Financial Aid

The Wake Tech Financial Aid program exists to ensure that no qualified student will be denied the opportunity to continue his or her education because of economic disadvantages. Through a program of scholarships, grants, work-study, and loans, students enrolled at the College are able to supplement their own resources and those of their families to complete a course of study. For detailed information on financial aid programs offered at Wake Technical Community College, and how they are distributed, refer to the publication available in the Financial Aid Office or online at http://financialaid.waketech.eduRefID#1300_Intro to Financial Aid_9-Students

Wake Technical Community College offers several different federal and state grant programs. Grants are gifts of financial aid and as such do not generally have to be repaid as long as a student remains enrolled each semester. Students who withdraw completely may be required to repay a portion of federal grant funds received.

Federal Grant Programs

FEDERAL PELL GRANTS
Student must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident enrolled in an eligible program; demonstrate financial need, and meet all other eligibility requirements. Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). For 2012-2013, annual awards range from $555-$5550. The maximum PELL-eligible Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) is 4995, with a minimum award for a full-time student of $602. Award ranges are subject to change based on if Congressional action.

Lifetime Eligibility for Federal Pell Grants
Effective July 1, 2012, Pell grants are limited to a lifetime maximum of the equivalent of twelve full time semesters or six years (or 600%) for community colleges, vocational schools, four-year public and private universities. Limits will be tracked by the Department of Education for each institution the student has attended.

A full year (100%) of eligibility is counted regardless of the amount of the grant received. For example, a student who is eligible for $3000 in Pell grant received $1000 in the fall term, $1500 in the spring term, and $500 in the summer term, has been awarded 100% for the year. Pell grants are only available to undergraduate students, so once a student has earned a bachelor's degree, he is no longer eligible for Pell, even if the 600% eligibility has not been met. Students are also required to meet and maintain satisfactory academic progress standards to maintain eligibility.
RefID#1302a_Grants_Pell_9-Students

FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANTS (FSEOG)
To be considered, students must be PELL-eligible and must have an EFC of zero. Students who submit the FAFSA by March 15 and all supplemental paperwork by May 1st, will receive priority consideration. Due to limited funding, the maximum award at Wake Tech is $800 per academic year. Awards will be reduced for students enrolled less than half-time.
RefID#1302b_Grants_FSEOG_9-Students

FEDERAL WORK STUDY PROGRAM
Federal work study provides part-time employment opportunities to students in need of financial assistance. Students generally work 10-15 hours per week. Awards are based on available funding. Student must complete the FAFSA in order to be considered for this grant and must demonstrate financial need. Student must be enrolled at least half-time in an eligible diploma or associate degree program and must maintain satisfactory academic progress to qualify for work study. Federal Work Study Earnings are paid on a monthly basis after a time record has been signed, approved, and processed by the Financial Aid Office.

A loan is money received that must be repaid to the lender.

WILLIAM D. FORD FEDERAL DIRECT LOAN PROGRAM

Direct Subsidized Loan
Direct subsidized loans are need-based: To qualify for a direct subsidized loan, a student must demonstrate financial need as a result of filing the FAFSA. Eligibility is determined by the institution; funds are provided by the U.S. Treasury and repaid to agencies designated by the U.S. Department of Education. The amount that may be borrowed per year ranges from $3500 to $5500 for undergraduates, depending on grade level; it is set by the federal government. Interest on the loan is paid by the government as long as the student is enrolled at least half time. The student becomes responsible for repayment (principal and interest) six months after graduating or dropping below half-time enrollment. **

**For new loans made between July 1, 2012, and July 1, 2014, interest accruing during the six-month grace period will not be paid by the federal government. The student is responsible for that interest, even though loan repayment does not begin until after the six-month grace period.

Direct Unsubsidized Loan
Direct unsubsidized loans are not need-based: To qualify for a direct unsubsidized loan, students must still complete a FAFSA. Eligibility is based on the cost of attendance minus other expected financial aid. Students are charged interest from the date the loan funds are disbursed. Annual maximums, interest rates, and repayment provisions are the same as those for direct subsidized loans.

