What is Financial Aid?
Financial aid is money provided to assist you in meeting college
costs. It can be gift aid (grants and scholarships) or self-help aid
(part-time work and loans). Federal, state and institutional funding
are three sources of financial aid. Grants are free awards that are
based on financial need. Grants don’t have to be repaid unless,
for example, you are awarded funds incorrectly or you withdraw
from school and owe a refund. Scholarships are non-repayable
awards based either on merit or special talent alone or on merit
and financial need. Work-study employment allows students to
earn money while attending school. Student loans are available
to students or their parents at low interest rates with repayment
usually deferred until after graduation.
Important
If you withdraw from all of your classes within the first 60
percent of the payment period measured in calendar days, you
may owe a portion of unearned aid back to the federal government.
The college will owe a percent of the refund of the institutional
costs, and any amount that the college repays will be billed to
you. Refer to “Federal Repayment Policy” on page 8 for additional
information.
Who Should Apply?
U.S. citizens, nationals or eligible non-citizens can apply for
financial aid. You must have a high school diploma or GED before
financial aid can be awarded, unless you qualify under ability
to benefit guidelines. Most male students must register with the
Selective Service to get financial aid.

aid process, the Financial Aid Office in R-122 is where you can

The Federal PIN
Your federal PIN allows you access to personal information
in U.S. Department of Education’s systems such as applying for
federal student aid. Your federal PIN allows you to:
• Access FAFSA on the Web and Corrections on the Web
• Sign your FAFSA electronically or obtain a copy of your FAFSA
information
• Complete your Federal Direct Student Loan electronic Master
Promissory Note (MPN)
• Review your grant and loan history on the National Student
Loan Data System (NSLDS)
If you are a dependent student and one of your parents has a
PIN, he or she can sign the application electronically using their
PIN.
How is Need Determined?
The financial aid information you and your family provide on
the FAFSA is analyzed by the federal processor to determine the
expected family contribution (EFC). Family contribution is the
amount you and your family should be able to pay toward your
cost of education. Need is the difference between the amount you
and your family can contribute and the cost to attend the college
of your choice. The primary responsibility for paying for your
education belongs to you and your family.

A Few Things to Know
The 2010-2011 Financial Aid Handbook information is available
online at www.sfcollege.edu/financialaid/.
You may be eligible for a fee deferment; see more information on
fee deferments on page 4.
A standard term is 16 weeks in length and flexterms occur
within the standard term for approximately eight weeks.
Transfer students must have at least a 2.0 GPA after all official
transfer course work has been evaluated to be eligible for financial
aid. If you are awarded a Federal Direct Student Loan you must
complete a loan orientation online at www.sfcollege.edu/financialaid/
orientation.php. You must also complete a Master Promissory Note
(MPN) at http://dlenote.ed.gov if you have not already done so for a
prior Federal Direct Loan.
Many outside organizations offer scholarships to students who
meet certain criteria including, but not limited, to the following:
background, professional affiliations, field of study, and/or place
of residence. You may find scholarships at http://www.sfcollege.edu/
student/crc/index.php?section=scholarships.
Transfer Students
If you plan to transfer to SF during the year (i.e. spring 2011 or
summer 2011) you should:
• Add the SF Federal school code 001519 on the FAFSA.
• Contact your current school and tell them of your plans to
transfer so they may cancel your aid.
All transfer credits as well as attempted course work at SF will be
included as attempted credit hours.
You must have at least a 2.0 minimum cumulative all college
grade point average (GPA) after all official transfer credits are
evaluated to be eligible for financial aid. If you are a transfer
student with a GPA less than 2.0 and you are attempting to qualify
for aid in subsequent terms, you must either:
1. Raise your cumulative GPA to at least a 2.0, or
2. Earn a minimum term GPA of 2.5 for enrollment of at least
halftime status. This must occur in your first term at SF.

Critical Enrollment Information
Maximum eligibility for funding is based on a full-time enrollment
status; however, part-time students may be eligible for financial
aid. Per federal regulations, a student’s financial aid must be
calculated by determining the student’s enrollment status
based only on course work applicable to the student’s degree or
certificate at SF.
