Student Policies and Services Americans with Disabilities Act The Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 guarantee equal access, equal opportunity and non-discrimination for qualified students with disabilities. A “qualified student” is defined as a student “who meets the academic and technical standards required to admission or participation in the education program or activity” (Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504). Students must voluntarily disclose that they have a disability, request accommodation, and provide documentation of their disability. Students with disabilities may apply for accommodations, based on an eligible disability, through the Student Services office. No diagnostic services are currently available through SWATC.

Assessment Services Assessment services are available through the Testing Center located inside the Media Center on the main campus. Some instructors may require a brief skills assessment before entering their programs. If this is the case, students will be notified when they register for the program. Instructors may also refer students to Student Services for assessment if they are challenged by their coursework. If the assessment shows that you need to upgrade any basic skills area, we can help you do that while you remain in your SWATC program.

Attendance Students shall notify the instructor when they are going to be absent. Ten consecutive days of unexcused absences will result in automatic termination. Regular attendance in class is as important as showing up for work every day. SWATC expects the same performance from its students as employers do from their employees.

You must be enrolled as a matriculated student before any formal offer for financial assistance can be made. In order to be considered a matriculated student you must submit the following: •

A SWATC Registration Form

•

A Registration fee payment

•

A SWATC Financial Aid Application and Enrollment Agreement forms which includes detailed program data

•

Certifying statement of High School graduation and/or GED (Official College Transcript(s) if transferring credit hours)

Federal Pell Grant Program A Federal Pell Grant is award money designed to help undergraduate students pay for education after high school. The award amount depends on your expected family contribution (EFC), the cost of education at your school, whether you are a full-time or part-time student, and whether you attend school for a full academic year. The Federal Pell Grant program is primarily designed to guarantee low and middle-income students, who are eligible for aid, financial access to a college of their choice. Keep in mind that Federal Pell Grants are intended to be the “base funding” upon which eligibility for all other aid is determined. A student may additionally qualify for other types of financial aid even if ineligible for a Pell Grant. To file for a Pell grant the SWATC Registration, Enrollment Agreement, and Financial Aid Application forms supply facts about your previous education, finances, and previous financial aid and must be completed. In addition, you will need to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to generate a web based Student Aid Report (SAR), which provides facts about your income, family size, assets, etc. Both forms are available from our Financial Aid Office and must be completed for each award year. Electronic Pell Processing SWATC participates in the Electronic Data Exchange, which provides the Institutional Student Information Report (ISIR) utilized by the Financial Aid Office to determine and ensure Federal Aid eligibility. Processing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Based on the information in your FAFSA, the length of your course and the training you will complete in the award year, SWATC can calculate the amount of your grant. If your course extends beyond June 30th, the calculation may represent only a portion of your eligibility, and you may be required to file another FAFSA. The government's Central Processing Center calculates your EFC to determine your eligibility. SWATC then receives an Institutional Student

Southwest Applied Technology College

Page 12

Information Report (ISIR) before a grant payment or loan funds can be disbursed. Applications are randomly audited as indicated on the ISIR, and if yours is selected for income/family verification, SWATC will assist in expediting the verification process. Expected Family Contribution (EFC) Education awards supplement the amount you/your family are able to contribute toward your education budget. To determine your EFC, the Department of Education (ED) evaluates the financial strength of your family. The evaluation is made from confidential data that you and/or your parents provide, including income, assets, family size, and family members attending school, along with your unusual expenses. NOTE: An EFC of $2700.00 may mean that you can pay your living costs and only $200.00 toward tuition. Your EFC should be pro -rated, so if your course cost is $1,000, your living cost is $1,000, and your EFC is $500, then 50% of the EFC should be contributed towards your education ($250.00). Policies and Procedures for Verification •

All selected applicants will be verified.

•

Selected applicants must submit required verification prior to receiving a confirmed aid award.

•

Students who fail to provide the required documentation within an established time frame, will be treated as a cash-paying student until the documents are provided.

•

Students who do not meet the deadline and are not capable of making a cash payment at the end of the deadline, will be dismissed from the College. A student may re-enter the College only when he/she can provide the documentation.