Direct Loan for Parents
Parents of a dependent undergraduate student may apply for a PLUS loan to help meet costs of attendance not covered by other financial aid. Completion of a FAFSA is required, and parents must submit a PLUS Request form to the Financial Aid Office certifying costs of attendance and other financial aid anticipated. PLUS loans generally offer better interest rates and repayment options than other education loans. Repayment typically starts when funds are disbursed; however, deferments are available upon request.
RefID#1303a_Loans_9-Students

LOAN PROGRAM FOR HEALTH, SCIENCE, AND MATHEMATICS
In an effort to encourage and provide financial assistance to North Carolinians desiring career opportunities in the health, science, and mathematics disciplines, the General Assembly makes appropriations available for loans for the programs cited below:

• Health: Allied Health; Health Sciences
• Science: Computer and Information Science, Engineering and related technologies, Life Sciences, and Physical Science
• Mathematics: Mathematics (General, Pure, and Applied)
  

NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE LOAN PROGRAM

The North Carolina Community College System Office makes allocations to each community college for short-term loans to assist students who demonstrate financial need. Each community college administers the Loan Program according to its policies and procedures.

North Carolina Community College Loan Program Application (Emergency Loan)
The North Carolina Community College (NCCC) Loan Program provides limited, interest-free, short-term funds to students who meet the eligibility requirements below. The maximum loan amount is $500 per academic year. The academic year includes fall, spring, and summer. Students are limited to one loan per academic year.

Loan applications must be received by 5 p.m. on Tuesday. Loan proceeds checks are written once a week, on Thursdays, and are available for approved applicants to pick up (with picture ID) from the Main Campus Cashier’s Office after 4 p.m.

To be eligible, a student must:

• Be admitted to a curriculum program and enrolled in at least six (6) credit hours
• Submitted the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and be approved for financial aid for the term that the loan is requested
  
• Meet all other eligibility requirements for federal financial aid
  
• Submit documentation for loans $300 or more
  
• Cannot owe a prior term balance

The Wake Tech Foundation offers a variety of merit- and financial need-based scholarships for students at Wake Technical Community College.

Scholarship applications will be available in the spring of each academic year in the financial aid office and online at https://foundation.waketech.edu/scholarshipappinstructions

Merit-based scholarships are awarded at department and division levels. Students interested in these scholarships should contact their department head or dean to discuss the nomination process.

Students are strongly encouraged to apply for scholarships to help offset the rising cost of education.
RefID#1304_Scholarships_9-Students

After your financial aid has paid your tuition, fees, and book charges, any balance that remains in your account will be refunded to you. Refund checks are generally mailed 30 days after the last day of the schedule adjustment period. The check disbursement schedule for 2012-2013 will be posted on the website (http://financialaid.waketech.edu) by July 1, 2012.

TITLE IV REPAYMENT
A student who receives Title IV financial aid funds and subsequently withdraws from school (officially or unofficially) before the 60 percent point of a given semester or term may be required to repay Pell Grant, SEOG, or Direct Loan Program funds. Such repayments are determined by criteria established by the U.S. Secretary of Education. Financial aid is intended for educational expenses only, within a specified enrollment period; once a student is no longer enrolled at least half time he/she cannot use the funds.

If a student uses Title IV financial aid funds to register for a class, decides not to attend the class, yet fails to drop the class thereby, canceling the students' registration, the College must refund all tuition and fees to the applicable financial aid program – and the student must then repay the College for these expenses. Any books or supplies that have been purchased with the funds must be returned to the bookstore within the published refund period. Students who do not complete these tasks will be responsible for all charges, and if they fail to pay the charges a hold will be placed on their school records.

IF YOU WITHDRAW
It is imperative that you cancel your registration for any class you decide not to attend. This is especially important if you have been awarded financial aid, because your financial aid award holds your classes and prevents you from being automatically dropped for nonpayment. It is your responsibility to cancel your registration.

If you are considering withdrawing from Wake Technical Community College, we strongly urge you to speak to a Financial Aid Specialist to determine how withdrawing may affect you.
RefID#1305_Refunds and Repayment_9-Students

For financial aid purposes, full time enrollment is always considered twelve credit hours, regardless of whether the student is enrolled in the fall, spring, and/or summer semester. Students receiving veteran's benefits should contact their Wake Tech VA representative.

Enrollment requirements for financial aid programs are listed below:

In order to receive the maximum Pell Grant, a student must be enrolled for 12 credit hours or more each semester in an eligible program of study. Depending on eligibility a reduced Pell Grant can be received by students who are enrolled three-fourths time (9-11 credit hours), one-half time (6-8 credit hours), or less than half-time (1-5 credit hours). Only courses in your program of study can be included when determining your award for the semester. For example, if you are enrolled for twelve credit hours but you are taking a five credit hour course that is not part of your program of study, you will receive PELL Grant funds for seven credit hours only and not twelve credit hours although you are enrolled for twelve hours.

