Financial Aid Policies
Your class schedule must be firm and you should not make any changes after the 5th day of the semester or you risk aid reductions. It is expected that you will attend your registered courses. If you decide to add a late start course after the 5th day of the semester your Pell Grant cannot be adjusted to increase in credits. If you drop a class and add another class that same the same number of credits after the 5th day of the semester, your aid will be negatively affected.
For students receiving state financial funding, the Minnesota Office of Higher Education refund policies will apply.
Reasons for an R2T4 Calculation: Student financial aid funds are awarded to a student based on the assumption that the student will attend school the entire period for which the financial aid was awarded. A student who stops attending course(s) must immediately withdraw from courses, and is responsible for understanding the impact of such action on his/her student account. Students may officially withdraw within the course-specific withdrawal time frame by logging into eServices, clicking "View/Modify Class Schedule", selecting the course(s) from which they would like to withdraw and withdrawing from the course(s). Note, password entry will be required to confirm withdrawal from course or course(s). The payment period for each student is determined by the date the course(s) or module(s) start and end. Scheduled breaks of more than five (5) consecutive days are excluded from the calculation.
The College will determine the withdrawal date or last date of attendance for students who stopped attending (i.e. unofficially withdrew) within 30 calendar days from the earlier of (1) the end of the payment period (i.e. defined as “semester” at 澳门网上博彩nical College), (2) the end of the academic year, or (3) the end of the student’s educational program. The Department of Education stipulates that a student must be reported within 30 days of withdrawal from all courses. Any funds to be repaid to the department must be returned within 45 days of the institutions determination the student has withdrawn.
Financial Impact on Students: Because the College’s refund policy does not give a refund of tuition and fees past the 20thbusiness of fall and spring semester (see ATC Student Handbook for refund period for summer semester), it is possible that a student who completely withdraws will be owe money after withdrawing. If there is an outstanding balance after Title IV and/or state funds are returned and the student’s institutional charges are adjusted (if applicable), the student would then be liable for paying this amount. Students may also be eligible for a partial tuition and fees refund.
Federal and state regulations require that any financial aid recipient who completely withdraws or stops attending courses prior to the 60% point of the semester may be required to repay a portion of any financial aid the student has received. ATC uses the federal return of Title IV funds rules and calculation tools for any federal aid not earned and the Minnesota Office of Higher Education (OHE) refund calculation for any programs specific to Minnesota. The College returns the unearned share of federal financial aid in the following order:
- Federal Unsubsidized Direct Loan
- Federal Subsidized Direct Loan
- Federal PLUS Loan received on behalf of the student
- Federal PELL Grant
- Federal SEOG Grant
The College returns state financial aid funds in the order specified by the OHE calculation worksheets.
The College returns the College share of loans and both the student and College share of grants. The College then bills the student for these amounts. Students are responsible for their share of unearned aid attributable to a loan under the terms and conditions of the promissory note. Grant repayment is made to the college under the repayment guidelines identified in a notice sent to students after the recalculation is complete.
Withdrawal Date or Last Date of Attendance: Faculty record the last date a student participated in an academically-related activity. This date, or the student’s official withdrawal date if the student formally withdrew, is used to determine the amount of financial aid funds the student is able to retain. Students “earn” financial aid in proportion to the time they are attending courses up to the 60% point of the semester.
If the College is unable to obtain from the faculty the last date of attendance, the College will assume a midpoint withdrawal and calculate the return of funds accordingly.
To determine the percentage of title IV grant or loan assistance earned by a student we take the number of days that the student academically participated in their courses divided by the amount of days in the payment period to get the percentage of aid earned.The resulting percentage (of courses attended for the term) is then multiplied by the amount of Title IV Financial Aid that was disbursed or could have been disbursed. Initially, wedisburse at 100% with the assumption that the student will complete the entire payment period. If the student academically participates past the 60% point they are considered to have earned 100% of their aid. If the student does not academically participate to at least the 60% point of the payment period, the calculation above is used to determine what percentage of aid disbursed will need to be returned or what amount of aid we can offer as a post withdrawal disbursement. Breaks of more than four consecutive business days are excluded.