Enrollment status categories for funding are as follows:
• Full-time status is 12 credit hours or more;
• Three-quarter time status is 9 to 11 credit hours;
• Half-time status is 6 to 8 credit hours;
• Less than half-time status is 1-5 credit hours. Students who plan
to register for less than full-time enrollment status should pay
close attention to the eligibility requirements listed for each
financial aid program (see page 5).
The following are examples of enrollment status and financial
aid eligibility:
A. Melissa’s program of study is associate of arts (AA) 1133 and she
has completed all of her SF degree requirements (60 credits).
During the fall of 2010, she is registered for 13 credit hours of
prerequisites required for admittance to the upper division of
a state university that she wants to transfer to in the spring of
2011. Because her fall 2010 courses do not apply to her degree at
SF, her financial aid enrollment status is zero hours and she is
not eligible for financial aid.
Course Credit Hours
INR 2002 International Relations 3
SPN 1121 Spanish 2 4
STA 2023 Introduction to Statistics 3
CPO 2001 Comparative Politics 3
B. John’s program is associate of science (AS) 3315 Nuclear
Medicine Technology and his fall 2010 registration of 9 credits
includes a 3 credit hour class ENC 1102 that is not applicable
to his degree at SF. His enrollment status for financial aid is 6
hours (half time).
Course Credit Hours
NMT 1111 Patient Care 3
NMT 1430 Radiation Biology 3
ENC 1102 Writing/Lit 3
Flexterm Enrollment
What is a standard term? What is a flexterm?
A standard term is 16 weeks in length. The standard fall term
runs from August to December and the flexterm session occurs
within the standard term at an accelerated pace. For example,
the fall A flexterm runs from August to the middle of October,
approximately eight weeks.
Your fall financial aid will be based on your projected
enrollment in ALL sessions as of the end of the regular drop with
a refund date, August 27, 2010, OR the date the federal government
processes your financial aid application, or the date that your
financial aid is initially calculated by SF, whichever is later.
This is referred to as your “lock-in” date for determining all of
your financial aid for the standard fall term, fall A flexterm, or fall
B flexterm.
The lock-in date for students who only attend the B flexterm
will be the end of the regular drop with a refund date for the B
flexterm or their processed date, or the date that your financial aid
is initially calculated by SF, whichever is later.
If your application is processed by the federal government after
the lock-in date for the standard fall term, August 27, 2010, then
your registration will be “locked-in” at the processed date or the
date that your financial aid is initially calculated by SF, whichever
is later. This same financial aid awarding process will also apply
to the spring and summer terms of 2011. Please plan accordingly
in scheduling your courses for future terms, and for any flexterms
within the terms.
 4
Fall enrollment dates, categories, and examples
are as follows:
Fall term: 8/23/10 to 12/03/10
Fall A flexterm: 8/23/10 to 10/06/10
Fall B flexterm: 10/18/10 to 12/03/10
12 credit hrs. is full time 12 hrs: 6 fall + 3 fall A + 3 fall B
9-11 credit hrs. is 3/4 time 9 hrs: 3 fall + 3 fall A + 3 fall B
6-8 credit hrs. is 1/2 time 7 hrs 4 fall + 3 fall B
5 or less credit hrs. is <1/2 time 4 hrs: 3 fall + 1 fall B
Students registering for flexterm courses will receive financial
aid checks based on the combined flexterm and standard term
enrollment. If you have any questions about flexterm enrollment
and your financial aid, please contact the Financial Aid Office at
financial.aid@sfcollege.edu or (352) 395-5480.
Enrollment Status and Aid
Adjustment at “Lock-in” Date
After the lock-in date there are no adjustments to aid. Your
award will be based on your recorded enrollment status and it will
not increase or decrease after the lock-in date.
Adjustment of Financial Aid Awards
You will receive a tentative financial aid award based on full-
time enrollment. At the lock-in date (which is the end of the regular
drop with a refund date), your enrollment status is recorded and
your award may be adjusted. The examples below illustrate the
adjustment of a 4-month full-time award (standard term) and a
2-month full-time award (flexterm). Note that the amount of your
actual financial aid award depends upon your calculated need.
