Registration InformationAcademic AdvisingIt is the student’s responsibility to understand the requirements of his or her chosen program and to plan for their orderly fulfillment. Eachstudent is afforded the opportunity to work with an advisor in making decisions by which desired academic goals may be attained.

Withdrawals are accomplishedby completing an Add/Drop Form and indicating withdrawal from school.

Financial AidFinancial Aid Information<strong>Asnuntuck</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> makes available to its students a variety of financial assistance programs. The objective of thestudent financial aid program at ACC is to provide financial aid to those students who, without such assistance, would not be ableto pursue their program of study at the <strong>College</strong>. For this reason, all grant aid awarded by the <strong>College</strong> is based on financial need.Financial need is determined through the use of a financial need analysis system approved annually by the U.S. Department ofEducation. Utilizing federal, state, and institutional dollars, the <strong>College</strong> operates grant, work-study, and loan programs.GRANT PROGRAMSGrants are gifts of aid to students, which normally will not have to be repaid. However, if a student completely withdraws fromclasses before the 60% point of the semester, the student may owe a partial repayment to the Federal government and/or to thecollege for any Title IV funds (Federal PELL Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), and FederalLoans) received.* Other available grants include Connecticut Aid for Public (CAP) <strong>College</strong> Students Grant and <strong>Asnuntuck</strong> <strong>Community</strong><strong>College</strong> Grant (ACC).*For more detailed information, see Return of Title IV Funds on the next page.WORK-STUDY PROGRAMSThe <strong>College</strong> offers opportunities for employment on campus in various departments to eligible financial aid recipients. Jobsinclude custodians, office assistants, library assistants, and peer tutors, all at competitive pay rates.LOAN PROGRAMSAll loans certified and issued by the <strong>College</strong> must be repaid. Terms and interest rates vary significantly among the differentprograms. The <strong>College</strong> participates in the Direct Loan Program: Subsidized and Unsubsidized and Parents’ Loans for UndergraduateStudents (PLUS). In accordance with Federal regulations, a Student Financial Aid Ombudsman has been appointed.The Ombudsman will work with student loan borrowers to informally resolve loan disputes and problems from an impartial andindependent viewpoint. The Ombudsman helps borrowers having problems with Direct Loans, PLUS Loans (for parents), andConsolidation Loans. If your student loan complaint is justified, the Ombudsman will work with you and the office, agency, orcompany involved in the problem to seek a reasonable and fair solution.

Financial AidATTENTION FINANCIAL AID STUDENTSReturn of Title IV FundsIn accordance with Federal regulations, effective July 1, 2000, financial aid eligibility is recalculated for all Title IV* recipients whocompletely withdraw, drop out, are dismissed, or take a leave of absence prior to completing 60% of the semester.The recalculation is based on the percent of EARNED aid using the following formula:Percent earned = Number of days completed up to the withdraw date**divided by total days in the semester.Federal financial aid is returned to the Federal government based on the percent of unearned aid using the following formula:Aid to be returned = (100% minus the percent earned)multiplied by the amount of aid disbursed toward institutional charges.Of the aid to be returned, the school pays the lesser of the Title IV aid disbursed minus (the percentage of Title IV aid earnedmultiplied by Title IV aid disbursed or that could have been disbursed) OR the amount of institutional charges multiplied by thepercentage of Title IV aid unearned. The student may be responsible for returning a pro-rated percentage of the differencebetween the total unearned Title IV aid to be returned minus the amount of unearned Title IV aid to be returned by the school.Failure of the student to return the amount owed will result in an overpayment, which will block any future financial aid disbursementsat any institution until the overpayment is resolved. The student is also responsible to repay the institution the amount theinstitution returned to the Federal Government.*Title IV Aid includes Federal PELL Grant, FSEOG Grant, Direct Loans (Subsidized and Unsubsidized), and PLUS Loans.**Withdrawal Date is defined as the actual date the student began the institution’s withdrawal process, the student’s last day ofrecorded attendance, or the midpoint of the semester for a student who leaves without notifying the institution. Samples of thecalculations are available upon request in the Financial Aid Office.American Opportunity Tax CreditThe American Opportunity Tax Credit expands and renames the already-existing Hope credit and provides a valuable tax creditfor tuition and certain fees paid for higher education in 2009, 2010 and 2011. The tax credit of up to $2,500 represents anincrease of $700 from the previous Hope credit. The definition of tuition and related expenses has been expanded to include expendituresfor course materials, which for this purpose includes books, supplies, and equipment needed for a course of study.Taxpayers will receive a tax credit based on 100 percent of the first $2,000 of tuition, fees and course materials paid during thetaxable year, plus 25 percent of the next $2,000 of tuition, fees and course materials paid during the taxable year. The tax creditprovides a dollar for dollar reduction of the taxpayer’s tax liability. If the amount that you are eligible for is more than your taxliability, the amount of the credit that is more than the tax liability is refunded to you, up to a maximum refund of 40 percent of theamount of the credit for which you are eligible.The American Opportunity Tax Credit also increased the adjusted gross income (AGI) limits to allow more taxpayers to qualify.Taxpayers whose federal tax return has a modified AGI of $80,000 or less ($160,000 or less for joint filers) are eligible for thecredit. The credit is reduced ratably if the modified AGI exceeds the above amounts and a taxpayer whose AGI is greater than$90,000 ($180,000 for joint filers) cannot benefit from this credit.The credit is claimed using Form 8863, attached to Form 1040 or 1040A.
