ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICESThe purpose of Student Affairs is to serve students andfaculty. A primary goal is to provide services and activitiesthat enhance a student’s opportunity for success in theclassroom, to assist in maximizing the individual’s personaland social life, and to provide services that prepare thestudent for effective citizenship and career development.Academic advismentThere are two basic types of enrollment available to studentsadvisor assisted: or independent enrollment.

The placementtests may be taken only twice an enrollment period.The first day of Spring enrollment begins one enrollmentperiod, and the first day of Summer/Fall enrollment beginsanother enrollment period.Financial AidStudent Responsibility forCourse AttendanceWhen a student officially withdraws from all classes forthe term, the Office of Student Financial Aid will performthree steps in calculating how much of a student’s federalfinancial aid must be returned to the U.S. Department ofEducation or a student loan lender.A. Determine how much aid the student is entitled touse or has “earned” by attending classes. The date thatthe student officially processes a withdrawal formthrough the College and drops all classes is the officialwithdrawal date and will be used to calculate the percentageof time the student was enrolled in the termand how much aid the student is entitled to receiveor “earned.” The amount of aid includes funds actuallydisbursed plus those funds authorized but not disbursedat the time the student withdrew.If a student ceases class attendance, the last documentedclass attendance is considered a withdrawal forthe purpose of calculations. However, the student willstill receive a letter grade if he/she does not officiallywithdraw.B. Determine how much of the federal aid must bereturned. The earned percentage is subtracted from100% and determines the “unearned” amount offederal aid.3. Determine who must return the unearned aid. Thiscould be the College, the student, or, in some cases,both the College and the student. The unearned percentageis also used to determine, if necessary, howmuch the College must return of the federal funds itreceived as payment for tuition, fees, and bookstorecharges.The Office of Student Financial Aid will notify thestudent regarding the amount that he/she mustrepay. There are no methods to appeal the repaymentof these funds. Since the financial aid was not“earned” through class attendance, the aid that wasreceived but not “earned” must be returned-regardlessof the reasons for the compete withdrawal. Ifa student does not repay the “unearned” financialaid or make satisfactory arrangements with theU. S. Department of Education to repay the funds,he/she is no longer eligible for federal financial aid.Transfer WorkWhen determining a student’s status for financial aid, astudent’s transfer work will be included in the grade pointaverage. For example, if a student’s transfer work indicatesa grade point average which does not meet the establishedminimum, he/she will be assisted on financial aid (if eligible)on a FINANCIAL AID WARNING status. Sincethe grade point average is cumulative and incorporatestransfer work, students are expected to have transcriptsfrom prior institutions on file with the College’s Office ofAdmissions and Records.Completion of Degrees/ProgramsFederal law requires a student to complete his/herdegree in a timely manner. Colleges are expected to establishmaximum time frames for the completion of a degreeprogram. It is the standing policy of Rose State College notto aid a student who has attempted in excess of 100 credithours. This limit allows for a student to complete degreerequirements for the associate degree level and also allowsfor the completion of preparatory coursework.If a student has attempted more than 100 credit hours,he/she may submit a detailed statement which (1) providesa clear degree plan explaining the student’s objective; and(2) a summary of coursework remaining in the program.

