*Students must utilize the U.S. Department of Education’s website (www.fasfa.gov) to complete the FAFSA. All applicants must obtain a Federal Personal Identification Number (PIN), which can be obtained at www.pin.ed.gov
Student Eligibility Requirements For Federal Financial Aid

Federal Financial Aid Programs
Federal Work-Study Program (FWSP)
These need based awards enable students to work in order to earn funds to help pay for their cost of attendance expenses and are determined by the federal needs analysis from information provided on the FAFSA. Employment placement and the amount students can earn depend on the availability of funds and job sites. Continued eligibility for FWS employment is contingent upon continued satisfactory academic progress, attendance, and job performance. Students must begin the application process at the Office of Student Financial Services to determine their eligibility. If eligible, they will be sent to the Office of Career Advancement (OCA). Authorization and job placement is contingent upon successful completion of OCA requirements and the availability of a job assignment.
Federal Direct Loan Program
This federal loan program enables eligible applicants to obtain student loans to meet their cost of attendance expenses. Students must be matriculated and enrolled in a minimum of 6 credits. Loan amounts may vary based on the need to pro-rate a loan in a student’s last semester. Interest rates, fees and repayment terms are determined by federal statute and may vary by the year students obtain their initial loan.
To determine loan eligibility students must complete the FAFSA.
Students must complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN) and an Entrance Interview at studentloans.gov to ensure that all borrower rights and responsibilities are understood. Loans cannot be disbursed until Entrance counseling is complete. Students need their federal PIN to complete the above.
Federal Direct Subsidized Student Loan
The federal government pays the interest on behalf of the borrower while the student is enrolled at least half -time in college, during the six-month grace period, and during times of authorized deferment and forbearance. Repayment of the loan begins six months after the student graduates or the student’s enrollment status changes to less than half-time.
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Student Loan Program
Unlike the subsidized loan program, interest on unsubsidized loans disbursed is paid by the borrower, not by the federal government and begins when the loan is disbursed. Students have the option of paying these interest charges while attending school. If they choose not to pay the interest, it will accrue and be capitalized. Repayment of the loan begins six months after the student graduates or the student’s enrollment status changes to less than half-time.

Exit Counseling
All recipients of a Federal Direct Loan who withdraw, drop below six (6) credits, or graduate must complete an exit counseling session on the web at NSLDS.ed.gov. Students will need their federal PIN to access this website. During this counseling session, students will be able to view their loan history and learn about deferral and repayment options.
Repayment: The repayment of Federal Direct loans begins six (6) months after a student graduates or drops below half-time status. The calculation of the amount of the monthly repayment is based upon the total amount that has been borrowed, as well as the repayment plan selected. Students can visit studentloans.gov or NSLDS.ed.gov and click on the link “Repayment Plans and Calculators” to learn more.
Non- Federal Loans
Students in need of funds beyond those available from federal, state, college and outside grants, scholarships, work study and federal loans may seek non-federal loans. Students should carefully research these options as interest rates, fees and loan terms vary widely among loan providers.
Students must obtain a Self Certification form from the Student Financial Services Office that must be submitted to their lender upon approval of the non-federal loan.
Standards Of Academic Progress For Title Iv Eligibility
To remain eligible for Title IV aid, students must make satisfactory progress towards completion of their degree. Satisfactory progress is measured by a qualitative standard (students must maintain a minimum GPA) and a quantitative standard (students must earn a percentage of credits attempted.)
Qualitative Standards
• Students are expected to maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA.
• Cumulative GPA’s will be reviewed at the end of each semester.
• If a student’s cumulative GPA falls below 2.0, he/she will be dismissed.
• If a student’s cumulative GPA falls between 2.0-2.99, he/she will be placed on academic probation.
• A student must achieve a 3.0 GPA by the end of his/her probationary semester.
Quantitative Standard
Students are expected to make satisfactory progress toward the completion of their degree. To demonstrate satisfactory progress, students must complete 66.66% of the courses they have attempted. (Percentages will be rounded up to a whole number) Students who fail to achieve this standard will be placed in a federal warning status.
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF CREDITS ATTEMPTED
Students receiving federal aid must complete their degrees within 150% of the normal time for completion. Graduate students may not attempt more than 54 credits to earn 36 credits needed for the Masters Degree. Students who change their degree will have their quantitative standards of progress calculated from the time of the change of degree, and all credits applicable to the new degree will be counted.
