If you receive (or your school or parent receives on your behalf) excess Title IV program funds that must be returned, your school must return a portion of the excess equal to the lesser of: 1. Your institutional charges multiplied by the unearned percentage of your funds, OR 2. The entire amount of excess funds. The school must return this amount even if it didn't keep this amount of your Title IV program funds. If your school is not required to return all of the excess funds, you must return the remaining amount. Any loan funds that you must return, you (or your parent for a PLUS Loan) repay in accordance with the terms of the promissory note. That is, you make scheduled payments to the holder of the loan over a period of time. Any amount of unearned grant funds that you must return is called an overpayment. The maximum amount of a grant overpayment that you must repay is half of the grant funds you received or were scheduled to receive. You must make arrangements with your school or the Department of Education to return the unearned grant funds. The requirements for Title IV program funds when you withdraw are separate from any refund policy that your school may have. Therefore, you may still owe funds to the school to cover unpaid institutional charges. Your school may also charge you for any Title IV program funds that the school was required to return. You can view the tuition refund policy and requirements and procedures for withdrawing from school at: https://chancellor.maricopa.edu/public-stewardship/governance/administrative-regulations/2-students/2.2-admission- registration-enrollment 2.2.12 Vaccinations (As Required by 20 USC §1092(a)(1)V)) The Maricopa County Community College District does not require that students receive vaccinations prior to enrollment. Certain professional or occupational programs do require particular vaccinations for participation in those programs. More information about these programs can be found on college websites. 2.9 Veterans Services The Maricopa Community Colleges' veterans' services offices act as liaisons with the Department of Veterans Affairs. Each program must be approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Students may be eligible to receive educational benefits if they are registered in courses that apply to the student's approved programs. Application forms, counseling, advisement and tutoring are available for students who are eligible for veteran's educational benefits. Students applying for veteran's educational benefits should allow eight to ten weeks before receiving benefits. The amount of benefits awarded is determined by the Department of Veterans Affairs, and is based on the number of credit hours or clock hours for which a student is enrolled and the length of enrollment period for each course. Veteran's benefits available: • Chapter 30 - Montgomery GI Bill • Chapter 31 - Vocational Rehabilitation (separately served through the local VA office) • Chapter 32 - VEAP Program • Chapter 33 - Post 9/11 GI Bill and Transfer of Eligibility to Dependents (TOE) • Chapter 35 - Survivors and dependents of deceased/100% disabled veterans • Chapter 1606 - Montgomery GI Bill, Selected Reserve • Chapter 1607 - REAP Reserve Educational Assistance Program It is the student's responsibility to notify the office that serves veterans at their campus regarding any change in enrollment, address, program of study, enrollment at another institution, or any other change that may impact their veteran's educational benefits. Those students receiving benefits must follow the VA academic progress policy to continue to receive benefits. Academic Progress Policy for Students Receiving Veteran's Educational Benefits Department of Veterans Affairs regulations require that all persons using any type of veteran educational assistance program make satisfactory academic progress toward achievement of their educational objective (program of study). A student who does not meet the minimum standards of 2.0 upon completion of 12 or more credit hours will be placed on probation, at which point the student will have no more than two semesters in which to improve academic standing to acceptable. At this point, if satisfactory academic progress has not been demonstrated, veteran educational benefits will be terminated. Benefits may be resumed when the student raises the cumulative grade point average to the required minimum standards or demonstrates the ability to meet these standards through the approval of a written appeal. For appeal procedures, contact the office that serves veterans at your campus. For additional details and information regarding veteran's educational benefits, contact the office that serves veterans at your campus.
