Financial Aid Federal Pell Grant Program

The Federal Pell Grant provides financial aid to eligible students for tuition, lab and registration fees. Eligibility is determined by a Financial Aid staff member. Students must have a high school diploma or GED®. The Federal Pell Grant supports TTI CTE programs of 600 or more hours. Students must be enrolled a minimum of 225 hours per semester.

A Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application must be completed online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Please include Taylor Technical Institute's school code 031008.

Ability to Benefit

Public Law 112-74 amended HEA section 484(d) to eliminate Federal student aid eligibility for students without a “certificate of graduation from a school providing secondary education or the recognized equivalent of such a certificate.” The law makes an exception for students who have completed a secondary school education in a home school setting that is treated as a home school or private school under State law. Therefore, students who do not have a high school diploma or a recognized equivalent (GED®), or do not meet the home school requirements, and who first enroll in a program of study on or after July 1, 2012, will not be eligible to receive Title IV student aid. Students will qualify for Title IV student aid under one of the ability-to-benefit (ATB) alternatives if the student was enrolled in a Title IV eligible program prior to July 1, 2012. Those alternatives include the student passing an independently administered, approved ATB test or successfully completing at least six credit hours or 225 clock hours of postsecondary education.

Class Rescheduled

In the event TTI must reschedule a class, course or program, including change in date or time, tuition, lab and regis-tration fees will be refunded. TTI will initiate refund.

RETURN OF TITLE IV/REPAYMENTS

Taylor Technical Institute has designed the following policies and procedures to ensure proper accountability when a student leaves school.

If a student withdraws on or before completing 60% of the course(s) within a payment period for which they have received Title IV funds, the school will complete a calculation to determine if any funds are to be returned to the Title IV funds for the payment period. The calculation will determine the Title IV aid earned and unearned for the time enrolled. The school and/or student may be responsible for returning funds. Examples of calculations of funds, earned time, and unearned time may be found in the Financial Aid office.

If a student receives less Pell Grant than the amount earned, TTI will make a disbursement of the earned aid that was not disbursed if student has met all edibility requirements. TTI will credit a student's account with a post withdrawal disbursement for current tuition and fees. Earned funds in excess of tuition/fees will be provided to the student.

Withdrawing from a Program

When a student is withdrawn from a program, the Financial Aid Administrator has 30 days from the withdrawal date to complete appropriate paperwork. With the completion of appropriate paperwork; TTI's Fiscal Manager and the District Finance Office has 15 days to return the monies to the DOE.

The following outlines the withdrawal procedures the FAA follows:

The Financial Aid Administrator receives notice of withdrawal

The student’s attendance is printed for the entire payment period the student is currently in.

The student’s attendance is counted. All scheduled hours are counted that the student could have attended up to the last day student attended class.

Withdrawal paperwork is completed and it is determined whether the student owes funds to TTI or if the student is owed funds.

If a student owes TTI a balance, the student is notified in writing at the student’s last known address. A copy of the letter is placed in the student’s Financial Aid and Academic records.

In some instances, the student may owe funds to TTI and the Department of Education. These students will be advised of both debts in writing.

The Financial Aid Administrator turns in the results of The Return to Title IV funds calculation to TTI's Fiscal Manager and the District Finance Office. This office will facilitate the return of funds (if necessary).

If student has an overpayment owed to the Department of Education and has not paid it within 45 days from the date of the letter sent to the student informing them of the overpayment, the Financial Aid Administrator reports them to the NLSDS (National Student Loan Data System).

If the overpayment is with DOE and the student has not made payment arrangements with TTI, the Department is notified of the overpayment via the National Student Loan data System (NSLDS)

If the student has money due to them, the Financial Aid Administrator places their file in the following month’s disbursement batch.

14


Refund Policy Continued

During the application/interview process, each student is made aware of potential financial obligations and consequences for completing and/or withdrawing before a payment period is completed. Upon withdrawal the letter is sent to the student informing him/her of the balance owed to TTI and the consequences of the failure to pay the balance owed. If the debt is with Taylor Technical Institute, the student is informed that they will not be allowed to register again until debt is cleared. If the overpayment is with the Federal Government, the student is informed they will not be eligible for Title IV aid until the overpayment is cleared. They are also given a due date of 45 days from the date on the letter to pay the overpayment, to TTI or set up acceptable payment arrangements. Failure to comply with these requirements will result in a referral of the debt to the Department of Education.

Post-Withdrawal Disbursements

If the student receives less Pell Grant monies than the amount earned, Taylor Technical Institute will make a disbursement of the earned aid that was not disbursed if student has met all eligibility requirements. Taylor Technical Institute will credit a student’s account with a post withdrawal disbursement for current tuition and fees. Earned funds in excess of tuition/fees will be provided to the student. Taylor Technical Institute will notify the student within 30 days of the withdrawal as to the amount of Title IV disbursement available. Taylor Technical Institute will disburse the funds to the student within 45 days of the date the school determines the student withdrew. If the student cannot be located, or refuses the funds as per a written and signed statement, the funds will then be returned to the Federal Pell Grant Program.

Medical Withdrawal

In the event a student is required to withdraw due to an ongoing medical condition, it is the responsibility of the student to provide documentation from a physician. If you withdraw from all your classes on or before the 60% point in time of the semester, which is calculated using calendar days, a portion of the total federal aid funds awarded must be returned, according to the provisions of the Higher Education Amendments of 1998. The return of these funds will result in the student owing a balance to the TTI.

Continuing Education Courses Refund Policy

Courses under 75 hours will not receive a refund of any kind unless the course is cancelled or a change is initiated by TTI. Tuition, fees and lab fees are routinely refunded if a continuing education course does not begin as scheduled or is cancelled.

CTE Programs Program Information

Career and Technical Education (CTE) certificate programs are offered at the postsecondary adult level. Recognition for completing these programs is in the form of a certificate of completion. Certificates are recognized by private and public sector employers.

If a student chooses not to complete the total course, the student will receive recognition for his/her completion of one or more of the Occupational Completion Points (OCPs) that comprise the certificate program.

Approved dual-enrolled high school students also receive high school credit for completion of CTE certificate programs and are provided an opportunity to sit for the applicable industry certification(s)—which in many cases articulates to postsecondary credit in the State College system. . Employability skills are included in all CTE certificate programs.

Externship programs are offered, where appropriate, so that the student may gain additional skills and reinforce skills learned in the classroom.
