入学状况如何影响你的学生资助
TSC students are initially offered financial aid for enrollment at full-time status. 发放奖状前, 在正式记录日期的最后, the 金融援助 Office recalculates the cost of attendance and award amount for students enrolling at other than full-time status.
Recalculations are processed for schedule changes initiated by the student (in the form of adds/drops) or by the college (in the form of canceled courses and/or other administrative changes). Students who drop courses with a later start date (8-week courses) are also subject to an adjustment and may owe financial aid.
一些奖项, 包括佩尔助学金, are adjusted based on the number of hours students are enrolled in at the end of the official record date. 其他奖项, 包括联邦学生贷款, may no longer be disbursed after a student drops below half-time status within the loan period. Students should also be aware that changes to enrollment status for a specific semester may impact program participation and/or eligibility for future semesters.
If financial aid eligibility is increased and credit remains after the revised tuition and fees are determined, the available balance will be promptly mailed to the student by the Accounting and Finance Office. If the financial aid package is reduced and an account balance remains after the Accounting and Finance Office recalculates tuition and fees, 学生有责任及时全额支付这笔款项. Students may review the refund policy and tuition and fees information published in the TSC course schedule.
在一般情况下, students dropping below half-time status on or before the official record date are ineligible for most forms of financial aid and, 类似于学生完全退出TSC, 是否需要偿还奖学金和/或学费余额, 根据标题IV退货政策.
注意: Students reducing enrollment status after the official record date should refer to the Federal 金融援助 令人满意的学业进展 Standards. 学生完全退出该机构, 在正式记录日期之前或之后, 还应参阅第四章资金的返还程序.
How repeated coursework affects your student financial aid – repeated coursework restrictions on Title IV Aid
Students may only receive federal financial aid funding for one repetition of a previously passed course. This change in regulations became effective through the Program Integrity Rules adopted by the U. S. 自2011年7月1日起生效.
A course may be repeated with Title IV eligibility one time after a successful attempt. The third attempt of a completed course cannot be included in the enrollment status for Title IV funding. 学期预算将进行调整，以排除重复课程, and Title IV funds will be reduced in accordance with the adjusted enrollment status. Affected students will be notified via email of the change in enrollment status and the corresponding reduction in aid.
All repeated courses will affect financial aid satisfactory academic progress calculations. 重修的课程和最初的尝试必须算作尝试学分.
可以算作经济援助资格的重复课程的例子：
- Repeated coursework may be included if the student received an unsatisfactory or failing grade. There is no limit on the number of attempts allowable if the student does not receive a passing grade.
- 由于课程的学术要求而重复的课程. 学位计划可能需要重复特定的课程, which involves different or more advanced course content each time they are taken. 例子包括但不限于, 音乐表演, 毕业论文和学位论文课程, 独立学习, 专题及研讨会, 发展性课程.
Examples of repeated coursework that may not count for financial aid eligibility:
- Repeated coursework requires a minimum grade to be applied to the student’s degree plan. 学生可以重修一次课程以达到最低分数.
- Any course attempted for the third time if the course has received a passing grade of D or better.
重复作业的处理：
- 不影响：学生注册15个学分, 包括三个学分，重复以前太阳城赌场通过的课程. Because the student is enrolled in a minimum of 12 credits that are not repeated, 学生的经济援助资格不受重复的影响.
- Impact: Student receives a D in a course and decides to repeat the course to improve his/her GPA. 学生可以重修这门已太阳城赌场通过的课程一次, 但是如果学生想要重复一遍, 第二次重复将不计入经济援助资格. 在这个例子中, 该学生注册了12个学分, 包括3学分的第二重修, 所以只有9个学分才算有资格获得经济援助.
发展学分如何影响入学状况
Students cannot receive financial aid consideration for more than the equivalent of one year of developmental courses, 或者30个学分. 此限制适用于1000级以下的课程. ESL课程不计入发展上限. Any developmental credit hours attempted after reaching 30 hours will not be counted in the student’s enrollment status used in determining financial aid eligibility. 例如, students who have already completed or attempted 30 developmental credit hours but then enroll for 12 credit hours with three of the hours as developmental credits will only receive financial aid for nine credit hours (three-quarter-time status).
