Changes in the student loan process : What you need to know!
Western Connecticut State University offers financial aid to help qualified students meet their educational expenses. The staff of the Office of Student Financial Services is available to assist students in determining their eligibility for the various sources of aid available. While not every one will qualify for assistance, a student should never assume he/she is ineligible without first applying. A wide spectrum of variables affect the application process, therefore many possible options exist that may pertain to a students particular circumstances.
The evaluation of one's financial need is based on an analysis of several factors; such as, student and/or family income, family size, assets and liabilities, and the number of family members in school. In addition to the above, the school's total allocation of funds for an academic year is also a factor that determines the amount of aid a student can receive. Therefore, meeting the application deadline, along with assessing the students financial need, becomes an important factor in the financial aid process.
All financial aid recipients must apply annually to qualify for assistance, and must maintain satisfactory academic progress.
Return of Title IV Funds based on Withdrawal from the University
A school is required to determine the earned and unearned portions of Title IV Aid as of the date the student ceased attendance based on the amount of time the student spent in attendance. The calculation of Title IV Funds earned by the student has no relationship to the student's incurred institutional charges.
Up through the 60% point in each period of enrollment, a prorated schedule is used to determine the amount of Title IV Funds the student has earned at the time of withdrawal. After the 60% point in the period of enrollment, a student has earned 100% of the Title IV Funds he or she was scheduled to receive during the semester.