• Student must be enrolled at least halftime to receive funding from the North Carolina Community College Grant or the North Carolina Education Lottery Scholarship.
• Student must maintain continuous enrollment with a minimum of six credit hours to receive funding from the Direct Loan Program and be enrolled at least six credit hours at the time when funds are disbursed.
  

Vocational Rehabilitation is a public service program operated through the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, Department of Human Resources. Vocational Rehabilitation offers several financial resources to assist individuals with disabilities. Students may be eligible for financial assistance to complete a course of study to meet individualized needs. Prospective students should contact the nearest Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services office.

RefID#1307_Financial Aid for Students with Disabilities_9-Students

Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid Recipients
Effective July 1, 2011

Federal regulations require schools to monitor the academic progress of each student who applies for financial aid and to certify that each student applicant is making satisfactory academic progress toward a degree, diploma, or certificate. Federal regulations require schools to establish Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) that include qualitative and quantitative measures of progress and a timeframe for completion of a program of study.

These standards are applied to students who receive financial aid from any of the following programs: Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant, North Carolina Community College Grant, North Carolina Education Lottery Scholarship, North Carolina Student Incentive Grant, Federal Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans, Federal Direct PLUS loans, and institutional grants, scholarships and loans. Students’ academic performance is evaluated at the end of each semester of enrollment. Any student not meeting the minimum standards outlined below will be given financial aid warning status and notified by email from the Financial Aid Office. The student must meet the minimum requirements by the end of the financial aid warning semester; if not, financial aid will be terminated until the standards are met.

Pre-Curriculum Coursework
Although pre-curriculum courses do not count toward completion of a degree, federal regulations require that pre-curriculum courses be included when calculating cumulative GPA and cumulative completion rate for the purpose of determining Satisfactory Academic Progress for financial aid recipients. Federal regulations also state that students may not receive financial aid (including grants and loans) for more than 30 credit hours of precurriculum coursework. Students who exceed this limit will be denied financial aid, and denial cannot be appealed. Students are limited to one Direct Loan for completion of pre-curriculum coursework.

Qualitative: Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) Requirement
In accordance with federal regulations, a student’s cumulative GPA must be reviewed at the end of each semester of attendance, including summer.

1. Students must have earned a cumulative 2.0 GPA when grades are reviewed at the end of the semester.

2. Students who do not earn the required cumulative 2.0 GPA will be placed on financial aid warning for their next semester of attendance.
3. While on financial aid warning, the student remains eligible for financial aid:
   
1. If the student earns a cumulative 2.0 GPA (or higher) by the end of the financial aid warning semester, the warning will be lifted (provided the student meets all other SAP guidelines).
2. If the student does not earn a cumulative 2.0 GPA by the end of the financial aid warning semester, financial aid will be terminated. The student will not qualify for financial aid effective the next semester of attendance until such time as the student again meets all SAP guidelines.
   

Quantitative: Completion Rate Requirement
In accordance with federal regulations, students must successfully complete at least 67% of cumulative credits attempted in order to meet the requirements for financial aid. For example, if a student has attempted 60 credit hours during enrollment, he/she must successfully complete 40 or more of those hours. Student completion rates are reviewed at the end of each semester of attendance, including summer.

1. Students must earn a cumulative 67% completion rate. Grades are reviewed at the end of each semester.

2. Students who do not earn a cumulative 67% completion rate will be placed on financial aid warning for their next semester of attendance.
3. While on financial aid warning, the student remains eligible for financial aid:
   
1. If the student completes sufficient credits to earn a 67% completion rate by the end of the financial aid warning semester, the warning will be lifted (provided the student meets all other SAP guidelines).
2. If the student does not complete sufficient credits to earn a 67% completion rate by the end of the financial aid warning semester, financial aid will be terminated. The student will not qualify for financial aid effective the next semester of attendance until such time as the student again meets all SAP guidelines.
   

Maximum Time Frame
The maximum time frame within which to complete a degree (or other program of study) is 150% of the published length of the program. For example, if the published length of a program of study is 64 semester hours, a student may attempt up to 96 semester hours (64 x 150% = 96). To determine the published length of a program, please refer to the Wake Technical Community College Academic Catalog.

A student who exceeds the maximum allowable time frame for completing a program of study may appeal. The student must provide a graduation plan signed by his/her academic advisor; if the plan is deemed reasonable, the student will receive financial aid on a probationary basis for one or more semesters until the degree is completed. Failure to comply with the plan will result in termination of financial aid.

