FINANCIAL INFORMATION
51
Students are encouraged to visit the Financial Aid Of ce prior to withdrawing to obtain an estimate of the amount that may be owed. If students owe funds to ED, they will be given 45 days to repay the funds or make satisfactory repayment arrangements with ED. After that time, students will lose federal nancial aid eligibility. In addition, if students owe funds to SCC, they will not be permitted to reenroll at SCC or request a transcript until those funds have been repaid.
If students stop attending classes but do not initiate the withdrawal procedure, they may be administratively withdrawn from class by their instructor, according to the col- lege’s attendance policy for students.
Special Circumstances
The formulas used to determine eligibility for federal student aid are applied consis- tently to all applicants. Students should contact the SCC Financial Aid Of ce if they feel they have special circumstances that might affect their dependency status or the amount they and their family are expected to contribute. These circumstances could include a fam- ily’s unusual medical expenses, or recent unemployment of either the student, a spouse, or either parent (if applicable). There must be very good reasons to make any adjustment, and students will have to provide adequate documentation to support this request. The Financial Aid Director’s decision is nal and cannot be appealed to the U.S. Department of Education.