•

Students will be given a clear explanation of the documentation needed to satisfy the verification requirements and the process for document submission.

•

The College will inform students in a timely manner of the consequences of failing to complete the verification requirements and the actions the College will take if the student does not submit the requested documentation within the time period specified by the College.

•

Students will be informed of their responsibilities regarding the verification of application information, including the College’s deadline for completion of any actions required.

•

Students will be notified if the results of verification change the student’s scheduled award.

•

The College will assist the student in correcting erroneous information.

•

A suspected case of fraud will be reported to the Regional Office of the Inspector General, or, if more appropriate, to a State or local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction to investigate the matter. Referrals to local or state agencies will be reported on an annual basis to the Inspector General.

•

No interim disbursements of Title IV aid will be made prior to the completion verification.

The Student Financial Aid Office reserves the right to make exceptions to the above stated policies due to extenuating circumstance, on a case-by-case basis.

Once SWATC receives all of the information from your FAFSA, which is electronically transmitted through ED, the FA Representative will prepare a preliminary award for your review prior to processing aid (refer to other eligibility requirements below). Federal Student Education Opportunity Grant Aid (FSEOG) Program A Federal SEOG Grant is award money designed to help undergraduate students pay for education after high school. The award amount depends on your expected family contribution, the cost of education at your school, the amount of financial aid awarded, and whether you attend school for a full academic year. Keep in mind that Federal SEOG Grants are for those students who are deemed "most needy." You may qualify for other types of financial aid even if you are ineligible for a FSEOG Grant. Federal Work Study Aid (FWS) Program College Federal Work Study is a program that provides jobs for students who have demonstrated financial need. A job application hiring process is administered as funds are limited and are usually available on a first-come firstserve basis. State Grant Aid Programs UCOPE is a state-funded, need-based grant and work-study financial aid program designed to be an additional source to preserve access at the lower socioeconomic levels. The UHEAA Grant is a state-funded, need-based program intended to benefit students with the highest need and may be reserved to assist in emergency situations. NOTE: Both state grant program allocated amounts are determined annually and may or may not be available during some calendar years. Other Scholarship Aid Programs Other financial resources that should be considered include scholarship aid that may be available through high school organizations; church groups; and other civic or social organizations. Often companies provide scholarship aid for the children of their employees. It is imperative to defray educational expenses by preparing through part-time work and by not overlooking other possible financial resources. The SWATC Placement Department will assist students in locating part-time employment while enrolled in the college and maintaining satisfactory attendance and academic progress. Other Aid Eligibility Requirements Most of the information dissemination activities required by the Higher Southwest Applied Technology College

Page 14

Education Amendments of 1986 have been satisfied within the FA Guide and the College catalog available prior to your enrollment. However, student financial aid personnel are available, in accordance with federal regulations, to discuss consumer information in more detail with current and prospective students. To be eligible for financial aid, a student must: •

be enrolled as a regular student in an eligible program of study on at least a half time basis (with the exception of Pell and FSEOG.);

•

have a high school diploma or the equivalent; ¹

•

be a U.S. citizen or of a national origin, or an eligible non-citizen. Verification of eligible non-citizen status may be required;

•

have financial need (except for some loan programs) as determined by a need analysis system approved by the Department of Education;

•

maintain satisfactory academic progress and attendance progress;

•

provide required documentation for the verification process and determination of dependency status (detailed polices and procedures listed above);

•

have a valid Social Security Number;

•

not owe a refund on a Pell Grant, FSEOG, or state grant previously received from any college;

•

not be in default on any Federal Perkins Loan(s), Plus Loan(s), or Stafford Loan(s)(Subsidized/ Unsubsidized);

•

not have borrowed in excess of the annual aggregate loan limits for the Title IV financial aid programs;

•

not have a state or federal drug conviction;

•

be registered for the Selective Service (if male born after December 31, 1959); and