The following is an example of a 4-month budget (standard
term)
12HRS 9HRS 6HRS
Pell Grant $2675 $2006 $1337
Subsidized Direct Loan $1750 $1750 $1750
The following is an example of 2-month budget (flexterm)
12HRS 9HRS 6HRS
Pell Grant $2675 $2006 $1337
Subsidized Direct Loan $1432 $1796 $2159
Federal Pell Grant is based on your Expected Family
Contribution (EFC) and the number of credits you are taking each
semester. If you are enrolled for less than 12 hours, your Pell award
will be adjusted and, depending on your EFC, your Pell grant may
adjust to zero.
Usually the amount of your Direct Loan will not change.
Prorating is required when your loan period is one term and you
need 12 hours or less to complete your program.
The following is an example based on 6 hours enrollment:
The maximum loan amount will be the annual loan limit
multiplied by the number of hours enrolled divided by 24 (the
number of hours a full-time student is expected to earn within
the academic year).
4500 X 6 = $1125
24
Fee Deferment
A fee deferment is a charge of fees with the promise to pay at the
established deadline. It does not automatically pay your fees; it
only delays the payment. If you have been awarded financial aid,
tuition will be deferred if fees are less than or equal to the amount
of projected financial aid for the term.
If you have not yet been awarded, but have a complete financial
aid file, you may contact the Financial Aid Office for consideration
of a fee deferment. Late applicants should be prepared to pay for
tuition, books, housing, etc.
You will be notified in writing of the fee deferment deadline.
If the total deferred fees are not paid by the deadline, you will be
flagged for a financial obligation to the college with a hold on all
records and will be turned over to collections.
If you drop a class after the drop with a refund date (e.g. during
the period that you would receive a W), you will be responsible for
paying the deferred fees.

the student’s intended housing plans reported in step six of the
FAFSA.
Students With Disabilities
The Financial Aid Office and the Disabilities Resource Center
(DRC) work together to assist students with disabilities. Contact
the DRC for any special needs assistance at (352) 395-4400 voice/
TTY or visit Building S, room 229. Upon request, the DRC will
arrange a meeting with a financial aid specialist.
Veterans Affairs
Veterans assistance programs at SF are coordinated by the
Veterans Affairs Office (R-110), (352) 395-5505. Veterans applying
for financial aid must report all educational benefits and provide
written verification of same to the Financial Aid Office. Veterans
may also be requested to submit a valid DD214 discharge form.
Verification
Verification is the process established by the U.S. Department of
Education to check the accuracy of the information submitted on
the FAFSA. Verification may occur any time during the application
or awarding process. In most cases, applicants are selected by the
U.S. Department of Education; however, the college may also select
a student. If selected, you will be notified by the federal processor
and/or SF. You may be asked to provide the following additional
documents:
Dependent Student
• 2010-2011 Verification Worksheet
• Signed copy of your 2009 federal income tax return
• Signed copy of your parent(s)’ 2009 federal income tax
return(s)
• Any other documents necessary to verify data
Independent Student
• 2010-2011 Verification Worksheet
• Signed copy of your (and spouse’s) 2009 federal income tax
return(s)
• Any other documents necessary to verify data This review
may lengthen the processing time by four to eight weeks.
No money will be awarded until the verification process has
been completed. Each student must complete the verification
process before the end of his or her academic year; files are
inactivated in 30 days if no response is received. If the student
refuses to provide the required verification documents, the
case may be referred to the Office of Inspector General for
resolution.

Misrepresentation of Circumstances
To maintain the integrity of the programs administered by
the Financial Aid Office, all information and documentation
submitted must be accurate and authentic. Students must provide
complete information on all application forms and supplemental
documents. Misrepresentation or the falsification of information
and/or statements on application forms for federal financial aid is
a violation of law and can be considered a criminal offense subject
to penalties under the U.S. Criminal Code. Penalties also apply to
state and institutional student aid funds. If the college has reason
to believe that an applicant has applied for Federal Student Aid
under false pretense, the case may be referred to the Office of
Inspector General for resolution.

Loans are Financial Aid
William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan
(Direct Loan Program)
Santa Fe College participates in the William D. Ford Federal
Direct Loan and the lender is the U.S. Department of Education.
Fees may be deferred and books may be charged to accepted
loans. The amount of the deferment will be limited to the net loan
disbursed. A minimum half-time enrollment status (6-8 hours)
per standard term is required for consideration. The loan will be
disbursed in two installments, and no installment will be greater
than half the loan amount.
