, VA Form 22-1990, signed by the ESO and CO, and a certified, true copy of DD Form 214 for each period of prior service directly to the VA Office in Heidelberg. At registration, UMAA-026, Application for an Official Evaluation (noted “VA”) and all documents necessary for an Official Evaluation to the field representative. VA Students Must Have an Evaluation VA regulations require that all VA students declare a major field of study and have an Official Evaluation of all prior academic coursework and military training. VA students must have an Official Evaluation completed within two terms of their first VA enrollment with UMUC-Europe to continue receiving VA benefits. The DVA may seek reimbursement of benefits paid from a student who has received benefits for enrollments after two terms without having received an Official Evaluation. Veterans Educational Benefits • Veterans submit: Before registration, VA Form 22-1990, and a certified, true copy of DD Form 214 for each period of prior service. At registration, UMAA-026, Application for an Official Evaluation (noted “VA”) and all documents necessary for evaluation to the field representative. Eligible students who have already used VA benefits at another university or elsewhere within UMUC and have not subsequently changed status • In-service personnel submit: Before registration, VA Form 22-1995, signed by the ESO, directly to the VA Office in Heidelberg. At first registration for which student seeks enrollment certification by UMUC, UMAA-026, Application for an Official Evaluation (noted “VA”) and necessary documents to the field representative. • Veterans submit: Before registration, VA Form 22-1995, directly to the VA Office in Heidelberg. At first registration for which students seek enrollment certification by UMUC, UMAA-026, Application for an Official Evaluation (noted “VA”) and necessary documents to the field representative. VA Students From Other Institutions Students who are not pursuing UMUC degrees but who wish to receive VA benefits for UMUC-Europe courses must request written permission for each course from their degree-granting school before enrolling or secure an Official Evaluation from UMUC-Europe within two terms of their first enrollment as a VA student. Written permission must be submitted to the UMUC-Europe field representative at registration, with the appropriate VA application and any necessary documentation. Previously Certified Students Students previously certified by UMUC-Europe need only inform the field representative that they wish to receive VA for their enrollment. Students Receiving G.I. Bill Students receiving educational benefits under the G.I. Bill should typically expect to be able to verify their monthly enrollment information for payment online via Web Automated Verification of Enrollment (WAVE) at www.gibill.va.gov within 6-8 weeks of the beginning of each new term. 2004-2005 Undergraduate Catalog 9