In addition to the above requirements, each program may have its own pre -requisites and/or regulations. SWATC can assist you in your application for each program and will provide you with a final determination of your eligibility and the amount you may receive. With documentation about your income and assets, SWATC can calculate your eligibility and provide you with a preliminary award schedule describing your award. A final award letter will be provided for your acceptance when you begin training. However, your award is not finalized until it's approved by the Department of Education which is provided in the form of a “valid” Student Aid Report (SAR). Please contact the financial aid office as often as necessary throughout your ¹Federal guidelines for financial aid eligibility require, in part, a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent (GED certificate, Adult High School Diploma), or that the student meet minimum ATB (ability to benefit) requirements on a test approved by the U.S. Office of Education. This requirement does not affect enrollment status. ATB Testing is available at SWATC upon student request.

award process. Additional program information is located at www.swatc.org and in the Financial Aid Guide provided to you through the SWATC Student Services and Financial Aid Offices. As well, http://www.utahmentor.org/finaid/ can provide valuable assistance in your decision process. Repayment/Overpayment Policy Regulations require that SWATC determine if any cash disbursed to a student exceeded the budgeted costs for that student during a period of enrollment. It is a special situation when funds are available to disburse to a student for costs other than tuition and fees, however, if this has been the case, the monthly budget estimated will be evaluated. If it is found that excess financial aid funds have been disbursed, the student will be charged and billed for the appropriate amount and will be required to restore the funds to the aid program(s). For example, if a school discovers that after a student’s campus-based aid was disbursed, the student received additional aid that resulted in the aid the student received exceeding his or her need by $314, the $314 is an over award. Until such overpayments are repaid, the student will be ineligible to receive future federal financial aid at any college. A student who receives an overpayment of a Title IV program loan, or a Title IV program grant may reestablish eligibility for Title IV program assistance by repaying the excess amount, or by making arrangements satisfactory to the holder of the overpayment debt. If a student whose overpayment case has been accepted by ED wishes to establish a repayment schedule, the student should contact collections by calling 1-800-621-3115 or by E-Mailing [email protected] Satisfactory Attendance and Academic Progress SWATC requires a student to complete a program within one and one-half times the length of the program. A student’s cumulative progress must be maintained at a minimum of 67% in order to meet the standards of academic progress. The Financial Aid Office assists in monitoring individual student progress every 150 enrolled hours (a payment period ends at 150 enrolled hours or when the student completes 150 attended hours and 101competency hours). A student is considered to be maintaining satisfactory progress when a minimum of 67% progress (completed study) is confirmed at each progress increment. For example, at hour 150 a student must have completed 101 hours or more of competency. At hour 450, a student must have completed 302 hours or more of competency. If a student does not complete the work required to be making satisfactory academic progress by the end of the payment period, the disbursement allocated to the next payment period will become ineligible. In the event that a

Southwest Applied Technology College

Page 16

student loses eligibility, aid may be reinstated once the cumulative academic progress reaches 67% or higher. A student will regain eligibility during the current payment period and not for a prior payment period. SWATC’S Financial Aid Department does not provide an option for requests due to extenuating circumstances in the event that a student loses aid due to poor progress. All hours that have been paid for must be completed before a student will qualify for subsequent disbursements. Title IV eligibility may be regained by meeting the attendance standard for any payment period following the one in which the student was suspended from eligibility. Please note that academic progress standards must also be met during a payment period in order to be considered for reinstatement. Academic progress standards for prior enrollment periods in the same program apply towards federal aid eligibility for up to five years from the date of the most recent withdrawal date. If a student maintained enrollment prior to applying for federal aid and academic progress in the same program is below 67%, the student will be required to meet satisfactory academic progress standards before financial aid will be activated. Verifying Progress for Aid Disbursement Satisfactory Academic progress is verified by competency hours completed and reported on the report for open-entry open-exit programs. In Lock-Step programs satisfactory progress is verified through an evaluation of the student’s grade report. Students who fail to complete the work before the start of the following payment period will lose their disbursement. For example, if a payment period ends at hour 300 but the new payment period does not start until hour 301 students do not lose their disbursement until hour 301. Tuition and bookstore costs are always accounted for in the evaluation of the amount owed to the college and are entered onto an evaluation worksheet prepared by the financial aid office. A final analysis worksheet and progress report is routed to the Student Services Coordinator , or his/her designee, who verifies schedules and double checks for accuracy. The worksheet and enrollment reports are then routed to the Accounting/Business Office for disbursement. Any proceeds will be maintained in the Office of Student Services during the student notification process. Financial Aid Probation Upon evaluation, any student not maintaining the minimum percentage progress (refer to Satisfactory Attendance & Academic Progress, above) will be placed on financial aid probation for the following payment period (assessment period). A student may continue to receive Title IV funding while on probation, however, if

