Applying for Summer 2006 Financial Aid

To download a copy of the Summer 2006 application, please read the steps below.  The application is in step 2.

If you are planning to take classes in the Summer 2006 semester, you must follow the steps below by the dates listed.   At this time, the only aid we expect to award are Federal Pell Grants, Work-Study, and Stafford Loans.   If you were previously awarded a Commonwealth, CSAP, SEOG, or PTAP, those funds were only for the Fall 2004 and Spring 2005 semesters and do not carry forward into Summer.  For the best service, please complete the steps on or before the "Recommended" dates below.

*Because of the complexity in the processing of Summer aid, you must register for all Summer classes by May 19 so that we can process your aid in a timely manner.  If you register after this point your financial aid payments will be delayed by up to 30 days.

2nd 5 Week session  June 29 - August 2 
If you register for a 2nd 5 week class AFTER May 19,  you must contact a financial aid representative to have your award(s) adjusted.

If all of your classes are in the second five weeks, your financial aid will be disbursed after July 20, 2006.  

Other important factors that could affect Summer Aid:

Satisfactory Academic Progress:   Students must meet the standards of the college SAP (Satisfactory Academic Progress) policy.   For more information, please read the SAP policy page at this link.   For currently enrolled students, we will re-evaluate your SAP at the end of Spring 2006 once grades are available. Students not meeting the standards become ineligible for aid as of Summer and beyond until compliance with SAP standards are re-established.

5 Week and 10 Week Sessions:  This summer the college will offer courses in one 10-week session, and two 5-week sessions.  If your enrollment is divided between two sessions, you must still "earn" your financial aid by attending courses in all your sessions.  If financial aid is disbursed to you and later you drop or never attend a late starting class, you will owe back some (or all) of the financial aid disbursed to you.

Developmental Hour maximum:  Only the first 30 hours of developmental credits in your enrollment may be considered for financial aid purposes. You can take more than 30 hours, but they cannot be used to determine your enrollment status.

Enrollment Status:  The enrollment status for Summer is the same as the standard 16 week semester.   You aid will be based on your enrollment and the following rules:
