Aid Recipient Responsibilities
Students must be aware of the following as it directly has an effect on their awards and continued eligibility to receive federal and state aid.
Calculation of Pell Grant Funds: For financial aid recipients, enrollment status for Federal Pell Grant purposes is determined by enrollment verification by the Financial Aid office just prior to the disbursement of funds, this includes evaluation of maximum number of semesters a student may receive Federal Pell Grant (12 full time equivalent semesters). After the initial disbursement is made no adjustments will be made to a student’s account for any given term unless, 1) the Financial Aid Office receives notice of a ‘never attended’ or 2) the Financial Aid Office receives notice that the student has received federal funds from another institution for the same semester.
Return to Title IV (R2T4): In the event that a student receiving aid withdraws from the institution prior to the 60% point of the term, the student will be responsible for any return of Title IV funds. Students are given 45 days to repay or make arrangements to repay the overpayment. Should this not occur, the debt will be turned over to the Department of Education, and the student will not be eligible for any Title IV funds anywhere until arrangement have been made to repay the debt.
Additional Responsibilities:
- Students receiving financial aid must be maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress.
- Students receiving financial aid should frequently check the student email account issued by the College for any messages from the Financial Aid Office.
- Students that have been awarded any form of aid should print, or thoroughly review any financial aid date in Web Advisor, including the full Award letter, and monitor any changes to aid listed there.
- Students receiving financial aid must alert the Financial Aid Office when planning to cease enrollment, transfer to another college, or take coursework at another college while receiving aid at CCC&TI. (Students are not allowed to receive aid from two schools for the same term. The Financial Aid Director will make determinations about eligibility in such cases. CCC&TI will not cover developmental module coursework taken at another College.)