Example: If a student academically participates in 30% of their course(s) for the term and receives a disbursement of $2,960 in Pell Grant and $3,500 in Subsidized Loans, the College would multiply the federal aid received by 30% to determine the amount of aid earned for the semester (Pell $2,960 x .30 = $888, Loans $1,050). Then the College would subtract the amount of aid earned, from the aid received and return the difference in Title IV funds to the Department of Education (or State of MN for state funds) on behalf of the student. The student would then have a balance placed on their student account at the College and the student would owe the College the difference between the aid they received and the aid they earned for the term.
Examples of both calculations are available in the Financial Aid Office at the student's request.
If a financial aid eligible student withdraws from courses prior to disbursement, a calculation is completed to determine the amount of earned aid for the term. This disbursement may help to reduce a student’s balance for the withdrawn term. This disbursement is called a Post-Withdrawal Disbursement. Students eligible for a Post-Withdrawal disbursement will have funds applied to their account in this order: Pell, Iraq/Afghanistan Service Grant, SEOG, Direct Subsidized Loan, Direct Unsubsidized Loan, Perkins Loan, Direct PLUS Loan.
Any Post Withdrawal Disbursement (PWD) will be calculated through CPS. The student/parent will be notified of any PWD eligibility within 30 days of the determination of the last date of attendance.
If a student qualifies for a Post-Withdrawal Disbursement, any grant funds the student is eligible to receive, based on the return calculation, will be applied to the student’s account within 14 calendar days of the determination. If a student qualifies for a Post-Withdrawal Disbursement from loan funds, a letter will be sent to the student (or parent in case of a Direct Plus Loan) stating the amount of the loan disbursement the student is eligible to receive. The student must then reply within 14 calendar days to give authorization for the disbursement. Exceptions will be allowed in relation to the 14 calendar day guideline if a student provides in writing within a reasonable timeframe after the letter is sent. If written authorization is not received, the loan will be cancelled, and updated with Direct Loans.
R2T4 Calculation for Late-start and Nonstandard length classes:
-
If a student withdraws from a full standard term course and has a late starting module, a signed intent to enroll will need to be received within 7 calendar days or an R2T4 calculation will be completed. If we receive confirmation later from an instructor that the student is engaging in academic activity, the R2T4 calculation will be undone.
-
If a student is still enrolled at the time a module ends, no R2T4 calculation is completed. If it is determined at any point that all academic activity ceased prior to the end date of a module, a R2T4 calculation will be processed.
-
An R2T4 calculation will be performed when a student stops academically participating from all courses before the 60% point in the semester.
Time frame for the Determination and Calculation: Weekly, the Financial Aid Office runs a variety of reports to determine students who officially withdrew from all courses. Once all potential R2T4’s are determined for the week we utilize the tool created by MinnState which is pre-populated with data that we review for accuracy. Once we have determined that the information is correct, the tool will perform the R2T4 calculation.
During the semester, the College may obtain knowledge that a student dropped out (i.e. unofficially withdrew). The Financial Aid Office follows CFR Part 668.22 C(c) guidelines to determine unofficial withdrawals:
-
The date as determined by the institution, that the student began the withdrawal process prescribed by the institution. The student initiates this process by either completely withdrawing themselves from courses or the instructor providing a LDA based on the student ceasing to participate in courses for a period of time where a passing grade cannot be earned.
-
The date, as determined by the institution, that the student otherwise provided official notification to the institution, in writing or orally, of his or her intent to withdraw or the date that an instructor reports a LDA to the Financial Aid Office for a student that has ceased academic activity for a period of time where a passing grade cannot be earned.