This statement must be supplemented with verification,provided by the student, from the College’s Admissionsand Records Office, which identifies remaining courseworkfor degree/program completion. Such a request doesnot guarantee funding; however, if assistance is continuedin excess of 100 credit hours, the student will be fundedfor only those credit hours necessary and applicable to thedegree program.Academic Forgiveness (RepeatedCoursework and Reprieves)This policy utilizes a student’s cumulative average anddoes not incorporate the College’s retention grade pointaverage. Since federal law makes no provision for academicforgiveness, the Academic Forgiveness policy and its useare not allowed within the financial aid process.Course AttendanceStudents receiving federal financial aid are expected tomaintain regular course attendance. If a student does notattend class during the Drop/Add period of a session,financial aid will be cancelled.If financial aid has already been disbursed and the Officeof Student Financial Aid determines that the student hasnot commenced course attendance, all or some of his/herfinancial aid may have to be immediately repaid.The Financial AidApplication ProcessTo obtain federal financial aid, you must be a U.S. citizenor eligible non-citizen and have a Social Security Number.You must use your legal name as recorded with the SocialSecurity administration. Male applicants born after 1959must be registered with the Selective Service System. Also,a student may not be in default on a student loan or owe arepayment to a financial aid program.Follow these steps to apply for financial aid:• Complete the Free Application for Federal StudentAid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. FAFSAworksheets are available in the Office of StudentFinancial Aid located in SSB 200.• The personal information you will need to properlycomplete the FAFSA includes: tax records; untaxedincome records; and asset information.The federal processor will use the financial informationreported to determine an eligibility number. The federalcriteria provides for allowances based on tax, Social Securitypayments, household size, and the number of family25 • Rose State Collegemembers in college. The formula is to ensure fairness in theawarding of financial aid.Each school has a “cost of attendance” that includestuition, fees, books and other reasonable educational costs.To meet the cost of attendance, Rose State College firstreviews the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) whichis calculated by the federal processor. The EFC is subtractedfrom the cost of attendance and the remainder isyour financial need. An award package is calculated by afinancial aid officer. The process may take several weeks andmay include a variety of program resources to assist you inmeeting your educational costs.Sometimes, due to limited funding and application deadlines,we may not be able to fully meet your need. That iswhy it is important to apply early to get best considerationfor all programs. Generally, an application should be filedand completed by June 1 for a fall semester; by November1 for a spring semester; and by April 1 for a summer term.Program SummariesThe Federal Pell Grant is the basic federal program andis based on financial need (as determined by the federalformula). For 2010-2011, the maximum allowed by law is$5,550 per academic year based on full-time enrollment.The Federal Supplemental Educational OpportunityGrant (SEOG) is a program with limited funding thatis awarded to those with highest need. Since funding islimited, the grants are awarded to those with highest needand earliest application completion dates.

SEOG funding is not subject to appeal.Federal Work-Study is a need-based work program.Jobs, usually on campus, are offered to students that qualify.The total hours worked per week will not exceed 15 hours,and duties will be based on employer needs.Federal Stafford Loans are low-interest loans which areawarded to students who qualify.

The amount of federal financial aid assistance thatthe student earns is determined on a pro-rata basis.Once the student has completed more than 60% ofthe payment period, all financial aid assistance isconsidered to be earned.• Percent earned = Number of calendar days completedup to the withdrawal date** divided by totalcalendar days in the payment period—excludingany scheduled breaks that are at least 5 days long.• Percent unearned = 100% minus percent earned.c. When a student receives federal financial aid inexcess of earned aid,• The school returns the lesser of: Institutional charges(tuition and fees)*** multiplied by the unearnedpercentage, or Title IV federal financial aid disbursedmultiplied by the unearned percentage.• The student returns: Any remaining unearned aidfrom the funds that he/she received as financialaid disbursements.Any loan funds are repaid in accordance with theterms of the promissory note. That is, scheduled paymentsto the holder of the loan over a period of time.Any grant amount the student has to return isa grant overpayment, and arrangements must bemade with the school or Department of Educationto return the funds.d. The student is billed for funds the college isrequired to repay. Federal law requires that thecalculation assume that federal aid was used firstto pay for education costs. Consequently, a studentmay owe a payment to the College for educationalcosts—even if the student received a tuition waiveror other scholarship or assistance. The studentsaccount with the Business Office with reflect anyamount owed to the college. Student accounts notpaid promptly will be charged a late fee.* Federal financial aid includes the federal Pell Grant,federal Supplemental Educational OpportunityGrant (SEOG), federal Stafford Loans (subsidizedand unsubsidized), federal PLUS loans for parentsand Talent Incentive Program (TIP) grants.** Withdrawal date is defined as the actual date thestudent begins the institution’s withdrawal process,the student’s last date of academically related activity,or the midpoint of the payment period for astudent who leaves without notifying the institution.*** Book charges may not be included in institutionalcosts; however, a student remains financially responsiblefor any charges made by him/her in the CollegeBookstore.4.
