History of Manhattan AreaTechnical CollegeIn 1965 the Kansas State Board of Educationestablished this institution under authoritygranted by Kansas Statutes Annotated 72-4412and named it the Manhattan Area Vocational -Technical School. Educational programs wereinitially offered on the campus of ManhattanHigh School. MATC’s current campus, locatedat 3136 Dickens Avenue in Manhattan, Kansas,was occupied in 1967.

Through the years, the increasing influence ofadvancing technology in business and industry,health and emergency services, and govern-ment has made strong technical skills a require-ment in most professions. Consequently, thetraining provided at MATC is now referred to astechnical education.

In that spirit, the School was renamed in 1992as Manhattan Area Technical Center. Legislationpassed in 1994, Kansas Senate Bill 586, amend-ed K.S.A. 72-4412, and provided the opportu-nity for technical Schools to apply for conver-sion to technical colleges. In 1996, GovernorBill Graves signed into law Kansas House Bill2606, which amended K.S.A. 72- 4412, anddesignated the School as Manhattan AreaTechnical College. On July 1, 2004, ManhattanArea Technical College separated from USD 383to become an independent entity.

Service TerritorySince its establishment, Manhattan AreaTechnical College has primarily served an areaof Kansas that includes citizens and communi-ties in ten counties including Clay, Dickinson,Geary, Marshall, Morris, Nemaha,Pottawatomie, Riley, Wabaunsee, andWashington. MATC provides advanced educa-tion and technical preparation to studentsfrom communities all over Kansas as well asother states.

Any student who isdropped from a class roster due to excessiveabsenteeism may appeal to the Vice Presidentof Student Services for reinstatement in theclass.

Drop/Withdrawal PolicyNote: An official withdrawal is the date acompleted Course Withdrawal Form isreceived in the Manhattan Area TechnicalCollege office. A student may officially with-draw from a course with no transcripted nota-tion of enrollment if the Drop/Add form iscompleted and received by the MATC officeby the 10th day of the semester. A grade ofW will appear on the student’s transcript if thestudent officially withdraws from a course bythe 42nd day of the semester (see the aca-demic calendar for exact dates). If a coursehas been completed prior to the 44th day ofthe semester, an earned grade cannot bechanged to a W. After the 42nd day the stu-dent will receive a transcripted grade basedon work completed relevant to the courserequirements.

Readmission PolicyA student who withdraws from a programmay return to that program without paymentof a new application fee if the return is withinone year of the date of the student’s with-drawal. The student may return at the nextequivalent start date on a space availablebasis. Returning students must pay any out-standing balances prior to readmission andmust pay tuition based on the rate at the timeof readmission. Any grades previously record-ed on the student’s transcript will remain on

the transcript. A student considering with-drawal should first talk with the MATCCounselor for clarification of options.

A student who is dismissed due to disciplinaryaction or academic reasons may be re-admit-ted to the same program contingent on thefollowing: completion of an MATC applicationform and payment of the application fee; pro-gram space availability based on date of appli-cation submission; re-entry within one year ofthe dismissal date, and/or as stipulated in theterms of dismissal; and payment of all out-standing balances. Returning students will paytuition based on the rate at the time of read-mission. Any grades previously recorded onthe student’s transcript will remain on thetranscript.

Tuition and FeesTuition and fees are due at the beginning ofeach semester and are determined by thenumber of credit hours in which a student isenrolled. A student who has not met this obli-gation within 10 days after the due date maybe dismissed from Manhattan Area TechnicalCollege. Dismissal does not apply to studentswho have financial aid eligibility and plan touse those funds for tuition and fee payment.For those students, payment will be expectedfrom the first financial aid check.

Tuition and FeesRefund PolicyStudents enrolled in an undergraduate coursemay be eligible for a refund of tuition/feesupon official withdrawal from a course orcomplete withdrawal from MATC. Refunds arecalculated based on the day a MATCDrop/Add form is received by the MATCoffice, not when the student stopped attend-ing class. Failure to attend a class does notconstitute official withdrawal. Upon an officialwithdrawal, tuition/fee refunds will be calcu-lated based on the following guidelines:

• Received by the 6th day of the semester =100% refund of tuition & fees

• Received by the 10th day of the semester =80% refund of tuition only

• Received by the 15th day of the semester =50% refund of tuition only

(See academic calendar for exact dates.)