-
If a student does not return from an approved leave of absence as defined in CFR Part 668.22 paragraph (d) of this section, the date used is the date the institution determines the student began the leave of absence
For unofficial withdrawals we will determine the date that a student withdraws without providing notification to the student no later than 30 days after the end of the earlier of the:
-
Payment period or period of enrollment
-
Academic year in which the student withdrew
-
Educational program from which the student withdrew
Notifying Students: The Financial Aid Office performs the calculation and scans a copy into Perceptive Content to archive. The Financial Aid Office then returns the funds and runs Aid Applied which is then given to the Business Office with a prepared letter for the student outlining the reason for the return. The Business Office runs Funds Applied and ensures that the activity on the student’s account is correct.The Business Office then generates an invoice and mails the invoice and letter from the Financial Aid Office to the student.
Responsibilities: The Return of Title IV calculation process is shared by the Financial Aid Office and the Business Office. The Records/Registration Office works with faculty to obtain last date of attendance information and grade clarification. The Financial Aid Office performs the calculation based on the grade and LDA information entered into ISRS. The Financial Aid Office returns the funds on the student’s behalf. The Financial Aid Office and Business Office work together to notify the student of the amounts returned and the amount the student owes.
澳门网上博彩nical College will verify ALL student applications selected by the FAFSA processor. Verification documents will be requested pf the student upon receipt of the FAFSA. Documents must be received and verification performed before any disbursement of financial aid will be made. If there are errors, we will update your application, recalculate your aid eligibility and send a current award letter to you. Any documents received 180 days after the last date of enrollment (or date published by the Department of Education, whichever one is earlier) will not be processed.

Emergency Financial Aid
In late March, federal legislation was passed to provide economic relief to individuals and organizations dealing with the ramifications of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This legislation—titled the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (or CARES Act)—established a Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) for colleges and universities in the United States.
The CARES Act directed that 50% of HEERF money must go toward emergency student financial assistance for various expenses related to disruptions of campus operations and changes in instruction method.
In December 2020, the federal government passed theCoronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund II (HEERF II), which allocated funds to higher education institutions across the nation. Similar to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act with HEERF I funds, the HEERF II funds are distributed in grants with appropriate use stipulations and requires institutions to disburse a portion of these funds in direct support to eligible students. The funds must be used to cover expenses related to students’ cost of attendance or for emergency costs that arise due to COVID-19, such as tuition, food, housing, health care (including mental health care), child care, course materials, or technology. Institutions cannot require students to use funds to pay tuition or past due balances; however, students may choose to apply the funds toward tuition.
TheHigher Education Emergency Relief Fund III (HEERF III)is authorized by the American Rescue Plan (ARP), Public Law 117-2, signed into law on March 11, 2021, providing $39.6 billion in support to institutions of higher education to serve students and ensure learning continues during the COVID-19 pandemic. This Plan has created emergency financial aid grants to assist students with exceptional need. These grants can be used toward educational costs and other emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus, such as tuition, food, housing, health care (including mental health care), or child care. ARP requires institutions to prioritize students with exceptional need, such as those who receive Federal Pell Grants, when awarding this grant. However, students do not need to be a Pell Grant recipient or student who is eligible for Federal Pell Grants to receive this funding. ARP funding is limited, so not all applicants will receive funding.

澳门网上博彩nical College received $554,380 of student emergency funds from the CARES Act. Three different methods were used to award funds to students with hopes to assist as many students as possible. Disbursements began on May 5, 2020.
- Base Award ($131) – Awards of $131 were sent to all eligible students. *
- Supplemental Award ($400) – All eligible students who received a Federal Pell Grant or Minnesota State Grant received an additional $269, for a total of $400.
- CARES Act Emergency Fund Applications ($500) – Twenty-six percent of the college’s allocation was reserved for applications for additional funds. Approved supplemental applications are being disbursed based on student application date until funds are exhausted.
Approved applications for emergency funds are sent directly to students.These funds do not pay any tuition, fees, or other charges on a student’s account.
* Students attending more than one Minnesota State college or university can only receive a Base Award from one school. Students who believe they meet the eligibility requirements, but did not have a base award, should check their student account for their other school.
