什么是经济援助录取通知书?
The financial aid offer letter is the notification to the students to inform them of the type and amount of financial aid they are eligible to receive while attending MCCC. 学生将登录myWebPAL来审查和接受他们的经济援助. 经济援助录取通知书由几个部分组成:
预算: 估计 学生在入学期间上大学的费用. 预算考虑了学生将欠学校的费用.g. 学杂费), as well as outside expenses a student may have that are not part of the student’s MCCC bill (e.g. 书籍、食宿、交通.)
成立分公司: 成立分公司代表 预期家庭贡献. 这个数字是根据学生的FAFSA信息计算出来的. 成立分公司不是家庭必须支付的大学学费. 相反，它是一个家庭经济实力的衡量标准. MCCC使用成立分公司，遵循U.S. Department of Education rules, to determine a student’s eligibility for financial aid.
经济援助的种类:
- 礼物的援助助学金和奖学金是不需要偿还的经济援助形式.
- 贷款学生贷款是学生借入的资金，必须带着利息偿还.
- 工作研究: Students can earn money to help pay for school by working at MCCC as a student assistant.
Enrolling for less than 12 credit hours may result in a reduction in the amount of financial aid a student will receive. Students should contact the 金融援助 Office for information about how changing their class schedule (adding or dropping classes) may impact their financial aid.
特殊情况下
Students who experience special circumstances that affect their ability to afford the cost of attending MCCC should contact the 金融援助 Office for assistance. 这些情况可能包括由于失业导致的家庭收入变化, 减少工作时间, 或者一个家庭不寻常的医疗或牙科费用. 美国.S. Department of Education gives financial aid administrators discretion to review on a case-by-case basis whether data elements on the student's FAFSA can be adjusted, 附有学生提供的适当证明文件, 以更准确地反映学生目前的经济状况.
U.S. Department of Education regulations require that a student must be enrolled in an eligible degree or certificate program to receive federal financial aid. 另外, only classes that are required for the student to earn the degree or certificate are eligible for federal and state financial aid funding. (注:发展课程有资格申请助学金, 最多30个开发课程学分.)
If a student is enrolled in any courses that do not count toward fulfilling the requirements of the student’s degree or certificate program, those courses cannot be used to determine enrollment status for federal or state financial aid. While students may take classes that are not required for their degree or certificate program, MCCC不能为这些课程提供联邦或州财政援助.
什么项目有资格获得联邦财政援助?
MCCC的所有副学士学位课程都有资格获得联邦财政援助. Most certificate programs that meet a minimum of 15 weeks and are at least 16 credit hours in length are eligible for federal financial aid. 联系 the 金融援助 Office for questions about whether a certificate program meets the minimum requirements to qualify for federal financial aid.
The initial financial aid offer letter for students is prepared based on anticipated full-time enrollment for the Fall and Winter semesters. 如果学生的注册人数少于全日制, 财政援助额度也会相应调整.
佩尔助学金调整(秋季和冬季)
每学期, MCCC sets a day after which Pell Grants will not be recalculated for enrollment status changes. 这被称为 人口普查日期. 秋季和冬季学期, 这一天是15周课程100%学费退款期的最后一天. This means that Pell Grant payments will be based on the number of credit hours for which a student is enrolled as of the end of the 100% tuition refund period of 15-week classes for the semester.
- Dropping or Adding Classes Before and During the 100% Tuition Refund Period of 15-Week Classes: If a student drops or adds any classes before or during the 100% tuition refund period of 15-week classes, the Pell Grant will be recalculated and adjusted accordingly due to the change in the student’s enrollment.
- 在15周课程100%退款期后退课或加课: If a student drops or adds a class after the end of the 100% tuition refund period of 15-week classes, the student’s Pell Grant will not be adjusted due to the change in the student’s enrollment. 这种情况的例外是，如果一个学生放弃了所有的课程, in which case the Pell Grant must be recalculated based on the number of days the student attended for the semester.
2022年秋季人口普查日期是2022年8月30日星期二
2023年冬季人口普查日期待定
佩尔助学金调整(夏季)
The 人口普查日期 for Pell Grant funds for the Summer semester is the last day of the 100% tuition refund period for 8-week classes. This means that Pell Grant payments will be based on the number of credit hours for which a student is enrolled as of the end of the 100% tuition refund period of 8-week classes for the semester.
2023年夏季的人口普查日期待定
直接贷款调整(秋、冬、夏)
直接贷款, 如果学生注册的时间少于全日制, 学生的直接贷款可能会从最初的录取通知书上减少, because a student’s costs for part-time enrollment are less than for full-time enrollment. The 金融援助 Office will review a student’s enrollment status after the 人口普查日期 and make any adjusts to loan amounts prior to the disbursement of the funds.
直接贷款, the student must be enrolled at least half-time (a minimum of six credit hours) for the semester. The 金融援助 Office checks the student’s enrollment status at the time of the loan disbursement. (Note: Classes added after the 人口普查日期 will count toward the enrollment requirement for Direct 贷款.)
如果一个学生在学期的任何时候低于半日注册, the student becomes ineligible for any additional Direct Loan disbursements for that semester while at a less-than-half-time enrollment status. (Note: The student is eligible to keep any Direct Loan funds that had been disbursed earlier in the semester while the student was enrolled half-time. 这种情况的例外情况是，如果学生放弃所有课程, in which case the Direct Loan must be recalculated based on the number of days the student attended for the semester.)
Students who receive financial aid should contact the 金融援助 Office prior to dropping or adding classes to confirm how an enrollment change will impact their financial aid.