A subsidized loan is awarded on the basis of financial need.
If you’re eligible for a subsidized loan, the government will pay
(subsidize) the interest on your loan while you’re enrolled at least
half time, for the first six months after you cease to be enrolled at
least half time, and if you qualify to have your payments deferred.
Depending on your financial need, you may borrow subsidized
money for an amount up to the annual loan borrowing limit for
your level of study (see below).
You might be able to borrow loan funds beyond your subsidized
loan amount even if you don’t have financial need. In that case,
you’d receive an unsubsidized loan. We will subtract the total
amount of your other financial aid from your cost of attendance
to determine the amount of your unsubsidized loan. Unlike a
subsidized loan, you are responsible for the interest from the time
the unsubsidized loan is disbursed until it’s paid in full. You can
choose to pay the interest or allow it to accrue (accumulate) and be
capitalized (that is, added to the principal amount of your loan).
Capitalizing the interest will increase the amount you have to
repay.
You can receive a subsidized loan and an unsubsidized loan for
the same enrollment period as long as you don’t exceed the annual

Loan Proration
Loan proration is a reduction of the standard annual loan limit
for an undergraduate student. Proration of the loan amount is
required if the student’s program, or the remainder of the student’s
program, is less than a full academic year (24 credits) in length.
Over a four-year period beginning July 1, 2008, the interest rate
on subsidized Stafford Loans made to undergraduate students will
be reduced. The applicable interest rates for loans made during
this period are as follows:
First disbursement of a loan*:
Made on or after And made before Interest rate on the
unpaid balance
July 1, 2008 July 1, 2009 6.0 percent
July 1, 2009 July 1, 2010 5.6 percent
July 1, 2010 July 1, 2011 4.5 percent
July 1, 2011 July 1, 2012 3.4 percent
These changes apply to subsidized Stafford Loans first disbursed
on or after July 1 of each year through June 30 of the next year.
This change does not affect any prior loans made to borrowers;
the terms and interest rates of those loans remain the same.
These reduced interest rates apply only to subsidized loans; any
unsubsidized Stafford Loan for the same undergraduate borrower
would continue to be made at the current fixed interest rate of 6.8
percent.
*For loans that are first disbursed between July 1, 2009 and June
30, 2010, there is a fee of up to 1.0 percent of the loan, deducted
proportionately from each loan disbursement.
If this is your first Federal Direct Loan, you must sign a Master
Promissory Note (MPN), a binding legal document that lists the
conditions under which you’re borrowing and the terms under

which you agree to repay your loan. You may access a promissory
note and submit it online at http://dlenote.ed.gov. If you are unable
to complete the MPN online, contact the Financial Aid Office for
assistance. You must also complete and transmit the results of your
online loan orientation at www.sfcollege.edu/financialaid/orientation.

30-Day Hold
Generally, if you’re a first-year undergraduate student and a first-
time borrower, SF will hold your first payment until 30 days after
the first day of your enrollment period. This practice ensures you
won’t have a loan to repay if you withdraw during the first 30 days
of classes.
Borrower Responsibilities
You must keep SF and the federal government informed of any
changes in your:
1) Name loan program for parents of dependent students enables parents
2) Permanent address
3) Name and address of expected employer
4) Address of next of kin
5) Change in enrollment status to less than half time
How will I get the loan money?
For both the Direct Loan and FFEL programs, you’ll be paid
through your school in at least two installments. No installment
may exceed one-half of your loan amount. Your loan money must
first be applied to pay for tuition and fees, room and board, and
other school charges. If loan money remains, you’ll receive the
funds by check or in cash, unless you give the school written
authorization to hold the funds until later in the enrollment period.
A school with a cohort default rate of less than 10 percent for
each of the three most recent fiscal years for which data are
available is not required to delay the delivery or disbursement of
the first disbursement of a loan for 30 days for first-time, first-year
undergraduate borrowers.
Repaying Your Loans
After you graduate, leave school, or drop below half-time
enrollment, you have a period of time before you have to begin
repayment. This “grace period” will be six months for a Direct
Stafford Loan. (If you’re a parent reading this and you have a FFEL
or Direct PLUS Loan, you don’t have a grace period and generally
must begin repayment within 60 days after the loan is fully
disbursed.)