DETERMINATION OF CREDITS ATTEMPTED AND EFFECT ON GPA
WITHDRAWALS
Withdrawals will be considered course attempts but will not count towards a student’s grade point average.
ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWALS
Administrative Withdrawals will be considered course attempts and will count towards a student’s grade point average, with the grade equivalent of an F.
REPEAT COURSES
Repeated courses will be considered course attempts. A course can only be attempted twice. The highest passing grade will replace the lowest grade.
INCOMPLETES
Incompletes will be considered course attempts and prior to any grade change, will be calculated as an F.
TRANSFER CREDITS, PROFICIENCY EXAMS, PRIOR LEARNING ASSESSMENT, AND OTHER TEST BASED CREDITS
All transfer or test based credits earned will count as credits attempted and credits earned but will not count towards a student’s grade point average.
Federal SAP Warning Status
Students who fail to achieve the quantitative standards outlined are placed in a warning status and remain eligible for Title IV aid. However, they must meet standards by the end of their next payment period. If they do not achieve the required standard, they lose their Title IV eligibility.
Loss Of Title IV Eligibility
A student who falls into one of the following categories will be subject to loss of Title IV eligibility:
1. Students who fail to achieve a 3.0 GPA after one semester of academic probation.
2. Students who fail to achieve the quantitative standards by the end of their “warning” semester.
3. Students who attempt more than 150% of the credits required for the completion of their degree.
SAP Appeal
Students who fail to make Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) or fail to complete their degree within the maximum timeframe may appeal the loss of their Title IV eligibility. If the appeal is granted, the student will be placed on probation or an academic plan. The student remains eligible for Title IV aid during the probationary period or as long as the plan is successfully followed.
Students can initiate appeals at the King Graduate School Office or Office of Student Financial Services on their respective campus. SAP appeals are considered on a case-by-case basis where extenuating circumstances prevented the student from meeting SAP requirements. Documentation of the circumstances and an explanation of how the student’s circumstances have changed to now enable him/her to meet SAP requirements after one probationary period or by following a customized academic plan.
Non-Matriculated And Non-Title Iv Semesters
During semesters in which the student is non-matriculated or in which the student does not receive any Title IV assistance, all appropriate courses taken will count as courses attempted for the cumulative quantitative and qualitative analysis.
Treatment Of Nonstandard Situations
1. Transfer Students
For the purpose of satisfactory academic progress, transfer credits will be accepted toward the degree as both credits attempted and credits earned.
2. Second Degree Students
Students pursuing a second degree shall measure satisfactory academic progress by counting the credits accepted toward the second degree as both credits attempted and credits earned.
3. Change of Major/Change of Degree
Students who change majors will calculate their standards of progress from the time of the change of major and include all credits applicable to the degree.
Foundation Courses (Graduate Programs)
• A grade of B is required in all Foundation Courses
• A student who does not earn a B, may be put on probation and must earn a B the second time the course is taken.

Withdrawal Policies
Refund Policy
Cancellation Prior to Commencement of Classes by Student
There will be no financial liability for students who withdraw prior to the commencement of classes with the exception of the non-refundable charges and any incurred bookstore liability.
Withdrawal from College after Commencement of Classes
Official Withdrawal: The student’s withdrawal date is the date that the college is provided with “official” notice of withdrawal. Official notice occurs when the King Graduate School Student Services Office, or any other school official, is notified of intent to withdraw. Notification can be:
1. In person
2 By telephone
3. By letter
4. By email
5. By fax
The college strongly recommends an in-person visit so that withdrawal can be expedited. One-on-one counseling is provided which results in students being well informed regarding all the ramifications of their specific withdrawal, which may include a delay in graduation, potential financial liability and/or potential loss of future financial aid due to academic standards of progress.
Unofficial Withdrawal: An unofficial withdrawal takes place when a student does not provide the college with official notification. In such cases, the withdrawal date for unofficially withdrawn students will be determined based on the last date of attendance in an academic activity.
Financial Responsibilities for both Official and Unofficial Withdrawals
If a student withdraws or is dismissed after classes begin, he/she will be responsible for the administrative fee, actual bookstore charges and a percentage of tuition as shown on the following chart: (See additional charts for Housing and Meal Plan cost adjustments as a result of withdrawing from the college.)
