*欧美色情片wn College recognizes that standard financial aid forms do not always capture the full financial profile of our students. Please contact the Financial Aid Office at 717-361-1404 if you feel you have special circumstances or have any questions concerning this process.
欧美色情片wn College is required to review your academic progress regularly to ensure your continued eligibility for Federal financial aid, as outlined in our Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policies and procedures.For information about SAP Standards at 欧美色情片wn College, and for the policies that are in effect for undergraduate and graduate students, visit the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards webpage.
Enrollment Eligibility for Financial Aid
The accelerated 5-week undergraduate sessions are offered in three 5-week "mini-terms" which comprise a semester.听 Because of this, the determination of half-time status is different than traditional degree programs that operate on a fall/spring semester schedule. Undergraduate enrollment levels are determined by combining the credits taken in three separate 5-week sessions in both fall and spring.
Undergraduate Programs (including associate and bachelor programs):
Full-time status is a student taking 12 or more credits within the semester.The website听听has an abundance of information for students regarding all aspects of using federal aid and offers a 鈥渟ummary鈥 page for students to get a snapshot in one place to view their borrowing history and lender information and much more.
At听, students can:
- view their federal student aid history, including loan detail, grant detail, and overpayment detail;
- get their loan servicer鈥檚 contact information;
- find out how much Pell Grant eligibility they have left; and
- download their federal student aid history into a text file using the MyData Download function.
Disbursal of Financial Aid
Disbursal of aid typically takes place in the first session in which a learner is registered; Pennsylvania State Grants (for undergraduate students) are not disbursed until the last session of the semester.听
Renewal of Financial Aid
Learners must reapply each year in order for aid to continue. Typically a reminder is sent by the financial aid office through email in March. Learners are highly encouraged to complete materials for their application by May 1 for the following summer and fall and November 1 for the following spring. This includes the College's Employer Assistance Verification Form and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Possible tax documents and other worksheets may requested.
Employer Tuition Reimbursement
Your employer might help offset the cost of your education; talk to your human resources department or consult your employee handbook for information about听tuition reimbursement听or assistance programs.
Tuition Deferment Program
欧美色情片wn College offers a tuition deferment plan for students using their employer鈥檚 reimbursement. Typically the employer requires your course to be completed with a final grade recorded prior to reimbursing the employee. Rather than requiring payment for the course upfront, students can enroll in the deferment program to defer payment for 30 days after the date of the last class in each 5-week session.
Jay Fellowship Referral Program
This initiative allows current students or 欧美色情片 alumni to recommend prospective students to the School of Graduate and Professional Studies (SGPS), all while contributing to reducing their financial obligations.听When you refer a student, both you and the referred student will receive a complimentary credit applicable towards your preferred program or ongoing course of study.听 Learn more about the Jay Fellowship Referral Program .
