21 21 SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP) POLICY The Real Barbers College expects all of its students to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) as established by this institution. Any prospective student should read and consider the SAP policy before enrollment. The college s SAP policy is applied consistently to all students enrolled in a specific program and scheduled for a particular category of attendance (part-time/full-time). The student must: 1. Maintain a cumulative academic average of "C" (70%) or better on all tests, work projects (operations) and other required coursework. 2. Maintain a cumulative average attendance level of at least two-thirds (2/3) (67%) of the scheduled hours indicated on their enrollment contract. For example, a student scheduled to complete 30 hours per week would have to maintain an average weekly attendance of at least 20 hours per week (2/3 x 30 = 20). Regardless of the average level of attendance, students who have more than two consecutive weeks of absences (14 calendar days) will be dismissed. This standard shall apply to all students except those on an approved Leave-of-Absence (see LOA policy). Students who expect to be absent 14 days up to 180 days are encouraged to request a Leave-of-Absence. In addition to attendance standards relating to Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), students are also required to adhere to other certain general institutional policies relating to attendance and tardiness. These policies are outlined in the School Rules section of the catalog on pages Complete the course within one and one-half times (150%) the length of the course as defined in the catalog. For example, a student who enrolls in a 600 hour/ 20 week long Esthetician program must complete within 30 weeks. For the purpose of determining the maximum time frame, transfer hours from another institution that are accepted toward the student s educational program are counted both as attempted and completed hours. 4. Students must meet minimum academic and attendance requirements for each evaluation period of the course to be considered as making satisfactory academic progress until the next scheduled evaluation. EVALUATION PERIODS: Students compliance with the Satisfactory Academic Progress is divided into evaluation periods and is assessed at each of the following times (all hours are actual hours completed): * Cosmetology: When a student completes 450, 900, 1250 and 1600 hours * Cosmetology Crossover: When a student completes 200 and 400 hours * Barbering: When a student completes 450, 900, 1250 and 1500 hours * Barbering Crossover: When a student completes 200 and 400 hours * Barber Instructor: When a student completes 300 and 600 hours * Manicurist: When a student completes 300 and 600 hours * Esthetician: When a student completes 300 and 600 hours GRADING SYSTEM: Students are evaluated on a regular basis in theory, practical and clinical work. The evaluations are measured on a standard percentile basis and the percentage equated to a letter grade. Evaluation forms are issued to the students upon completion of each increment of the course hours as explained above for student s review. This evaluation form reflects the overall Attendance and Academic progress of the student. Students must maintain a minimum of "C" (70%) cumulative grade average or practical evaluation to maintain satisfactory academic progress status. The system detailed below is the system utilized in the school. ACADEMIC GRADING POINT GRADES FOR PRACTICAL WORK 100% - 90% A...Excellent (GPA 4) 4 POINTS = A 89% - 80% B...Above Average (GPA 3) 3 POINTS = B 79% - 70% C...Average (GPA 2) 2 POINTS = C 69% - 60% D...Unsatisfactory (GPA 1) 1 POINTS = D 59% - 00 % F...Fail (GPA 0) 0 POINTS = F 21

22 ATTENDANCE STATUS: Full time: Any student scheduled to attend 24 hours or more per week are considered to be full-time students. Half time enrollment requires a minimum of 12 hours per week. Part-time enrollment is defined as more than 12 but less than 24 hours per week. Less than 12 hours per week is less than half time. WARNING: Students who fall below the above standards at the Satisfactory Progress evaluation point for their actual hours will be placed on Warning. A student considered to be making unsatisfactory progress while on Warning is still eligible for Financial Aid. If the student does not improve either grades and/or attendance by the end of the evaluation point, they will be ineligible for financial aid. ACADEMIC PROBATION: Students who meet the minimum requirements for attendance and academic performance are considered to be making satisfactory academic progress until the next scheduled evaluation. Students who fail to meet SAP standards during a given evaluation period will be placed on satisfactory academic progress probation for one additional evaluation period following a warning. If the student appeals the negative progress decision and if the college determines that SAP can be met by the end of the subsequent evaluation period or if the college develops an academic plan for the student, if followed, the student will ensure that he/she will be able to meet the college s SAP requirement by a specific point within the maximum timeframe