AcademicProgress

Financial aid recipients are expected to maintain satisfactory academic progress. Grades are monitored on a quarterly and annual basis, and the student must complete all of their classes with a minimum number of credits with a 2.0 cumulative grade point average to be in good standing. Students who complete less than half of their attempted classes will lose their aid. All previously attempted college credits are also evaluated, regardless of whether the student received financial aid.

Students may be allowed to attempt 150 percent of college level credits that are required for their degree. A maximum of 45 credits will be allowed for required preparatory coursework. Please refer to EverettCC.edu/FA for complete Satisfactory Academic Progress policies.

ReturnofTitleIVFunds

Financial aid recipients who drop out of school or complete zero credits may be required to repay all or a portion of federal aid received.

If you have specific questions about this federal requirement, contact the Financial Aid office to review the policy. Future aid will be terminated and students must appeal for reinstatement.

Scholarships

A variety of scholarships are made possible by the college, through community organizations, and by donations from individuals.

Eligibility requirements vary. Some are based on financial need, some on academic merit, and others may depend on your program of study. EvCC Foundation scholarship applications are available every February for the following academic year. Information about regional and national scholarships is posted on the financial aid website throughout the year as they become available at EverettCC.edu/FA. The Financial Aid office is located on the top floor of the Parks Student Union; phone 425-388-9280. The website is EverettCC.edu/FA.

VETERANS’RESOURCE CENTER

The Veterans’ Resource Center serves as a liaison between EvCC and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Everett Community College has been approved by the VA as meeting the Principles of Excellence. A representative is available to assist veterans and activate all veterans’ educational benefits.

A determination of eligibility by the VA and receipt of first month’s benefits can take four to six weeks, so students should apply well in advance of their anticipated start date if they are planning to use their benefits to pay for initial costs (e.g. tuition and books). In order to maintain benefits, veteran students must keep the veterans’ advisor apprised of enrollment plans each quarter and are required to follow VA regulations pertaining to standards of conduct and academic progress. Information packets, applications, and assistance for all veterans’ programs are available from the EvCC Veterans ' Resource Center staff. The Veterans’ Resource Center staff are located in Baker Hall Room 203, phone 425-388-9277 or by email at veterans@everettcc.edu.
