Student 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. 

After the initial disbursement is made, adjustments will not 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.
  3. the Financial Aid Office receives notice from the Department of Education that the student is no longer eligible for additional disbursements.
  4. the Financial Aid Office receives notice from the Department of Education or state grant/scholarship issuing agency that the student's eligibility status has changed.

 

Return to Title IV (R2T4): In the event that a student receiving aid withdraws from the institution prior to the 60 percent 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 the debt has been repaid.

Additional Responsibilities:

Students receiving financial aid:

  • must be familiar with CCC&TI’s Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy
  • must maintain an accurate mailing address and phone number with the college
  • must frequently check their official college email for eligibility notifications and/or changes in eligibility
  • must frequently log into their WebAdvisor or Self Service account to review eligibility requirements, award notifications and/or changes in eligibility
  • 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