established for the individual student. Students on SAP probation will be notified by the college that they are no longer eligible to receive additional Title IV financial aid during the probation period. For the students under SAP probation, aid eligibility will be reinstated only after the student has re-established SAP in accordance with the attendance and grading standards indicated in STANDARDS 1, 2, 3 & 4 of SAP standards as described on page 16 of this catalog. Probationary students who meet SAP by the conclusion of the probationary period will be removed from academic probation, will be considered making SAP and thus eligible to receive further financial aid. Probationary students who fail to meet SAP by the conclusion of the probationary period will be deemed not to be making satisfactory academic progress, and thus may be terminated at the discretion of the institution. In the event a student is terminated due to not making Satisfactory Academic Progress, all policies regarding the institution's refund policy will apply. APPEAL PROCEDURES: Students who wish to appeal the decision that they are not making Satisfactory Academic Progress must submit a written request to the institution's administrator. The letter should be received within ten (10) days of the college s decision and must describe any circumstances related to the student's academic standing which the student believes deserve special consideration such as but not limited to, an injury or illness of the student, or death in the family. The student can attach documentation regarding why the student failed to make SAP and what has changed in the student s situation that will allow the achievement of SAP at the next evaluation period, such as but not limited to doctor s note, death certificate etc. The administrator shall evaluate the appeal within a reasonable time frame (5-10 days) and notify the student in writing of the administrator's decision. Should the student's appeal be denied, he or she may appear before a school committee to present his or her case. The committee shall provide written notice to the student of its decision within a reasonable time frame (5-10 days). The decision of the committee shall be final. All the results of the appeal procedures will be documented in the student s file. All the copies of student s request and college s decisions will be kept in the student s file. REINSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY: Financial aid recipients, who lose their eligibility for financial aid due to unsatisfactory progress or to other forms of disciplinary actions, may have their financial aid reinstated. Conditions for reinstatement include, but are not limited to, the achievement of academic standing consistent with graduation requirements. The student may request reinstatement by completing a reinstatement by writing a letter documenting the reasons the student believes he/she should be reinstated. The school committee reviews such requests after academic advising with the student. COURSE INCOMPLETENESS: Course incompleteness, repetitions and non-credit remedial course are not applicable to this institution's form of instruction. Thus course incompletion, repetition and non-credit remedial courses have no effect upon the college s SAP standards

23 RE-ENTRY POLICY: All students who withdraw may re-enter into the program without the loss of credit hours provided it is within six (6) years from the date of their withdrawal. All student records are stored for six (6) years only and it is the responsibility of the student to maintain all documents received from the institution beyond the six-year period. The institution reserves the right to evaluate the previous enrollment and to verify that the student was in good standing with the college before the student is accepted for re-enrollment. If accepted by the college, the student will re-enter the same progress status as he/she left. LEAVE OF ABSENCE: Occasionally, students may experience extended personal, medical or other problems which make it difficult to attend class. The institution may allow a student under such circumstances to take a Leave of Absence (LOA) from the program for up to 180 days in a 12 month period. The LOA must be requested in writing by the student and must be approved by the school officer. The LOA request form must be filled out and the date of leave and return must be stated on the form prior to the officer approving the LOA. Do not request a Leave of Absence unless you absolutely need one. Students on LOA's will not be assessed any additional charges of tuition. Students returning from an authorized LOA will retain all credit for clock hours and work projects completed and will be returned to the academic progress status they held prior to the start of the leave of absence. In addition, students returning from a LOA will have his/her maximum time frame and contract period extended by the same number of days taken in the leave of absence. Contract addendum will be initialed by all parties Students who fail to return from a LOA will be considered withdrawn as of the last class day of attendance prior to the start of the leave and the official determination date will be the expected return date of the leave