SUMMER 2013 AWARD POLICY

 

 

Students requesting summer aid must be enrolled in a degree program at Cayuga Community College. Applicants must submit a "Request Form" to be evaluated for summer aid. Awards will be evaluated as follows:

 

1.  PELL:

Eligibility for a PELL Grant will be calculated based on registration status.  Students who have received the maximum Pell Grant amounts during the previous fall/spring semesters will NOT be eligible for a summer Pell Grant award.

 

2.  Campus-Based Aid:

Placement of college work study positions will be done upon request from departments and availability of funds.

 

3.  Direct Loans:

In order to be evaluated for a 2013 summer loan a student must submit a loan request form. The student must have a 2012/13 Federal Student Aid Report on file.  Loan recipients must attend 6 credits.  What a student borrowed during the previous Fall/Spring semester will affect eligibility to borrow during the summer session.  Summer loans will be disbursed in two separate disbursements once a student has begun attendance in six or more credits.  For a schedule of summer disbursements, see the Financial Aid Office.

 

4.  TAP Awards:

Students who want to defer tuition on an approved TAP Award Certificate must complete an approval form in the Financial Aid Office.  TAP awards are based on a 2013/14 application and normally are not received until October 2014.  Students must be registered for 6 credits for TAP and meet other eligibility requirements.  TAP deferrals will not be available unless the New York State budget is passed prior to the summer bill due date.

 

Deferments - For summer, students may defer tuition on approved awards from PELL, TAP or student loans.  Book deferrals can be processed on excess aid from actual PELL, TAP or student loans awards.

 

If a student withdraws from summer courses their financial aid awards may be adjusted or cancelled.

 

Student Responsibilities - Students are responsible for letting the Financial Aid Office know if anticipated enrollment in courses changes from that which was indicated on the "Request Form".  Students who do not attend classes and are withdrawn may owe the college money.

 

Disbursements - Any remaining PELL will be disbursed by mid-July.  No excess financial aid will be refunded to students until an amount exceeding a student•s bill is eligible for disbursement.  Student loan disbursements are described above.