You have a choice of repayment plans (page 6). Your monthly
payment will depend on the size of your debt and the length of
your repayment period. “Funding Education Beyond High School:
The Guide to Federal Student Aid” explains available repayment
options, includes examples of monthly payments for different
loan amounts, and covers other topics you need to consider when
managing your loans. This guide can be found at http://studentaid.
ed.gov/students/publications/student guide/index.html. To use the
calculator to determine your repayment amounts under each of
the different repayment plans go to www.ed.gov/offices/OSFAP/
DirectLoan/calc.html.
Exit Counseling
Exit counseling builds on the information provided during
entrance counseling by reviewing Stafford loans, repayment
options, rights and responsibilities and the consequences of
default. Exit counseling helps students gain the fundamentals
they need to understand and manage their student loan debt. The
institution is required to conduct exit counseling for every student
at the school who borrowed a Stafford loan if the student ceases to
be enrolled at least half time.
You’ll receive exit counseling information through your
eSantaFe account and/or via mail. It is important that you
complete exit counseling to understand repayment options and
your rights and responsibilities as a borrower. We can’t emphasize
enough the importance of making your full loan payment on time
either monthly (which is usually when you’ll pay) or according to
7
your repayment schedule. If you don’t, you could end up in default,
which has serious consequences. Student loans are real loans—
just as real as car loans or mortgages. You have to pay back your
student loans.
Get Your Loan Information
The U.S. Department of Education’s National Student Loan Data
System (NSLDS) allows you to access information on loan and/
or federal grant amounts, your loan status (including outstanding
balances), and disbursements made. Go to www.nslds.ed.gov.
Federal Parent Loans to
Undergraduate Students (PLUS)
SF requires students to complete the FAFSA and have a valid
SAR on file to process a PLUS Loan. For lender information you
may search Google for Federal PLUS Loans. This federal student
to borrow from a lending institution for the students’ education.
Students will not be able to charge tuition or books against
the PLUS loan. The award limit is the college budget less other
financial aid. A minimum half-time enrollment status (6-8 hours)
per standard term is required for consideration and students must
meet minimum standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress.
Policies That Affect You
Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid
Recipients—Minimum Standards
Federal and state regulations require that students meet mini-
mum standards in order to be eligible to receive financial aid
funds. The minimum standards at SF are defined below and are
applied to all financial aid programs administered by the college,
except those programs where eligibility requirements are defined
by institutional or outside donor guidelines:
1. Students must meet an academic performance requirement of
at least a 2.0 all college cumulative grade point average (GPA).
2. Students must make progress toward their degree. Minimum
progress toward a degree requires initial year financial aid
applicants who have previously attended SF to earn 67 percent
of registration attempted at SF.
3. Minimum progress toward a degree requires continuing
financial aid recipients to earn 67 percent of credit hours
attempted during the current academic year for renewal
eligibility. If a continuing financial aid recipient completes zero
credits/hours for any funded term during the academic year,
then he or she will lose all subsequent financial aid awarded
for that academic year.
4. Students must complete their educational objective within
a given time frame. This limit is effective whether or not
financial aid has ever been applied for or received.
a. All transfer credits as well as all SF attempted course work
will be included as attempted credit hours.
b. All A.A., A.S. and A.A.S. degree-seeking students have a
maximum of 90 attempted credit hours.
c. All vocational and certificate (i.e. any 6000 to 7999 program
code such as program code 6507 Office Systems Specialist)
seeking students have a maximum of 45 attempted credit
hours or less.
d. All B.A.S. degree-seeking students have a maximum of 180
attempted credit hours.
Effect of Incomplete Grades, Withdrawals, Remedial
Course Work, and Course Repeats
A student who has no completed credit hours and has
incompletes in a term has 20 school days from the first day of
classes of the following term to make up the incomplete grades
in order to continue receiving funds. Reinstatement of awards
is contingent on a funds-available basis and it is the student’s
responsibility to notify the Financial Aid Office in writing within
the time frame.
If grade changes or incomplete grades made up after the time
frame should affect subsequent terms or academic year eligibility,
 8
students must notify the Financial Aid Office in writing of such
changes.