Appeals
Students may appeal the termination of their financial aid eligibility in the event of documented extenuating circumstances, such as illness or injury of the student or the death of an immediate family member. The appeal must address why the student failed to make satisfactory progress and what has changed in the student’s situation that will allow the student to demonstrate satisfactory academic progress in the future. Appeals must be submitted in writing to the Financial Aid Office and addressed to the director. The Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeals Committee will review the appeal and notify the student in writing regarding the status of the appeal. Students are limited to two termination appeals requests while attending Wake Tech. All requests for appeals must be submitted according to the following timetable:

• Fall semester appeals must be submitted by August 1
• Spring semester appeals must be submitted by December 1
• Summer semester appeals must be submitted by May 1
  

If the date indicated above falls on a weekend or holiday, the appeal is due the next business day.

Students whose appeals have been approved will be placed on financial aid probation for their next semester of attendance. The student will, in conjunction with the SAP committee, develop an individualized academic plan that must be followed in order to continue enrollment. The plan may include requirements for academic performance, meetings with an academic advisor, or Wake Tech counseling services. Students who meet these requirements will continue to be on probation for the next semester, and a new academic plan will be developed. Continued eligibility for financial aid is contingent on meeting the requirements of each semester’s academic plan. Financial aid probation status will not end until the student successfully establishes a cumulative 2.0 GPA and 67% completion rate. Failure to meet the requirements of the academic plan will result in termination of financial aid the next semester of attendance.

Treatment of Selected Grades

Withdrawals: Credit hours in which a student receives a grade of “W”, “WP”, and “F” are included in the number of hours attempted but do not count toward successfully completed hours; consequently, students who withdraw may have difficulty meeting the satisfactory progress requirements.

Incompletes: Students will not be affected by “incompletes” at the time of the review.

Transfer Credit: Students transferring from another institution will be considered making satisfactory progress at the time of enrollment. A student’s maximum timeframe for receiving financial aid will be reduced by the number of transferred credit hours applied towards his/her program of study at Wake Tech.

Audits: An audit (AU) grade is not considered attempted coursework. It is not included in the determination of grade point average or completion rate. A student cannot receive financial aid for an audited course.

Credit by examination: Credit hours earned by examination are considered attempted and completed coursework and therefore will be considered in calculating a student’s completion rate. Financial aid does not pay for credit hours earned by examination.

Repeated course: Although Wake Tech policy allows a student to repeat any course twice, with the best grade being used to calculate the student's cumulative GPA, federal financial aid regulations treat repeated courses differently. While students may continue to receive federal financial aid for repeated courses, all hours attempted and earned (previous and best) are counted toward the student's cumulative total and the calculation of satisfactory academic progress. Students are permitted to receive financial aid only once for a previously passed course.

Summer terms: Credit hours attempted and earned during summer term will be included in the calculation of satisfactory academic progress, just as those earned during any other enrollment period.

Successful completion: A grade of A, B, C, D, X, or P is considered successful course completion. A grade of F is not considered a successful completion.

ELIGIBILITY STATUS

Satisfactory: Students who have met the criteria explained above, cumulative GPA of 2.0 and cumulative completion rate of 67%, have satisfactory status.

Financial Aid Warning: Students who have not earned the required GPA or completion rate will be placed on financial aid warning for the following semester. Satisfactory academic progress will be monitored at the end of each semester to determine if the student meets the standards and is eligible to continue to receive financial aid.

Financial Aid Termination: Students on financial aid warning status who have not successfully earned a cumulative GPA of 2.0 and cumulative completion rate of 67% at the conclusion of the warning period will have their financial aid terminated. Financial aid will also be terminated for students who have attempted the maximum allowable credit hours for their program of study.

Financial Aid Probation: Students whose appeals have been approved by the Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeals Committee are placed on financial aid probation.

Notification of Financial Aid Termination or Warning: The Financial Aid Office will send an email to any student who is placed on financial aid warning or terminated; however, failure to receive correspondence does not negate a termination or warning status.

Regaining Eligibility: Students who continue to attend school without federal financial aid may regain eligibility for financial aid by earning a cumulative GPA of 2.0 and a cumulative completion rate of 67%. A student may request reconsideration of eligibility for financial aid by submitting a written request to the Financial Aid Office once all requirements are met.

Petition of Waiver of Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards: Students who have been disqualified from receiving financial aid may request a waiver of the satisfactory progress requirements by submitting a Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeals Form, if extenuating circumstances have affected academic performance. The circumstances must be explained and documented in writing and submitted to the Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeals Committee. Extenuating circumstances may include but are not limited to illness or injury of the student or an immediate family member, death of a family member, and full-time employment. If the student’s financial aid is reinstated, the student is expected to meet the satisfactory academic progress standards by the end of the semester. All appeals are reviewed by the SAP Appeals Committee, and the decision of the Committee is final. Appeals are not retroactive; they are approved for the current semester only. The Committee is composed of the Financial Aid Director, the College Registrar, an Academic Counselor, and a faculty member.

