Northeast Texas Community College :: Start here ... Go Anywhere!

The Financial Aid Office provides grants, scholarships, short-term loans, and/or job opportunities. These aid opportunities are provided in the belief that education should not be controlled by the financial resources of students. The amount and type of aid a student may receive depends on the availability of funds and the student’s established financial need.

Any applicant who is married, 24 years of age or older, a graduate/professional student, orphaned or a ward of the Court, a veteran of the U.S. armed forces, or has legal dependents other than a spouse may be considered self-supporting.

Federal and state funding not used to pay tuition and fees, books, or room and board charges will be disbursed to the student. This amount should be reported on the student/parent federal income tax.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR ELIGIBILITY

Male applicants who are at least 18 years old and were born after December 31, 1960, must be registered with the Selective Service as required by federal regulations.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES

Students needing financial assistance must complete these steps each year:

Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on-line at http:/ /www.fafsa.ed.gov. Students are encouraged to apply online to expedite the financial aid process. Computers for student use are available in the LRC, Career Opportunity Center or Enrollment Management.
Student and/or parents may be required to furnish the Financial Aid Office a copy of their income tax form if they are marked for verification by the Department of Education.
Complete a NTCC financial aid packet with all pertinent documents filled out and returned.
Transfer Students will be required to furnish an academic college transcript from the last school attended.
Turn in all required materials to the Financial Aid Office by priority date in order

to have financial assistance available during registration. Students who need financial assistance are encouraged to complete their application well in advance of registration for the semester they wish to attend.

Important Dates-Although an application for financial aid may be submitted at any time during the term, priority is given to students who complete their file with the financial aid office by the dates recommended below:

Fall Semester - June 1 Spring Semester - October 1 Summer - April 1 Students whose files are completed after these dates cannot be assured of

funding availability for registration purposes. EARLY application allows the Financial Aid Office time to prepare a realistic financial aid package.

FINANCIAL AID STUDENTS WITHDRAWING FROM COURSES

In accordance with Federal regulations, you will be required to repay all or a portion of your financial aid if you withdraw before 60% of the semester is completed. The amount to be repaid will be reported to the U.S. Department of Education and you will be ineligible for any federal financial aid at any school until the amount owed is repaid. In addition, a hold will be placed on your NTCC records. If you are contemplating withdrawing before the 60% point in the semester, you need to report to the Financial Aid office so that the amount you must repay can be calculated.

FUNDING FOR SUMMER SCHOOL

Summer only transfer students are not eligible for financial aid at NTCC unless they have eligibility left on Pell.

Pell and TPEG Grant funding are the only forms of financial aid offered during summer sessions. TPEG is limited and based on funds available. To be considered for summer Pell Grant funding, a student must:

have remaining eligibility from their current academic year Student Aid Report, OR have a completed financial aid file for the current academic year on file in the financial aid office.
be maintaining satisfactory academic progress (see policy below for details).
enroll for at least 3 credit hours.

SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS POLICY

The United States Department of Education guidelines require the Financial Aid Office at Northeast Texas Community College to monitor a student's satisfactory academic progress. Satisfactory academic progress (SAP) will be evaluated each semester (Fall and Spring), before financial aid is extended for the following term. One semester of non-compliance with the SAP Policy will result in the student being placed on PROBATION during which time the student will continue to receive financial aid. The second consecutive semester a student attends with non-compliance will place the student on SUSPENSION and no further aid can be awarded. Students on PROBATION and SUSPENSION will be notified by mail after grades are posted each semester to the address on file.

Satisfactory academic progress for financial aid is accomplished through the following measures:

MINIMUM GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA). Students receiving aid must maintain a cumulative 2.0 GPA each semester.

A transfer student from another college must have a cumulative 2.0 GPA as evidenced by an academic transcript. If no academic transcript is available at the time of the award, the student may be awarded on a probationary basis for one semester.

MINIMUM COMPLETION REQUIREMENT

For financial aid purposes only, grades of ‘F’, ‘I’, or ‘NC’ on a NTCC transcript will be counted as hours attempted, with no grade points.
A student who received aid for 12 credit hours or more must complete a minimum of 9 credit hours.
A student who received aid for 9-11 credit hours or 6-8 credit hours must complete a minimum of 6 credit hours.
A student who received aid for 5 credit hours or less must complete all hours.

MAXIMUM TIME FRAME. Students may not receive aid for hours exceeding 150% of the published length of the program for a full-time student or completion of a degree. NTCC uses its longest program, 72 hours, as a basis for determining the 150% amount for all programs. Therefore, the maximum amount of hours for a student at NTCC may not exceed 108 attempted credit hours (72 x 150%). All attempted hours at NTCC will be counted toward the 108 attempted credit hour limit, regardless of whether financial aid was received or not. Taking extra (non-degree) courses may exhaust financial aid eligibility prior to the completion of a degree or certificate.

Students must be pursuing an eligible degree or certificate to be eligible for financial aid. Developmental or remedial courses may be considered for funding if required as a prerequisite to enable the student to successfully complete a degree or certificate objective. Remedial courses are funded up to a maximum of 30 semester hours.

Repeat courses may be considered for funding not to exceed one repetition for funding purposes. Financial aid does not cover courses successfully completed.

TO REINSTATE FINANCIAL AID

To regain eligibility for financial aid, suspended students have the following options to reinstate their aid:

OPTION 1:

The student may attend NTCC with funds other than financial aid, complete 75% of hours attempted, and maintain a cumulative 2.0 GPA. (A student who receives aid for 5 credit hours or less must complete all hours.) After the requirements have been met, at the student's expense, they will then be eligible to receive aid the following semester. It is the student's responsibility to notify and provide documentation to the Financial Aid Office that the above requirements have been met.

OPTION 2:

The student may submit an appeal to the Financial Aid Office. The appeal request must be made, in writing, to the Dean of Enrollment Management. The appeal should include the following:

The required appeal form. The form is available either in the Financial Aid Office or on the NTCC website (www.ntcc.edu) under the forms link.
Personal statement that includes explanation of extenuating circumstances and resolution or plan of action explaining what will ensure your future academic success.
Documentation such as letter from doctor, death notice, car repair receipt, etc.

The written appeal will be reviewed by the Dean of Enrollment Management and the student will be notified by mail of the decision. The Dean's decision is final.

If a student fails to make satisfactory progress resulting in a second suspension of financial aid, the period of suspension will be twelve months, completing at least twelve credit hours.

Even though a student maintains eligibility based on the above criteria, the student can lose financial aid if he/she fails to complete 50% of the courses attempted over any academic year.

STUDENT FINANCIAL AID FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSES

Tuition assistance is available for eligible individuals who wish to enroll in Continuing Education courses. The Texas Public Education Grant (TPEG) may be used for course tuition only and there is no reimbursement for pre-paid tuition bills. Financial aid will be awarded for up to 75-100% of course tuition, but not to exceed a total amount of $500. The standard Free Application for Federal Student Aid must be completed eight weeks prior to registering for the class. Awards will be based on determined eligibility and available state funding.