of absence. The refund calculation will be performed and all refunds due will be issued to the student or appropriate agencies and paid within 45 days of the official determination date. 23 ATTENANCE POLICY, TARDY AND MAKE-UP POLICIES: Attendance must be maintained at an average of 67 percent of the scheduled attendance if the student is expected to complete the course of study within the 1.5 times of the period of time stated in the enrollment agreement. An absence may be excused by calling-in the same day prior to the beginning of class. Students are required to make-up for the lessons, and exams missed due to absenteeism. If the student is absent during two (2) consecutive weeks, the school will withdraw him/her. The instructor in charge will review excessive tardiness or absences with the student to determine possible corrective action to the issue on hand. STUDENT RECORD RETAINTION The Real Barbers College has a policy to retain student records for a minimum of 5 years. 23

Withdrawal and Settlement Policy and Procedure The Real Barbers College s withdrawal policy applies to all terminations for any reason, by either party, including student decision, course or program cancellation, or school closure. Student s Right to Cancel: The student has the right to cancel the enrollment agreement and obtain a refund of charges paid (except the non-refundable registration fee) from attendance at the first class session (first day of classes), to the seventh day after enrollment (seven days from the date when enrollment agreement was signed), whichever is later. The notice of cancellation shall be in writing and submitted directly to the Registrar Office. A withdrawal may be initiated by the student s written notice or by the institution due to student s academics or conduct, including, but not necessarily limited to, a student s lack of attendance. The cancellation date will be determined by the postmark on written notification, or the date said information is delivered in person. Determination of withdrawal from school: The withdrawal date shall be the last date of recorded attendance. The student would be determined to have withdrawn from school on the earliest of: The date you notify the College s Registrar office of your intent to withdraw. Only the Registrar office would be authorized to accept a notification of your intent to withdraw. The date the school terminates your enrollment due to academic failure or for violation of its rules and policies stated in the catalog. The date you fail to attend classes for a two-week period and fail to inform the school that you are not withdrawing. The date you failed to return as scheduled from an approved leave of absence. The withdrawal date shall be the last date of recorded attendance. The date of the determination of withdrawal will be the scheduled date of return from LOA. If a student on an approved LOA notifies the college that he or she will not be returning, the date of withdrawal determination the earlier of the scheduled date of return from LOA or the date the student notifies the college that the student will not return. Refund Policy: After the cancellation period, the institution provides a pro rata refund of ALL funds paid for tuition charges to students who have completed 60 percent or less of the period of attendance. Once more then 60 percent of the enrollment period in the entire course has incurred (including absences), there will be no refund to the student. The registration fee of $ is a nonrefundable item. Equipment, books, supplies, tools, uniforms, kits and any other items issued and received by the student would not be returnable. Once received by the student it will belong to the student and will represent a liability to the student. If you cancel the agreement, the school will refund any money that you paid, less any deduction for registration fee and 30

31 equipment received. If you withdraw from school after the cancellation period, the refund policy described above will apply. If the amount that you have paid is more than the amount that you owe for the time you attended, then a refund will be made within 45 days of the official withdrawal date. See Refunds section below. If the amount that you owe is more than the amount that you have already paid, then you will have to arrange with the institution to pay that balance. Official withdrawal date is on the student s notification or school s determination.. Withdrawal Calculation Once the student has been determined by the college to have withdrawn from the course of study, the college will determine if the student received or was entitled to receive Federal Funds from the Title IV Financial aid programs available at the college during the payment period (or enrollment period). If the answer is YES, the college will conduct two distinctive and different calculations. Those calculations are described as follows. Return of Title IV Funds: This formula determines the percentage of time (scheduled hours) that the student completed of the payment period or enrollment period in a course at the time of the student s withdrawal. This percentage is then applied to the amount of Federal Funds from the Title IV programs that the student received or could have received in the