Withdrawals from any course(s) will be counted in the total
credit hours attempted and may result in failure to meet the
standards of satisfactory academic progress. Students must follow
the official withdrawal procedures established by the college.
Course repeats will be counted in the total attempted credit
hours. See Grades and Reports in the Academic Affairs section of
the college catalog for additional information.
Funding for remedial course work will be limited to 30 credit
hours regardless of whether or not the student received any
financial aid for these remedial (college preparatory courses)
credit hours. For students receiving financial aid, federal
regulations place no limit on the number of ESL (English as a
Second Language) credit hours a student may take. Remedial
and ESL course work are treated the same as other courses for
satisfactory academic progress purposes. Grades received in these
courses will be used in calculating a GPA and hours attempted will
be used to determine the percent of completion. Remedial and ESL
course work will be counted when determining the maximum time
frame for receiving financial aid.
Reinstatement
If a student is denied/suspended from financial aid, the student
must attend a semester or semesters on unaided status until
minimum standards are met.
Determination of Continued Eligibility
Probation/Suspension
Students will be monitored for an all college cumulative 2.0 GPA,
67 percent completion of credit hours attempted and maximum
time frame at the end of every term. Failure to maintain an all
college cumulative 2.0 GPA or failure to earn 67 percent completion
will result in a probationary status that remains until the final
review is performed. Students who complete zero credit hours or
reach the maximum time frame will be suspended/denied from
financial aid.
A final review of satisfactory progress will occur at the end of the
student’s award year. Students who do not meet the above stated
minimum requirement will be suspended from receipt of financial
aid.
Students who have reached the maximum time frame in their
program of study may appeal for consideration of any further
financial aid.
A student will not be eligible for renewal of financial aid if
minimum standards were not met for the prior funded year even
if the cumulative hours earned (entire SF academic record) is 67
percent of all attempted hours.
A student who is suspended because of zero credit hours or
less than 67 percent completed must attend, unaided, until the
completion deficit points are made up for the prior funded year.
Students must have an all college cumulative 2.0 GPA in order to
continue receiving financial aid.
Students have the right of appeal if circumstances warrant
further review.
Appeal
Students have the right to appeal a financial aid denial or
suspension if they have special circumstances that prevented them
from meeting the satisfactory academic progress requirements.
Circumstances that may be considered for this appeal include:
death in the student’s immediate family, medical emergencies,
accidents, divorce or separation of parents, personal tragedy, or
other documented circumstances beyond the student’s control
that prevented him or her from meeting the minimum standards.
Procedure for Review
In order to appeal the decision on this basis, the following
procedures must be used:
1. A request must be submitted by the student in writing to the
Financial Aid Office.
2. The circumstances which prevented satisfactory progress must
be clearly stated.
3. The request must include documentation to support
the exceptional circumstance, such as death certificate,
statement from physician, or other verifiable information. All
documentation is subject to verification by the Financial Aid
Office.
4. Once the review has been made the student will be notified of
the result of the review.
Transfer Student Evaluation
All transfer credits as well as all SF attempted course work will
be included as attempted credit hours.
Transfer students applying for financial aid must have at least an
all college cumulative 2.0 GPA after transfer credits are evaluated
to be eligible to receive financial aid funding. Transfer students
with less than an all college cumulative 2.0 GPA and attempting to
qualify for aid in subsequent terms must either:
1. Raise the all college cumulative GPA to at least a 2.0 or
2. Earn a minimum term GPA of 2.5 for enrollment of at least half-
time status. (This must be performed the first term enrolled at
SF.)
Postsecondary Adult Programs (PSAV)
• PSAV programs greater than or equal to 900 clock hours:
Course work in these PSAV programs will be converted to
credit hours for financial aid payment and will follow the same
satisfactory academic standards as noted above for other credit
programs.
• PSAV programs 600 to 899 clock hours: Course work in these
PSAV programs is based on clock hour attendance. Students
receiving financial aid must successfully complete the clock
hour course work with a 2.0 GPA for each class funded before
additional payment can be made. Duration of eligibility will be
limited to the length of the program.
Federal Repayment Policy
As a result of the Higher Education Act of 1998, a student who
completely withdraws from classes may be required to repay a
percentage of financial aid funds received.
