如果我不得不退学，我的助学金怎么办?

Federal regulations require that funds be refunded to the Federal government based on the number of days the student was attending classes. In many cases, the student would likely owe a balance to the College and/or federal government.

How will I know when a refund is available?

如果您有多余的资助退款，您将收到一封电子邮件到您的GCC电子邮件帐户. 请记住，你的经济援助将首先用于支付学费, fees and institutional charges on your account. 你必须按时上课才能获得资助. GCC disburses financial aid after census point. 学生s in late start classes will have their aid disbursed in accordance with the census point of the corresponding part of term.

Federal 金融援助 (including loans) and NYS TAP will disburse at the point that the College has verified you have commenced attendance in the course(s) for which the aid/loans relate. 例如, 如果你上的是“晚开始”的课程(最后12周的课程或最后7周的课程), 在你的课程开始之前，你的援助是不会发放的. 学生最早可以在第6周收到退款支票.

学生 Outcome Tracking FAQs

Why is it important to take courses that match my program requirements if I receive 金融援助?

的 Federal and State governments have mandated that all students receiving financial aid must take courses that apply to their programs. Schools will be held accountable to make sure students are taking the proper courses and could lose their ability to offer financial aid to students if they do not comply with this regulation.

What will happen to my financial aid if I choose to take courses that are not within my program?

You will only receive financial aid for courses in your program and your financial aid award package will be reduced to reflect the number of courses you are taking that do apply to your program.

我怎么知道我没有选对课程来满足经济援助的要求? How will I be notified?

You will receive an electronic message when you register for courses in Banner Self Service indicating if a course does not meet the financial requirements and an explanation as to why it doesn’t.

What happens if I repeat a course?

学生s who repeat courses they have taken previously either at GCC or another institution and received a passing grade may impact both federal and state aid programs (to maintain full-time status for financial aid, 学生的课程必须至少达到12学分(不包括重修课程)。. An exception may be made for state aid if the student did not meet the minimum grade requirement for that class for graduation.

Federal Aid, including student loans, will pay for a student to repeat a passed course only once.
国家援助(TAP)将只支付一次重复课程的费用, but only if it is required to have a higher grade for graduation in the student’s particular degree program.

如果学生的课程不要求他们获得更高的毕业成绩, 但出于学术原因，该学生被建议重修课程, 学生最好至少修12个学分新课程作业-除了任何重复的课程-以保持全日制状态.

我最近做了一个项目变更，某些课程被排除在我的GPA之外. 这些课程还会影响我的经济资助资格吗?

他们可能. 只有在你的项目中需要的课程才有资格获得经济援助. If you received a grade of D or higher in any of your excluded courses they will be viewed as completed requirements and will be used again (when determining financial aid) if there is room in your 新 Program.

What are prerequisite courses?

这些课程是为你顺利完成必修课做准备的. 它们可能是你的课程的一部分，也可能不是.

我目前正在修专业以外的非学分/补习课程. Will I receive financial aid for these courses?

是的, the federal and state governments consider these preparatory classes for successful completion of college level courses. 但是，你必须注册至少6个学分/非补习课程.

Will this only affect full time students?

No. Part time students must adhere to the same guidelines.

如果我发现我的课程不能用助学金支付，我该怎么办?

You will need to readjust the courses within your program and take courses that do count for financial aid. Otherwise you will be responsible for payment for all courses that do not meet program requirements.

Can I drop classes once school has begun if I find out that I’m not going to receive financial aid for them?

No. You may not drop classes for financial aid eligibility reasons once school has begun; you will be charged the regular fee if you drop classes according to the college catalog guidelines.

I do not receive any federal or state aid. Does this apply to me?

这些规定只影响接受联邦(包括贷款)和州援助的学生. 如果你自己支付课程费用，你可以自由选择任何课程. 然而, taking courses outside of what is required for your major will prolong your time at Genesee and cost you additional funds. We encourage you to perform a Degree Audit periodically to ensure you are on your way to completing your degree.
