Policies & Conditions

• Information Disclosure

• Rights and Responsibilites
  Federal regulations require that you have the right to know certain information as a financial aid recipient. We are also required to inform you of your responsibilities in applying for and accepting aid. Click here to learn more.
• Verification
  The federal government randomly selects for verification about one in three FAFSAs each year. If your FAFSA is selected, you will be able to read that on your Student Aid report (SAR). You will also be notified by e-mail from us to provide copies of yours and/or your parents federal tax forms, other documents as necessary, and a Verification Worksheet. Click here to learn more.
• Withdrawal, Refunds, and Repayment
  Because we administer federal funds, we must have a written policy regarding financial aid recipients who withdraw or otherwise fail to complete the term for which they received financial aid. Click here to learn more.