same payment period or enrollment period. The result of this calculation is defined as earned funds. If the student received more than the earned amount, the overpayment is called unearned funds and must be returned to the programs in the following order: 1. Unsubsidized Loans from FFELP or Direct Loan, 2 Subsidized Loans from FFELP or Direct Loan, 3. PLUS (Parent) FFELP or Direct Loan, 4. Pell Grant and 5.The student. If the calculation shows that the student owes funds to the grant programs, the liability of the student is limited to the amount by which the original grant overpayment amount exceeds half of the total Title IV grant funds received by student. A student does not have to repay a grant overpayment of $50 or less per program. These funds are due from the student within 45 days. If not paid in that time and if the student has not made arrangements with the Department to pay that amount, the student will be referred to NSLDS, a central system that will show the student ineligible for aid until the matter is taken care of by the student. NOTE: If the institution was required by this calculation to return to the programs some of the funds it has collected as tuition payment, the student s tuition account would be adjusted accordingly. Therefore, if the tuition was paid in full, but if the institution returned funds to the programs, the tuition account will show that the student owes that amount returned by the institution to the programs. Those refunds will be paid to the program funds in accordance to the order listed above, limited to the amount of funds that came from each aid program within 45 calendar days from the determination of withdrawal from school date. Post Withdrawal Disbursement: If the calculation shows that the student received less aid than What the student earned within the payment period or enrollment period, and then the student would be notified by the institution of the amount of Grant funds used to cover institutional charges incurred by the student, or the available amount from Grant funds for direct disbursement to the student for other educational related expenses. If loan funds are involved in this calculation, the institution will notify the student or parent of the loan amount it wishes to utilize to cover educational charges, the financial aid program where the funds are coming from and the student will be reminded of the responsibilities involved in receiving loan funds. The student or parent in the case of PLUS will be given 14 days to respond and accept or reject part or all of the loan funds available. The institution will honor late acceptances only at the institutional discretion. Once this calculation is finalized, the institution will then perform a second and different calculation using the net funds retained (original tuition payments minus amounts refunded) to determine the amount of institutional charges earned by the institution during the payment or enrollment period. That calculation is known as the institutional refund policy calculation The Institutional Refund Policy This is a calculation mandated by the state agency, the federal agency or the institution itself. The formula takes into consideration the percentage of the course completed and it applies that percentage or the corresponding brackets to the institutional charges to determine how much the institution earned of those charges, how much was paid toward those charges and finally the amount owed, if any, by the student to the school or if there is an amount due from the institution as a refund to the Tile IV aid program. Those refunds will be paid to the program funds in accordance to the order listed above, limited to the amount of funds that came from each aid program within 45 calendar days from the Determination of withdrawal from school date. Hypothetical Refund Example: The following table outlines the refund due based on percentage of training completed, using scheduled hours, assuming you paid following: Total Tuition Less Registration Less Kit/books Less STRF fee Tuition Cost fee $15, $75.00 $1, $40.00 $14,

32 32 Tuition Cost Hours in Hourly Tuition Paid Hours Tuition owed Refund due Course charge attended $14, Hours $ 8.75/ Hour $7, Hours $5, $2, Right to withhold transcripts and grades for non-payment of tuition: An institution may withhold a student s transcript or grades if the student is in default on a student tuition contract. If the course of study consists of only one course, the institution may withhold the grades or the transcript until the tuition or loan obligation is paid in full. Rejected Enrollment: All funds paid except a non-refundable registration fee will be returned if the student is rejected for enrollment Course Cancellation: If a course is canceled subsequent to a student s enrollment and before instruction in the course has begun, the school shall at its option: 1. Provide a full refund of all money paid; or 2. Provide for completion of the course at schools in the neighborhood. School Closure: If the school closes subsequent to a student s enrollment and before instruction in the course has begun, the school shall at its option: 1. Provide a pro-rata refund of all money paid; or 2. Provide for the prompt completion of the course at schools in the neighborhood with no additional charge. 3. BBC will notify students individually of the availability of these arrangements or teach-out plans and advertise them as such. 4. Submit the list of all students who were enrolled at the time of closure including the amount of each pro-rata refund to NACCAS and disclose school records in accordance with state laws. 32

