MATH 097
Please note: Math 097 is not eligible for federal financial aid and is not counted in enrollment status for financial aid purposes. Example: If you are enrolled for 12 hours (full-time) and one of your classes is Math 097, your enrollment status for financial aid purposes is 9 hours (part-time) and you will be paid according to part-time enrollment.
DEGREE AUDIT NOTICE: Federal financial aid may NOT be awarded for courses that do not apply toward a student’s degree program. Each student is strongly encouraged to check “Degree Audit” via the CAVS webpage to ensure that the courses in which he/she is enrolled will apply towards the student’s degree program.
Applying for Financial Aid is a lengthy process. The entire process could take up to 90 days after the student submits ALL documents required to complete his/her financial aid file. In order to have the student’s financial aid processed in time for registration/fee payment he/she must submit ALL requested documents according to the priority deadlines.
- Provisionally admitted students are not eligible for federal financial aid. If a student’s Admissions file is incomplete, he/she is considered a provisional student.
- All students must have a high school diploma or its equivalent in order to receive federal financial aid.
- If a student is missing official college academic transcripts or if his/her financial aid file is incomplete, the student is NOT eligible for financial aid deferment. It is the student’s responsibility to make payment arrangement on the day of registration.
- If a student is determined ineligible for financial aid once all missing information is provided, he/she must make payment arrangement on the day of registration. The student’s class schedule will be dropped if payment arrangements are not made on the day of registration.
Awards may be reduced or cancelled without prior notification if a student is determined ineligible for financial aid funds that he/she has already received.
YOU WILL OWE MONEY IF:
- You do not begin attendance in ALL classes (your instructor notifies the Financial Aid Office of all students who never attend classes.)
- You resign or stop attending ALL classes before completing more than 60% of the semester.
Students must begin attendance in ALL classes. Financial aid will be adjusted if a student does not begin attendance in ALL classes. If a student receives his/her financial aid check(s) and never attends any classes, the student will be responsible for immediate REPAYMENT of the FULL amount of the financial aid. If a financial aid recipient begins attendance in class, but resigns or stops attending all classes before completing more than 60% of the semester, he/she will owe money to the aid program and BPCC.
60% DATES FOR Fall 2009:
- October 24
- October 27 for BPCC at NSU Students