Withdrawal Date Amount of Tuition Liability
During the 1st week 10%
During the 2nd week 30%
During the 3rd week 50%
During the 4th week 60%
During the 5th week 70%
During the 6th week 75%
During the 7th week 75%
During the 8th week 80%
During the 9th week and after 100%
Students who do not officially withdraw from the college by the twelfth week of the semester will receive grades submitted by the faculty.
Students who withdraw or are administratively withdrawn from the college must satisfy all financial obligations with the Bursar.
Housing and Meal Plan Refund Policy
Refunds will be processed only after the withdrawal and move-out procedures have been completed. Students who are administratively terminated from housing for violating College and Residence Life policies are ineligible for a refund.
If a student withdraws from the college or decides to move out of the dorm during the semester, the student’s liability is as follows:
Student’s Liability for Cost of Dorm.
During the 1st week 15%
During the 2nd week 15%
During the 3rd week 50%
During the 4th week 50%
During the 5th week or after 100%
Meal Plan
If a student leaves the college and had the meal plan, the student’s refund is based on the dormitory refund policy. However, the highest actual percentage will be used. Example: Student left at end of 3rd week. The college’s refund policy is 50%; however, the student used 60% of the meals he was entitled to and, therefore, will be responsible for 60% of the cost of the meal plan.
Unused funds related to the meal plan are not refundable if the student has not withdrawn from the college.
Examples of Refund Policy
Examples of the refund policy are available in the Office of Student Financial Services. Students are urged to confer with the Graduate Financial Services Advisor to determine the financial consequences of their withdrawal from the college.
Student Retention of Financial Aid as a Result of a Withdrawal
TITLE IV
The Federal Department of Education regulates the treatment of all federal grants and loans. For those students who withdraw during a semester, the college is required to exercise the “Return to Title IV calculation (R2T4)
The R2T4 is based on the number of days in the semester divided by the number of days attended up to the last date of attendance in academic activity. This provides the percentage of Title IV aid a student has “earned”.
For example, if the semester is 100 days, and a student’s last date of attendance in an academic activity falls on the 43rd day of the semester, the formula used would be 43 / 100 or 43 percent. This percentage would then be applied to the Title IV aid disbursed, and/or the aid that can be potentially disbursed, in order to determine how much aid can be used by the student and how much needs to be returned. Any “earned” percentage greater than 60 will yield the student 100% retention of all eligible Title IV aid.
The order in which funds are returned is also determined by the U.S. Department of Education. Funds are required to be returned as follows:
First Direct Unsubsidized Loan
Second Direct Subsidized Loan
Third Direct Graduate PLUS Loans
Monroe Grants And Scholarships
Withdrawn students will have their awards pro-rated based on their percentage of tuition liability. Students whose withdrawal date takes place during or after the ninth week of the semester will retain 100% of their awards.
Balance Due And Over Awards
Students are responsible for open balances resulting from withdrawal. Students are also responsible for any aid proceeds received in the form of a refund for which they are no longer eligible. Monroe College encourages all students who need to withdraw to take advantage of one-on-one counseling available during an official on-site withdrawal.
Books, Equipment, and Supplies
Students are fully responsible for the purchase of their books, equipment and supplies and these are non-institutional charges.
Withdrawal from Individual Classes
This policy applies to students who withdraw from individual class(es) but remain matriculated at the college.
Students who withdraw from one or more classes after the add/drop period are liable for full tuition charges.
Semester Leave
Students who wish to take a Semester Leave for a full semester may do so without losing matriculated status. Monroe College does not approve partial semester leaves.
The procedure requires the student to inform the King Graduate School of a planned Semester Leave. Students who request a Semester Leave for 4 months (one semester) after completing an academically successful semester will be allowed to return in good standing upon completion of the re-admission process. Students who do not take advantage of the Semester Leave process will be considered a “failure to register” and, upon return, will be required to apply for re-admission and may lose their Monroe Scholarships and institutional grants for the returning semester.
NOTE: Students who do not attend the Spring semester are not required to complete a formal application for readmission, but must be authorized to register by the King Graduate School.
The College Day
Administrative offices are normally open from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday and from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Friday, and 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday.