Returning students are evaluated on a continuing basis from the last enrollment, unless an extenuating circumstance is considered. Returning students who enrolled under an earlier academic progress policy will be required to meet the standards of the current policy upon returning.

Complete academic record: To measure a student’s satisfactory progress toward degree, diploma, or certificate requirements, the student’s complete academic record at Wake Tech must be evaluated, whether or not the student received aid for the entire time of enrollment. Any course grades of W or WF that were forgiven by Wake Tech must be included in a student’s cumulative record when determining satisfactory academic progress standards. When students complete coursework for more than one major, academic progress standards for each major must be met to receive student aid.

NOTE: Warning status or termination status due to failure to make satisfactory academic progress can be changed only by successfully completing classes – a student may not improve his or her status by simply "sitting out" a semester. Once the student meets both SAP requirements – a cumulative GPA of 2.0 and a cumulative completion rate of 67% – the student's status will change and he or she will be considered in good standing for financial aid.

The Financial Aid Director (or designee) is the person authorized by Wake Technical Community College to provide financial aid information to students. Office hours: 8 a.m.-7 p.m., Monday-Thursday, and 8 a.m.-4 p.m. on Friday.

Website: http://veterans.waketech.edu

Most Wake Tech programs are approved for the training of veterans, Ready Reservists, North Carolina National Guard members, and the spouses and children of deceased or 100-percent disabled veterans. Veterans who wish to use the education benefits of the G.I. Bill must first establish their eligibility with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) by submitting a Form 22-1990, Application for VA Education Benefits, or by applying online at www.gibill.va.gov. Veterans separated from service within the last ten years who hold an Honorable Discharge usually qualify for the education benefits, which provide, in general, 36 months of full-time training.

Veterans who have served on active duty on or after September 11, 2001, may be eligible for Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits. Benefits are payable for training on or after August 1, 2009. More information about these benefits are available at www.gibill.va.gov.

Certain military personnel on active duty are also eligible for education benefits under the G.I. Bill. Interested persons should contact their duty station Education Officer for details before applying for admission to the College.

Veterans attending Wake Tech under the G.I. Bill receive a monthly reimbursement from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The reimbursement is based on course load; for example, a veteran carrying a half-time load would receive half the benefit. To receive the full benefit, the veteran must be enrolled for at least 12 credit hours. Veterans should contact the College VA certifying official, located in the Financial Aid Office, for more information.

Veterans are afforded the same rights as any Wake Tech student and must meet the same academic requirements and standards. Veterans will not be certified for VA benefits until all entrance/admissions criteria, including official high school and college transcripts, if applicable, are on file. Transfer credit granted from prior college experience must also be on file.

Veterans must meet the grade-point average (GPA) standards established in Wake Tech’s Academic Probation and Suspension policy. A veteran failing to meet GPA standards at the end of a term will be placed on academic probation. A veteran failing to meet those standards at the end of the next term in attendance will have his enrollment certification to the VA terminated. Certification of enrollment to the VA will not be restored until GPA standards are met, and then only upon request by the veteran.

Veterans dropped from a course by the College for violating the attendance policy will be immediately reported to the VA, and appropriate adjustments will be made in G.I. Bill payments.

ENROLLMENT OF VETERANS IN NON-TRADITIONAL COURSES
Veterans receiving VA education benefits may enroll in non-traditional courses (including telecourses, Internet and videocassette courses, independent studies, and others) provided that:

• The course or courses are required by their current program of study.
• The veteran has passed any previous non-traditional courses attempted.
• All remedial work indicated by placement testing has been completed.
• The veteran has met with the VA certifying official to discuss policies and procedures before registering for a course.
• The veteran has reviewed the Distance Education Student Self-Assessment on the Wake Tech website (or in the schedule of classes) to determine if suited for distance learning.

There is no additional charge for enrolling in non-traditional courses.

For more information about veterans’ educational benefits, visit http://veterans.waketech.edu
RefID#1309_Veteran Affairs_9-Students

Any student who transfers to Wake Technical Community College from any other school beyond high school must provide official transcripts from all schools attended, including high school. The transcripts must be evaluated by Wake Technical Community College before there can be an offer of financial aid or certification of eligibility for Veterans education benefits.