33 33 Federal Student Aid (FSA) Basic Financial Aid Information: Financial Aid Consumer Information In an effort to assist the student in making a more educated decision about enrolling, the TRBC provides the following disclosures on paper, in the catalog or on website. California State Institutional Performance Fact Sheet Federal Disclosures Right- to- know Act. How are our students doing? Gainful Employment Disclosure Crime statistics report and procedures Clery Act Constitution & Citizenship Day (Sept 17 th ) Drug and alcohol abuse policy FERPA Textbook disclosure GED Classes availability Copyright protection policy Admissions disclosure Voting Information Financial Aid Mechanism Financial aid is a mechanism that reduces out-of-pocket costs that the student and/or parents must pay to obtain a specific postsecondary education. Presented differently, financial aid is money made available to help students meet the cost of college attendance. Financial aid includes grants and loans. Grants do not have to be repaid. Loans usually have low interest rates that a student must repay in accordance to the individual loan program terms. Most of the loans can be arranged to require payment after a grace period of several months upon graduation, or upon the student s termination from the program or if a student s attendance falls below half time. Financial aid is awarded to students who have need. Need is the difference between the amount of money that the family will be expected to contribute to meet student costs and the cost of education at this school. Compliance Statement The Federal Privacy Act of 1974 requires that students be notified that the disclosure of his/her social security number is mandatory. The social security number is used to verify students identities, to process the awarding of funds, the collection of funds, and the tracing of individuals who have borrowed funds from federal, state or private programs. The U.S. Department Of Education Title IV Student Financial Aid Programs: The college is approved for, and does participate in the following USDE Title IV programs intended to defray the costs of attending for those students eligible for financial aid considerations: GRANT (FREE) AID (This aid does not have to be repaid) Federal PELL Grant Program (FPELL) $5,550 maximum annual limit (Does not require repayment) Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Program (FSEOG)* (Does not require repayment) WORK (PART TIME JOB) AID that does not have to be repaid Federal Work Study* LOANS TO STUDENT AND/OR PARENT (THIS AID MUST BE REPAID! THESE LOANS ARE NOT DISCHARGED BY BANKCRUPTY) Direct Federal Stafford LOANS Subsidized loans (Interest earned while in school and during grace period is covered by the USDE) **. Unsubsidized loans (Interest earned while in school and during grace period may be delayed until the repayment period and will be added to the loan balance). ** Parent loans (PLUS) (Interest due from parents as last disbursement on a loan is made) Perkins loan program (Interest earned while in school and during grace period is covered by the USDE). STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO KEEP THEIR LOAN DEBT AS LOW AS POSSIBLE. THESE LOANS ARE AGRESSIVELY COLLECTED BY THE USDE AND ITS CONTRACTORS. INTEREST LIABILITY ON LATE PAYMENTS IS VERY EXPENSIVE. LACK OF PAYMENT IS A VERY DAMAGING TO CREDIT HISTORY AND FUTURE BORROWING POWER. (*) Funds are limited in nature; therefore awards are based on availability of funds at the school. (**) Annual loan limits and based on educational levels within the course of enrollment. 33

34 Loan levels are specifically designated to the course of study at this institution. For example, if the student attended two years at a community college, but it enrolls in a course that is one academic year long without any transfer hours, the correct student level will be 1 and not 3 rd.loan level. For more specific information on each program please refer to the student guides available at Student Guide Direct Loan Basics for Students Direct Loan Basics for Parents PDF Spanish version PDF [3MB] Student Eligibility Requirements To be eligible for financial aid, a student must: Be admitted as a regular student; Be enrolled or accepted for enrollment in an eligible program; Be a citizen or an eligible non-citizen; Not owe a refund on a FPELL Grant or FSEOG at any school; Not be in default on a Perkins Loan or Stafford Loan/SLS/PLUS/Direct Loan at any school; Have financial need; Be making satisfactory progress (as defined by the school s policy) in the course of study; Be registered for selective service (if a male between the age of 18-25); Have signed a statement of educational purpose; Have signed a statement of updated information; Have a High School Diploma, a GED or its equivalent; Agree to use any federal student aid received solely for educational purposes.