Military-Related RefundsAny Manhattan Area Technical College stu-dent who is serving in the National Guard orreserves and is called to active duty during anacademic term is entitled to a full refund of

tuition and fees for any courses for which thestudent has not received a grade. AnyManhattan Area Technical College studentdrafted and required to report for active dutyduring an academic term is entitled to a fullrefund of tuition and fees for any courses forwhich the student has not received a grade.

No refund of fees and tuition is due for anyclasses for which the student is awarded fullcredit. All refunds are contingent upon verifi-cation of status through official military docu-mentation. Any student who volunteers formilitary service during an academic term willbe subject to MATC’s non-military refund poli-cy.

Title IV Funds Refund PolicyUndergraduate students receiving FederalFinancial Aid who completely withdraw fromManhattan Area Technical College are subjectto the Department of Education’s Return ofTitle IV Funds policy which is different fromthe MATC policy. A copy of the Return of TitleIV Funds policy is available from the MATCFinancial Aid Office. The Financial Aid staff atManhattan Area Technical College is dedicat-ed to assisting students with the process ofapplying for and receiving their financial aid.


The first step in determining eligibility for TitleIV Federal Financial Aid (Pell Grant, SEOGGrant, ACG Grant, Work Study and StaffordStudent Loans) is to complete the FreeApplication for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).Students can complete the FAFSA electronical-ly at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

Although MATC has no priority deadline, werecommend completing the FAFSA prior toJuly 15th (December 15th for the Springsemester) in order to have their financial aidavailable at the beginning of the semester andbe eligible for a textbook voucher, if applica-ble. FAFSA applications received after July15th may not be processed until after thesemester begins and may not be eligible for atextbook voucher. For the results of the FAFSAto be processed by MATC, students must havesubmitted an admissions application.

For students to be eligible for Title IV aid atMATC they must be:

• Enrolled in a Technical Certificate orAssociate of Applied Science degree pro-gram

• Enrolled at least half-time

• A high school graduate or have a GED

• A U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen

• Registered with Selective Service, if requiredto do so

• In good standing with previous studentloans (students cannot be in default on afederal education loan, or owe a repaymenton a federal grant)

• Maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress(2.0 GPA or higher and complete 75% ofenrolled classes)

All students at Manhattan Area TechnicalCollege who are borrowing under the FederalFamily Educational Loan program for the firsttime must be in school 30 days before loanproceeds are disbursed. All financial aid, withthe exception of Federal Work Study and theFederal Parent PLUS Loan, is applied directly toa student’s account on a semester basis. Aftertuition and fees are paid, any remaining creditbalance will be returned to the student.

Satisfactory AcademicProgressFederal regulations require that financial aidrecipients maintain Satisfactory AcademicProgress (SAP) in order to remain eligible forTitle IV Federal Financial Aid (Federal PellGrant, Federal Supplemental EducationalOpportunity Grant, Academic Competiveness

Grant, Federal College Work Study, FederalStafford Student Loans and Federal ParentLoans).

Satisfactory AcademicProgress at MATC requires:• Cumulative GPA of 2.00 (C average), on a

4.00 scale, or higher for all courseworktaken at MATC (including general educationcourses).

• Completion of at least 75% of attemptedcredit hours. For example: If a studentattempts 15 credit hours but only completes9 credit hours, he/she will have only com-pleted 60% of the attempted hours and willnot meet SAP guidelines.

• Maximum hours attempted at MATC(including general education courses) cannotexceed 150% of the published length of thestudent’s program. For example: Studentsenrolled in a 40 credit hour technical certifi-cate program may be eligible for Title IVFederal Aid for a maximum of 60 credithours. Students enrolled in a 62 credit hourassociate degree program may be eligiblefor Title IV Federal Aid for a maximum of 93credit hours.

• At the end of each semester, or when other-wise requested, grades are submitted andSatisfactory Academic Progress is deter-mined. All students not meeting SAP arenotified in writing that they are not eligiblefor Title IV Federal Aid for the next semes-ter. Continued unsatisfactory work may begrounds for dismissal from the program.

• Title IV Federal Aid can be reinstated whenSAP requirements (listed above) are met orby appeal. In order to appeal, a studentmust complete the Satisfactory AcademicProgress Appeal Form available in the MATCoffice or at www.matc.net.

• A student who has lost Title IV Federal Aideligibility may still enroll and pay tuition andfee charges from their own resources.
