Financial Aid

Students who wish to receive funding from the New York State financial aid programs must maintain good academic standing.

• Good academic standing consists of Pursuit of Program (POP), 纽约州教育局将其定义为在全日制课程中达到一定比例的及格或不及格分数. Passing grades are grades of D- or better. A failing grade is an "F." Grades of "W," "I," and "WI" are not passing or failing grades. The percentage increases for each year of attendance. See the TAP Eligibility Charts for details.
• The second element of good academic standing is Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). SAP is the number of credits the student earned toward their certificate or degree at the end of each semester, and the cumulative grade point average. Transitional studies courses that students may be required to take do not count toward SAP requirements. See the TAP Eligibility Charts for details. There are 2 TAP charts, one for remedial and one for non-remedial students.

Students will be evaluated for POP and SAP at the end of each semester. 未达到POP或SAP标准的学生将失去MCC下一个日历年的纽约州财政援助计划的资格. 获得相当于六个全日制纽约州TAP奖项的学生将不再有资格在社区大学获得TAP. 课程变更不会帮助学生在新课程的第一学期重新获得SAP和GPA要求的资格.

C Average Requirement:

Students who, in prior terms, 已获得相当于两年或两年以上的国家资助学生助学金(在以前的学期中累计获得24个或更多的付款点)，必须累计获得“C”(2.0) GPA to be eligible for continued state financial aid. Students subject to the "C" average requirement must meet this in addition to POP and SAP requirements. State financial aid programs subject to this requirement include all general and academic performance awards.

Non-Credit Transitional Studies Courses: Students who are required to take non-credit transitional studies courses must be aware of the following:

• Non-credit transitional studies courses do not count toward completion of SAP requirements.
• To meet the full-time or part-time requirements for each semester's attendance, 非学分过渡学习课程的学生必须在其注册中包括第一学期至少3个学分，之后每个学期至少6个学分. The total number of semester hours (non-credit and credit) must be at least 12 or more for TAP, and 3 to 11 semester hours for Aid for Part-Time Study.

Full-Time Enrollment

纽约州教育部将TAP认证的全日制学生定义为在至少15周的学期中注册并参加至少12个学分以获得学位或证书(包括上述补救组合)的学生.

Repeat Courses

When a student has earned a passing grade (D- or better) in a course, it generally cannot be included in the calculation of full or part-time status if the student takes the course again. For State financial aid purposes, courses cannot be repeated to raise the GPA or to get a better grasp of the subject matter. Four exceptions to this ruling are:

1. 当收到的成绩是及格，但不被录取学生的学位或证书课程所接受. For example, the student's program requires that the student get a C or better in ABC100 to be graduated, but the student earns a D in ABC100. The student could repeat ABC100 to earn a better grade. The program description in this Catalog & Student Handbook (Programs of Study) must stipulate this for the repeated course to be eligible for financial aid.

2. When a grade received is passing but is not acceptable for the student to move on to the next course in the sequence. For example, ABC101 requires that a student get a C or better in ABC100 in order to take ABC101. The student gets a C- in ABC100 and, therefore, would not be able to take ABC101. Therefore, the student can repeat ABC100 to earn a better grade. The course description in this Catalog & Student Handbook (Course Descriptions) must stipulate this for the repeated course to be eligible for financial aid.

3. 学生必须同时选修一门课程和一门相关课程并通过考试，而只有其中一门课程获得及格分数. For example, ABC200 requires that the student concurrently take ABC201. The student earns an A in ABC200 but an F in ABC201. 学生必须重修这两门课程并同时通过这两门课程才能获得学位或证书的学分. The student can repeat both courses in order to receive credit toward the degree or certificate. The course descriptions in this Catalog & Student Handbook must stipulate this for the repeated courses to be eligible for financial aid.

4. When a course may be repeated and credit earned toward the degree or certificate each time it is taken. For example, as with physical education courses.

Reinstatement of Eligibility for New York State Programs

未能在州立项目中取得良好学术成绩的学生有几种恢复资格的选择.

• First, 学生可以尝试通过参加没有纽约州援助的课程来弥补他们的学术缺陷. If successful, the student could have their aid reinstated for a future semester.
• Second, the student can sit out from school for at least one calendar year. Upon returning to school, the student could be eligible in their first term for state financial aid. However, if the student has already utilized the equivalent of four TAP payments, 24 paypoints and has less than a 2.0 GPA, sitting out one year will not reinstate eligibility.
• Third, the student can request a one time Waiver of Good Academic Standing for Pop and/or SAP.