If SEOG funds are still available, a second priority will be given to Non-Pell recipient students with the lowest Expected Family contributions enrolled during the last three months. Federal William D. Ford Direct Loan Program Funds received from either of the loan programs are subjected to repayment from the student

35 Before a loan document is submitted to the USDE, students must be fully aware of the financial responsibilities under these loan programs, the rights that the student has under the individual loan program conditions, and the consequences of failing to meet the repayment obligations. Federal Direct Subsidized Loan Federal Direct Subsidized Loans are made directly to students from the U.S. Department of Education. Subsidized loans are need based. Students may borrow up to the amount of the student s cost of attendance less other expected financial assistance (not to exceed annual loan limits). The Federal Government pay interest subsidies while the student is enrolled or during periods of deferment. Student would pay a combined origination/guaranty fee of a variable percentage but not to exceed 3% rebated directly to the U.S. Department of Education. Students may receive both subsidized and Unsubsidized loans provided the combine amount borrowed does not exceed applicable loan limits and that the student s eligibility for a subsidized Federal Stafford Loan be determined prior to determining eligibility for the Unsubsidized loan. The law also stipulates that borrowers may apply for both subsidized and unsubsidized loans using a single application and that such borrowers must be given a single repayment schedule. Maximum Annual Award: First level $3,500, Second level $4,500, Third level $5,500 (Max aggregate $23,000) If a student obtains a loan to pay for an educational program, the student will have the responsibility to repay the full amount of the loan plus interest, less the amount of any refund, and that, if the student had received federal student financial aid funds, the student is entitle to a refund of the money s not paid form federal student financial aid program funds. Federal Direct Stafford Unsubsidized Loan These loans expand the ability of the U.S. Department of Education to make Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans to students. These loans carry many of the same terms and conditions associated with subsidized Federal Stafford Loans with the following two exceptions: (1) Unsubsidized loans are not need based. Students may borrow up to the amount of the student s cost of attendance less other expected financial assistance (not to exceed annual loan limits). (2) The Federal Government does not pay interest subsidies to the lender while the student is enrolled or during periods of deferment. Interest must be paid or capitalized, i.e., added to the principal. Deadlines: Applications need to be submitted at least 30 days before the end of the loan period for which the loan has been requested. The student is responsible in locating his or her own lender that participates in the FFEL Loan Program. Maximum Annual Award: Dependent student: with Parent loan First level $2,000, Second level $2,000, Third level $2,000 (Max aggregate $8,000) Dependent student without Parent loan or independent students: First level $6,000, Second level $6,000, Third level $7,000 (Max aggregate $14,000) Disbursement: Checks are issued to the school and credited to the student s tuition account. It is the student s responsibility to submit all required forms and documentation to the financial aid office before disbursement. For additional information, read the pamphlet "Direct loan Entrance Interview" Determining Need The information you report on the FAFSA form when you apply for aid, is used in a formula established by U.S. Congress that calculated your Expected Family Contribution. TRBC utilizes the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for students applying for aid. This form will be processed by a contractor of the U.S. Department of Education at no cost to the student. The results will be provided in the form of an Electronic Student Aid Report with the calculation of the Expected Family Contribution. Cost of Attendance This institution uses the annual budgets published by the CALIFORNIA STUDENT AID COMMISSION. The estimate amount it will cost a student to go to school during an academic year of approximately 9 months is stated below. Elements included in the budget: Tuition Actual cost Registration Fee Actual cost Books and supplies Actual cost Living cost allowance (monthly figures): Student living Student Living with parents off campus Room and board $4,347 $10,063 Transportation 1,071 1,206 Personal / Misc. 3,114 2,

