 Federal Financial Aid is financial assistance provided to students who fill out the FAFSA application and meet the requirements. Financial aid can include: ◦ Pell Grant ◦ Oregon Opportunity Grant ◦ Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant ◦ Federal Work-Study ◦ William D. Ford Direct Stafford Loans ◦ Parent PLUS Loan

 Determined by FAFSA ◦ Household size ◦ Income ◦ Federal Benefits (SNAP) ◦ Child support ◦ Citizenship or eligible non-citizen status ◦ Major ◦ Previous aid used ◦ Previous academic history ◦ Defaulted student loans ◦ Previous drug convictions while receiving aid

 Basic information: Name, Address, DOB, SSN, Citizenship status  Income information: Students can link their FAFSA with the IRS or type in their income from their 1040  Parents information: If the student is under 24 by the first day to apply for that years FAFSA  FAFSA Pin Number

 FAFSA randomly selects some students for verification  Verification means that the Financial Aid Office has to collect documents determined by FAFSA  These documents must be reviewed  If anything is missing or does not match the documents turned in, the Financial Aid Office is required to update FAFSA before we can process an award

 Documents that can be asked for include ◦ Household size verification ◦ Tax return transcripts or W2s if the student was not require to file taxes ◦ SNAP documentation ◦ Childcare cost documentation ◦ Child support verification ◦ Selective service documentation ◦ High school completion documentation ◦ Identity documentation ◦ Citizenship documentation ◦ Other documents as needed

 FAFSA submits applications to schools that the students put on their application  Submitted to schools in large batches, sometimes this can be several thousand at a time  Applications go through a series of checks before they are loaded into Banner  Banner upgrades at the beginning of the year often cause delays

 Priority Deadlines ◦ It takes several weeks for students to go through the financial aid process ◦ Students who want to guarantee their aid for an upcoming term should review and make sure they meet the priority deadlines on the financial aid website Term you plan to start FAFSA submitted by Satisfy requirements by Summer 2013February 15, 2013April 15, 2013 Fall 2013April 15, 2013July 1, 2013 Winter 2014July 15, 2013September 1, 2013 Spring 2014October 15, 2014January 1, 2014

 Students must make acceptable payment arrangements ◦ Third Party funding ◦ Payment plan  Financial aid can still come in during the term  Students who are not awarded have to pay out of pocket for books as well as tuition and fees  Students may choose to wait until the following term

 Satisfactory Academic Progress ◦ Good ◦ Warning ◦ Suspension ◦ Probation ◦ Probation with an academic plan  What Financial aid looks at ◦ Cumulative GPA must be 2.0 or higher ◦ Students must complete 2/3rds of attempted credits  These are Federal requirements

 Time Frame Extension ◦ Students must complete with 150% of the number of credits required for their degree  These are Federal requirements ◦ Students within 36 credits (a standard academic year) must submit a Time Frame Extension ◦ Students must create an academic planner for required coursework

 Return of Title IV funds ◦ When a student withdraws or doesn’t pass any coursework for a term  Determined by the percentage of a term that the student completes  Can result in the student owing part, or all of their financial aid back  These are Federal regulations

 Repeat coursework ◦ Financial aid can only pay for a student to take a course two times.  If a student takes a course and either withdraws or receives an “F” the student can retake the course until they receive a “D” or higher.  Students may take a course more than twice, but the course can not be counted in the number of credits that determines the students level of eligibility  These are Federal regulations