The Registrar’s Office, located in R-101, is the designated office
to contact about withdrawing from the college. Office hours are 8
a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. For official withdrawal
procedures, please see the college catalog.
College refund policy dictates that fees will be refunded in full
for course work dropped during the drop with a refund date or
canceled by the college. However, the federal repayment policy
supersedes the college refund policy for students receiving federal
financial aid and completely withdrawing from the college.
In general, a portion of federal student financial aid (Title IV)
grant or loan funds, but not federal college work study funds, must
be returned to the Title IV programs upon a recipient’s withdrawal
from school. Simply put, any Title IV financial aid recipient who
withdraws within the first 60 percent of the payment period
measured in calendar days owes a portion of unearned aid back to
the federal government. The college will also owe a percentage of
the refund of the institutional costs. Any amount that the college
repays will be billed to the student.
All students receiving Title IV assistance who completely
withdraw are subject to the federal repayment law. This law uses
the terms “earned” and “unearned” Title IV funds when relating
the amount of assistance applicable to the percentage of time
enrolled. It is the unearned portion that becomes the focus of the
Return of Title IV Funds formula.
The school must first determine the percentage of Title IV
assistance the student earned. Up through the 60 percent point
in time, the percentage of assistance earned is equal to the
percentage of the payment period completed as of the day the
student withdrew. If the withdrawal occurs after the 60 percent

point, then the percentage earned is 100 percent, and no refund/
repayment is required. The difference between the earned Title
IV assistance and 100 percent equals the percentage of unearned
Title IV funds that are therefore subject to repayment by the
school and/or the student. Any required repayment is allocated
back to the Title IV programs in order specified by law.* A student
must repay the portion of the original grant overpayment that
is in excess of half of the total Title IV grant funds that he or she
received or could have received. The student does not have to repay
grant overpayments of $50 or less per program. Any repayment of
Title IV loans is to be repaid under the conditions of the existing
promissory note.
A student who owes a grant repayment remains ineligible
for further Title IV assistance until the grant is repaid, unless
the student and the U.S. Department of Education agree on a
satisfactory repayment arrangement. The U.S. Department of
Education allows a student to retain eligibility for 45 days from
the date that the institution sends the repayment notification to
the student. To continue eligibility past 45 days, the student will
either have to pay the overpayment in full or make satisfactory
arrangement with the U.S. Department of Education to repay.
For more specific information regarding this policy or for
examples of the repayment formula, please contact the Financial
Aid Office at (352) 395-5480.

Interested in a Direct Loan
or Summer 2011?
Download and submit to our office the summer financial aid
application that will be available in early spring 2011. Please read
the information below regarding your loan eligibility for the fall
2011 term.
If you have been awarded Direct Loans for the fall and spring
terms of the 2010-2011 academic year and are interested in Direct
Loans for summer 2011 term, the following may apply to you:
You may have less loan eligibility for the fall 2011 term if your
summer loan award exceeds one-half of the maximum you are
entitled to borrow in an academic year (an 8-month period).
Your academic year limit is based on your grade level (first or
second year in program) and dependency status (independent or
dependent).
The amount of your award is based on the assumption of full-
time enrollment in the full term. The amount of your award is
based on your registration (number of credit hours) and on the
enrollment period (full semester and/or flexterm) and it may
change accordingly.
Example 1
John is a dependent first year student. During the summer
2011, he was awarded a subsidized loan for $3500. The
maximum eligibility of his fall 2011 loan is $0. This amount is
the difference between his loan limit ($3500) and the summer
loan award ($3500) = $0.
Example 2
Mary is an independent first year student. During the summer
2011, she was awarded a subsidized loan for $3500 and an
unsubsidized loan for $1500. She has no additional subsidized
loan eligibility for fall 2011 because her summer 2011
subsidized loan for $3500 was the maximum she is entitled to
borrow per academic year. For fall 2011 the maximum amount
of her unsubsidized loan eligibility is $2500. This amount is the
difference between her unsubsidized loan limit ($4000) and
her summer 2011 loan award ($1500) = $2500.Should you have
any questions regarding your loan eligibility, please contact the
Financial Aid Office at financial.aid@sfcollege.edu or call (352)
395-5480.
