38 credit card, traveler’s checks, or cash draft drawn on a local bank. Students are urged not to arrive in New York without sufficient start-up funds. Laboratory Charges Students may need to add another $100 to $300 for drafting materials or laboratory fees in certain courses. Each student taking laboratory courses must furnish, at his or her own expense, the necessary notebooks, blank forms, and similar supplies. In some laboratory courses, a fee is charged to cover expendable materials and equipment maintenance; the amount of the fee is shown with the descriptions in the course listings. Students engaged in special tests, investigations, theses, or research work are required to meet the costs of expendable materials as may be necessary for this work and in accordance with such arrangements as may be made between the student and the department immediately concerned. Damages All students will be charged for damage to instruments or apparatus caused by their carelessness. The amount of the charge will be the actual cost of repair, and, if the damage results in total loss of the apparatus, adjustment will be made in the charge for age or condition. To ensure that there may be no question as to the liability for damage, students should note whether the apparatus is in good condition before use and, in case of difficulty, request instruction in its proper operation. Where there is danger of costly damage, an instructor should be requested to inspect the apparatus. Liability for breakage will be decided by the instructor in charge of the course. When the laboratory work is done by a group, charges for breakage will be divided among the members of the group. The students responsible for any damage will be notified that a charge is being made against them. The amount of the charge will be stated at that time or as soon as it can be determined. Tuition and Fee Refunds Students who make a complete withdrawal from a term are assessed a withdrawal fee of $75. Late fees, application fees, withdrawal fees, tuition deposits, special fees, computer fees, special examination fees, and transcript fees are not refundable. The Health Service Fee, Health Insurance Premium, University facilities fees, and student activity fees are not refundable after the change of program period. Students who withdraw within the first 60 percent of the academic period are subject to a pro rata refund calculation, which refunds a portion of tuition based on the percentage of the term remaining after the time of withdrawal. This calculation is made from the date the student’s written notice of withdrawal is received by the Office of Graduate Student Services. Percentage Refund for Withdrawal during First Nine Weeks of Term Prorated for calendars of a different duration, if the entire program is dropped: 1st week 100% 2nd week 90% 3rd week 80% 4th week 80% 5th week 70% 6th week 60% 7th week 60% 8th week 50% 9th week 40% 10th week and after 0% Refund Policy When Dropping Individual Courses Tuition for courses dropped by the last day of the Change-of-Program period is refunded in full. There is no refund of tuition for individual courses dropped after the last day of the Change-of- Program period. The Change-of- Program period is usually the first two weeks of the fall or spring semesters (please note that the first week of the semester usually begins on a Tuesday). Please note: The prorated schedule above does not pertain to individual classes dropped (unless your entire schedule consists of only one class). The prorated schedule pertains to withdrawals. Withdrawal is defined as dropping one’s entire program. For students receiving federal student aid, refunds will be made to the federal aid programs in accordance with Department of Education regulations. Refunds will be credited in the following order: Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loans Federal Stafford Loans Federal Perkins Loans Federal PLUS Loans (when disbursed through the University) Federal Pell Grants Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants Other Title IV funds Withdrawing students should be aware that they will not be entitled to any portion of a refund until all Title IV programs are credited and all outstanding charges have been paid. engineering 2011–2012
financial aid for graduate study 39 Financing Graduate Education The academic departments of Columbia Engineering and the Office of Financial Aid and Educational Financing seek to ensure that all academically qualified students have enough financial support to enable them to work toward their degree. Possible forms of support for tuition, fees, books, and living expenses are: institutional grants, fellowships, teaching and research assistantships, readerships, preceptorships, on- or off-campus employment, and student loans. The Office of Financial Aid and Educational Financing works closely with students to develop reasonable financial plans for completing a degree. Columbia University graduate funds are administered by two separate branches of the University, and the application materials required by the two branches differ slightly. Institutional grants, fellowships, teaching and research assistantships, readerships, and preceptorships are all departmentally administered funds. Questions and problems regarding these awards should be directed to your academic department. Federal Student Loans (Subsidized, Unsubsidized, Graduate PLUS and Perkins), private student loans and New York State TAP grants are administered by the Office of Financial Aid and Educational Financing. Questions and problems with regard to awards should be directed to your financial aid adviser. Instructions for Financial Aid Applicants Forms Columbia Engineering prospective and continuing graduate students must do the following to be considered for all forms of graduate financing (both departmentally administered and financial aid–administered funds): 1a. Prospective Students—complete an application for admission and submit it to The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science’s Office of Graduate Student Services; 1b. Continuing Students—preregister for classes during the preregistration period; 2. Complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form and submit it to the U.S. Department of Education (only U.S. citizens, permanent residents and federally eligible noncitizens must complete the FAFSA; International students do not need to complete a FAFSA.); 3. Complete an Express TAP application and submit it to the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation (only U.S. citizens or permanent residents who reside in New York State must complete the Express TAP application; if you are not a New York State resident, you do not need to submit this form); 4. Students who want to borrow student loans must also complete the Graduate Engineering Student Loan Request Form and submit it to the Office of Financial Aid and Educational Financing. Application Process Before you can complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form, you must obtain a personal identification number (PIN) from the U.S. Department of Education. The PIN serves as your identifier and your personal electronic signature on the FAFSA. It will also allow you to access your personal information in various U.S. Department of Education systems. Apply for your PIN at www.pin.ed.gov. Approximately three business days after you request your PIN, you will receive an e-mail with instructions on how to retrieve it electronically. If you ask to be notified of your PIN by mail, it will arrive in seven to ten business days via the U.S. Postal Service. Once you have your PIN, you must complete a FAFSA-on-the-Web application at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Columbia University prefers that you apply for financial aid online. Information collected on the FAFSA will help Columbia to determine your need for financial aid. You must give permission for the application data to be sent to Columbia University by entering the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science Title IV school code 002707 on the FAFSA form. Once your FAFSA-on-the-Web application is complete, your online confirmation page will give you a link to the TAP-on-the-Web application. New York State uses the information provided on your TAP application to determine your eligibility for a Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) grant. The TAP-onthe-Web online form will be partially completed with some information from engineering 2011–2012
