Impact of Withdrawal on Financial Aid Eligibility • Federal Financial Aid:

When the student’s official date of withdrawal falls between the first day of classes and the 60% point of the term, Federal Title IV financial aid (Pell

Grant, TEACH Grant, Direct Loans, Direct

PLUS Loans), is pro-rated based on the percentage of the term completed by the student. For example, if you completed 30% of the semester, you are eligible to receive 30% of the federal financial aid you were originally scheduled to receive. Student loan repayment may begin at or shortly after the date of withdrawal. Information regarding loan repayment can be found at studentaid.gov/.

• Other Sources of Financial Aid:

State, private and military financial assistance will be adjusted based on the requirements of the specific funding source.

CREDIT BALANCE REFUND POLICY

Students may have a credit balance a credit balance on their account with the College due to a variety of reasons including overpayment or financial aid in excess of tuition cost. Students can request to have the credit refunded to them by completing an online Refund Request Form which can be accessed via the Tuition & Fees page on the Graduate & Professional Programs section of the Emmanuel College website. Once the refund request form is received by Student Financial Services, payment in the amount of the refund will be processed to the via the method (direct deposit or paper check) specified on the refund request form.

Students who have a credit balance on their Emmanuel account solely due to excess Title IV financial aid will automatically have the excess funds refunded to them within 14 days of the aid being disbursed to their Emmanuel account. Title IV financial aid consists of Federal Direct Loans, Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loans, Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) and Federal TEACH Grants. Students who would like the excess funds to remain on their account to pay for additional costs (e.g. parking, student health insurance) or for future semesters must complete a Credit Authorization Form, which may be found on the Financial Aid & Scholarships page on the Graduate & Professional Programs section of the Emmanuel College website.

DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS

Students with a past-due balance are ineligible to attend classes, register for future courses, receive a diploma or an official academic transcript. If payment is not received in a timely manner, a $100 late fee will be assessed to the account. If the account remains delinquent, the account will be referred to a collection agency and the student will be responsible for the costs incurred with the collection effort. Once an account is referred to an outside agency, all inquiries and payments are made to the collection agency.

HEALTH INSURANCE

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires students enrolled at least threequarter time in face-to-face classes to be covered under an acceptable health insurance plan. All students enrolled in faceto-face courses at least three-quarter time will be automatically billed for the cost of the insurance, unless they have submitted an online waiver form documenting comparable existing coverage.

Students enrolled at least three-quarter time in online courses have the option to enroll in the student health insurance plan but are not required to do so. Students who are interested in enrolling in the health insurance plan should contact the Office of Student Financial Services for rates and additional information.

UPDATING DEMOGRAPHIC AND CONTACT INFORMATION

It is the student’s responsibility to keep the College informed of any changes in name, address or telephone number. Information may be updated on EC Online Services.