Southwest Applied Technology College

www.swatc.edu

Page 17

the minimum cumulative percentages are not successfully completed by the end of the probationary assessment period, the student will not be eligible to receive Title IV or State funding for a minimum of one assessment period. Extended Probation In the event that unusual circumstances warrant the extension of a student’s probationary assessment period, the College President has the authority to exercise an evaluation of the circumstances, as well as to extend the student’s probationary period, provided it is not extended beyond one additional assessment period and is fully documented within the student’s academic file. NOTE: Student progress will be evaluated at the end of each payment period; students on probation may receive Title IV Financial Aid. Appeals Procedures Students who have been determined not to be making satisfactory attendance and academic progress may appeal their status by requesting within 45 days, in writing, a review of their particular situation. A review may be conducted by a committee determined by the College President. Any resulting decision is final and further steps to appeal will not be afforded. Return of Title IV Funds Policy (for federal aid eligible students) Federal Student Aid funds are awarded to a student under the assumption that the student will attend school for the entire period for which the assistance is awarded. When a student withdraws, the student may no longer be eligible for the full amount of Title IV funds that the student was originally scheduled to receive. The Return of Title IV Funds (Return) regulations do not dictate an institutional refund policy. Instead, a school is required to determine the earned and unearned Title IV aid a student has earned as of the date the student ceased attendance based on the amount of time the student spent in attendance. The calculation of Title IV funds earned by the student has no relationship to the student’s incurred institutional charges. The requirements for the treatment of Title IV funds when a student withdraws apply to any recipient of Title IV grant or loan funds that ceases all attendance. The federal formula requires a Return of Title IV calculation when a recipient receives or was eligible to receive aid and withdraws on or before completing 60% of the period of enrollment. The return requirements apply only to the receipt of or qualification for aid that can be included in the calculation. For example, the requirements of 34 CFR 668.22 does not apply to Federal WorkStudy funds. Therefore, the Return requirements do not apply to a student if the only Title IV program assistance that the student had received or could have received was FWS funds. Please note that if the student never actually began attendance for the period of enrollment, 34 CFR 668.22 regulations do not

Southwest Applied Technology College

Page 18

apply. Likewise, if a student began attendance, but was not and could not have been disbursed Title IV grant or loan funds prior to withdrawal, the student is not considered to have been a Title IV recipient and the requirements of 34 CFR 668.22 do not apply. For examples of the Return of Title IV Funds calculations or questions regarding the overpayment policy, please contact the Accounting/Business Office at the Cedar City location. NOTE: A student who withdraws on or prior to completion of 60% of the enrollment period may be required to repay some or all of the funds released to the student.

Student Grievance Procedure Suspension/Probation/Dismissal The instructor and student are encouraged to engage in a constructive problem solving discussion and to resolve any conduct or program issues. The instructor has the responsibility to advise the student that further issues may lead to disciplinary action. The student may be referred to Student Services personnel for further discussion and may be placed on probation as a result of this conference. Terms of probation are determined by Student Services personnel in consultation with the instructor. Problems occurring while a student is under probationary status may result in termination. If the instructor determines a need, an additional conference will be scheduled during the probationary period. Instructors can recommend probation or suspension and may physically remove any student who is a clear and present danger to himself/herself or others. This action must be documented fully and immediately. Any student who believes actions taken are unfair or otherwise prejudicial may appeal under the grievance procedures stated below. Appeals and Grievance Procedures In the course of technical training at SWATC, the student shall have the opportunity for contesting any action, grading, or evaluation made by the administration, faculty, or staff of SWATC in an appeal/grievance hearing, if so desired. 1.