36 36 (The cost of uniforms is included in the personal allowance or included in the school charges) Award Concept, Selection of Recipients and Packaging Criteria This institution does not receive enough Campus-Based funds to satisfy all the student financial needs. Therefore, the school emphasizes the SELF-HELP CONCEPT of student financial assistance. The SELF-HELP CONCEPT is on a first-come, first-served basis when awarding eligible applicants. If the student does not wish to assume the combined debt of two or more loans, they may decline any loans offered by the school. ALL LOANS MUST BE REPAID. The SELF-HELP CONCEPT lists types of financial assistance in the following order: 1. Family contributions 2. Other resources 3. Federal PELL Grant 4. Self Help (Stafford and/or, PLUS Loans) The school awards from the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants in accordance with the following policy: The institutional participation in the Federal Educational Opportunity Grant is limited to the amount of funds given to the institution for an entire award year. (July 1 to June 30). Due to the limited amount of funds available to the institution, it is literally impossible to award FSEOG to all students applying for aid. Therefore, the institutional policy to select FSEOG recipients is as follows: This institution has a continuing enrollment process in which students may start each Tuesday of each week or Wednesday when Tuesday is an observed Holiday. In order to ensure a fair distribution of funds through the entire award year, the institution will make SEOG awards using data from the year presiding the current year, by using student enrollment, EFC and Pell Grant data to determine how to distribute the SEOG funds available. Based on last year s data, the institution expects an enrollment of 100 new students meeting the exceptional need criteria to be enrolled during the 7/1/11 to 6/30/12 period. Therefore, the awards to those students will be $100 through the entire period. As of July 1, 2011, the first selection of SEOG recipients will be made from students with exceptional need. Students with exceptional need are defined by this institution as students that have an expected family contribution (EFC) of Zero (00000) that will otherwise be eligible for the FPELL Grant Program during the same award year. If enrollment figures change, and/or additional funds become available to the institution, a second selection will be made from those students ineligible for the FPELL Grant Program with the lowest expected family contribution that enrolled during the last quarter of the award year (March to June). Both selections will be made from students, whose file has been completed, with no issues pending regarding the students eligibility for Federal Aid. Incomplete files will not be considered in the selection criteria due to possible lack of documentation. Awards will be made as long as funds are available throughout the award year. NOTICE YOU MAY ASSERT AGAINST THE HOLDER OF THE PROMISSORY NOTE YOU SIGNED IN ORDER TO FINANCE THE COST OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM ALL OF THE CLAIMS AND DEFENSES THAT YOU COULD ASSERT AGAINST THIS INSTITUTION, UP TO THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID UNDER THE PROMISSORY NOTE.

The midpoint of the academic year shall be a minimum of 13/15 weeks and at least 450 clock hours/12 semester credit hours/36 quarter credit hours. In effect, all students enrolled in courses with an academic year scheduled to be completed in less than 26/30 weeks, regardless of the number of clock hours/semester credit hours/quarter Credit Hours offered, would have aid eligibility reduced in proportion to the number of weeks and hours in the course of study in relation to the academic year. CLOCK HOUR: A period of 50 to 60 minutes of supervised instruction during a 60 minute time period. COST OF ATTENDANCE: Institutional charges for tuition, fee, books and supplies in addition to an estimated cost to the student for living allowances as room, board, transportation and personal combined compose the cost of attendance for an academic year or less as the cost of attendance or educational budget. 36
