The Financial Aid Office staff is available to answer all of your questions about
financial assistance. We will also be happy to help you address financial aid questions
associated with transferring to another school. Students and their parents are welcome
to contact us at any time!
The Financial Aid Office serves students and families by helping them find sources
of financial assistance which give them access to college. We teach people about financial
aid programs, how to apply for assistance, how to manage financial aid funds, and
how to fulfill their responsibilities as financial aid recipients.
In some cases a financial aid application may not reflect a student’s or family’s
current financial situation. In some cases a family faces Special Circumstances (e.g.,
lost or reduced income, death, divorce, illness, natural disaster, etc.) which may
increase a student's eligibility for financial aid.
A Special Circumstances Form is used by the Financial Aid Office to report unusual
situations faced by applicants and/or their families. Special Circumstances reviews
are conducted on a case-by-case basis.
If you have a situation about which you are uncertain, or if you have any questions
regardingSpecial Circumstances, contact us to discuss the matter.
Many financial aid recipients are eligible to defer their tuition and/or purchase
required books and supplies before financial aid funds arrive at the college. Contact
the Financial Aid Office to see if you are eligible.
Students receiving Federal Financial Assistance are subject to Federal repayment regulations
if they stop attending the College (officially or unofficially) before 60% of a term
has been completed. If the student stops attending before this time period the college
and student must return a percentage of "unearned" financial aid. This will result
in a bill being sent to the student. Students who do not repay their financial aid
may lose their eligibility for future financial aid.
Contact the Financial Aid Office before you stop attending classes to learn about
the consequences!