Waiver of Good Academic Standing for POP and/or SAP

一学期学业成绩不达标的学生，可申请放弃下学期学业成绩. For New York State programs, students may be granted only one waiver as an undergraduate student. Waiver applications and information are available in the Financial Aid Office. Waivers will be considered only for extraordinary circumstances. Extraordinary circumstances include the death of a parent, child or spouse; injury or severe illness of the student, student's spouse, parents or children; or other special circumstances. 学生必须提供情况证明和文件，证明情况已经得到控制或不会再次发生.

Waiver of C Average Requirement for New York State Programs: Students who fail to achieve a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better at the end of a semester (beginning 24th paypoint) may apply for a waiver for the next semester. Waivers will be considered as noted in the above section. Program changes will not assist students in making the C average requirement for the first semester in a new program.

Attendance and Registered Classes
You must be a registered student to be eligible for financial aid in any semester. 经济援助办公室认为注册学生是积极参与课程要求的学生, including class attendance. 你注册的学分数量的任何变化都可能影响该学期和未来学期的经济援助资格. Changes in registered courses may be student initiated by a withdrawal or drop, or can be instructor initiated due to lack of class attendance. The student is responsible for maintaining themselves as registered students for financial aid purposes.

Method and Frequency of Disbursement
经济援助通过计算机系统记入符合条件的学生账户，该系统将经济援助与学生账户办公室的学生账户联系起来. 符合条件的学生账户将在退学/加课期结束后，经核实出勤率后，由财政援助办公室持续记入账户. If your tuition and fee bill is completely paid and you have a credit balance, you will be issued a refund by mail or through EFT. The Student Accounts Office normally sends refund checks on a bi-weekly basis, or EFT semi-weekly, no sooner than the fifth week of classes. 在退款发放之前，学生应自行支付间接教育相关费用.

William D. Ford Federal Direct Student (Subsidized and Unsubsidized) Loan

Disbursed in two or more equal installments, (i.e. one in fall, one in spring) after the drop/add period ends each semester. 联邦法规要求直接补贴和非补贴斯塔福德贷款的第一次支付必须在整个第一年的贷款期开始后的30天内进行, first-time borrowers at MCC. All students must be registered and in attendance in at least 6 credits when the loan funds are disbursed. If not, the loan is canceled.

William D. Ford Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS)

Disbursed to the student's account. Credit balances are disbursed to either the student or parent directly. The Financial Aid Office sends the student a selection form.

Federal Return of Federal Title IV Funds Policy

The Financial Aid Office recalculates federal financial aid* eligibility for any student who completely withdraws, stops attending classes, or is dismissed during the semester, prior to 60% of the semester being completed. Recalculation is based on the percent of earned federal financial aid using the following formula:
% earned = number of days completed up to the withdrawal date** divided by total days in the semester

联邦财政援助根据非无偿援助的百分比返还给联邦政府，使用以下公式:
aid to be returned = amount of Federal Title IV Aid disbursed minus Federal Title IV aid earned

When federal financial aid is returned, the student may owe money to MCC and may also owe funds to the federal government. Students should contact the Student Accounts Office regarding any money owed to MCC.

*Federal financial aid for this calculation at MCC includes Federal Pell Grant, FSEOG, Federal Direct Student Loans and Federal Plus Loans.
**退学日期定义为学生开始退学程序的实际日期(请参阅MCC目录了解正式退学程序), 学生最后一次记录出勤日期或未通知MCC的学生离校的学期中点.
*** For students who receive all F's or a combination of F's and W's, 财政援助办公室将确认学生出席的最后日期，如果出席的最后日期是在本学期的60%点之前，将退还资金. 在这种情况下，退款将在学期结束后进行，如果学生重新计算，将通过电子邮件通知他们, and if so, will be billed by the Student Accounts Office.

Financial Aid Freeze Date

In accordance with federal and state regulations, 澳门官方娱乐游戏平台在每学期加/退期结束后设立一个“冻结日期”，以确定学生的入学状况，以便支付联邦佩尔助学金和州财政援助. Financial aid will only pay for courses that are required for your major and are added by the freeze date. Hours will be frozen at the end of the add/drop period. Students must be registered for all parts of term before the freeze date to receive Federal Pell and/or state aid for that class. Federal and state aid will not be available for classes added after hours have been frozen.
与延迟开始的课程相关的经济援助奖励金额将不会支付，直到这些课程的出勤确认. 学生应该在学期开始后的某个时间点注册课程时相应地计划经济援助退款. 在冻结日期之后追溯获得经济援助的学生将在颁发奖励时冻结学时，并且将根据当时的当前注册情况付款.
