10 PLANNING YOUR 168-HOUR WEEK

Being a CCV student usually involves a great deal of responsibility and very little time to accomplish everything. It’s kind of like juggling. To be successful in college, time management is key, and your first step will be developing a plan for your time. We all begin each week with 168 hours. Estimate the number of hours per week that you will dedicate to each of the activities below and add them together to get a total. Will you be able to fit it all in and maintain a healthy lifestyle?

Your Time Commitments

Sleep ( = ___ hours per night x 7) _________ Hours

Meals ( = ___ hours per day x 7) + _________ Hours

Class(es) (including commute) + _________ Hours

Studying and homework (2-3 hours per credit hour recommended) + _________ Hours

Work (including commute) + _________ Hours

Family and friends + _________ Hours

Activities (hobbies, exercise, volunteer work, spiritual practices, etc.) + _________ Hours

Extra responsibilities (laundry, shopping, paying

bills, cleaning, etc.) + _________ Hours

Personal care (showers, grooming, etc.) + _________ Hours

Free time + _________ Hours

Other: _______________________ + _________ Hours

________________________ Total = _________ Hours

168 – Total ____ = _______ Hours Remaining

If your total is more than 168: You’ll have to cut back. There simply aren’t enough hours available. Reassess the time you’ve set aside above and decide what you can reasonably reduce.

If your total is between 165 and 168: You have a very busy schedule! Consider cutting back. This may not be a manageable schedule as you don’t have enough time for the unpredictability of life. Reassess the time you’ve set aside above and decide what you can reasonably reduce.

If your total is less than 165: Congratulations! You have designed what should be a manageable plan for your time. Now, map out your typical week and when you will do all of the tasks listed above.

Out-of-state students seeking in-state status must submit a completed In-State Tuition Application, available at http://ccv.edu/pay/residency-requirements-state-tuition/

Permanent residents of other New England states may be eligible for the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE) Tuition Break Program which allows them to enroll in a CCV degree or certificate program and pay a special tuition rate of approximately 75% of the current out-of-state tuition. The same tuition rate applies to New York residents of Washington and Rensselaer counties who enroll as degree students.

Tuition Waivers for Senior CitizensVermont citizens who are 65 or older are eligible for a tuition waiver at any VSC institution. To be eligible, senior citizens must be non-matriculated (non-degree seeking). Classes must first attain a sufficient enrollment level, and a senior citizen may not take the place of a paying student in classes with enrollment limits. Seniors must pay relevant registration and course fees. Suitable evidence of eligibility must be provided before a waiver can be issued. Call your local CCV office for more information.

AuditCCV allows students who are not interested in receiving academic credit to audit courses. Audit students pay full tuition and fees and must declare their audit status at the time of registration. Audit students receive a grade of AU and do not receive credit or documentation for the course.

CCV is committed to helping its students apply for and receive needed financial aid. Visit the financial aid section on the CCV website at http://ccv.edu/pay/financial-aid/, and see the financial aid counselor at your local CCV office for assistance.

Rights & Responsibilities of Financial Aid RecipientsAn important part of the financial aid process is to know and understand your rights and responsibilities regarding state and federal financial aid.

Student Rights A financial aid recipient has the right to:

• Federal Pell Grant – Need-based grant for a student without a first bachelor’s degree.The exact award amount varies, depending on the student’s course load and financial need. The maximum award for 2013-2014 was $5,635; check the CCV website for the most current information.

• Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) – Need-based grant for a student without a first bachelor’s degree. Award amounts vary based on student’s course load and financial need and availability of funds. The maximum award depends on availability of funds.

• Federal Work-Study Program (FWSP) – Need-based financial aid offered in the form of part-time employment at CCV or at other eligible employers. Students interested in work-study employment should check with local CCV academic center staff.

WWW.CCV.EDU 21

22 FINANCIAL AID

How Awards Are Calculated & DeterminedYou and/or your family are expected to contribute to your education from your own earnings and assets according to your and your family’s means. This takes into account income, assets, household size, and other relevant information. Financial aid is made available after a determination that your or your family’s resources are insufficient to meet your educational expenses. Federal, state, and College guide-lines and regulations of the various financial aid programs are also considered, as well as current funding levels. Selection of financial aid recipients is made in accordance with CCV’s Nondiscrimination Policy.

In most cases, the amount of financial aid offered will not exceed the amount needed to meet the difference between your total educational expenses and your (or your family’s) resources. In cases where funds are limited, priority is given to students who complete all relevant paperwork in a timely manner.

The College determines cost of attendance for its students. The cost reflects a reasonable allowance for room and board, books, supplies, travel, personal expenses, and any applicable loan fee. (Purchase of a car or a computer are not calculated in the cost of attendance.) Loan fees are estimated on CCV’s average annual student loan volume from the prior academic year.

You are responsible for obtaining textbooks before the first class meeting. If your financial aid is adequate, up to $500 of textbook costs may be charged against it. See your financial aid counselor to complete CCV Financial Aid Advance to Purchase Textbooks (FAAPT) form.

As far as travel expenses are concerned, we realize that there may be great disparity between the amounts of travel required for students to attend classes that are held in locations all over the state. In order to treat all students equally, an average travel allowance is computed each academic year and is applied uniformly to all student budgets.

If you have attended another college within the last 12 months, CCV will access the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) to determine your past federal financial aid. The result could affect the amount of aid for which you are eligible for the balance of the financial aid year.

Your enrollment status also influences the amount of financial aid you can be awarded. Enrollment per semester, for financial aid purposes, is as follows:

3 - 5 credits ................................ less than half-time 6 - 8 credits ...............................................half-time 9 - 11 credits ..............................three-quarter time 12 or more credits .....................................full-time

WWW.CCV.EDU 23

How You Are Notified of Your EligibilityWe will officially inform you of your eligibility for financial aid by sending you an award letter. You can also view your awards online through Web Services, accessed through the student portal. If you wish to decline or modify the Direct Loan amount you have been awarded, you must notify us in writing. If you haven’t received an award letter by the fifth week of classes, contact your financial aid counselor.

If you have applied and been approved for a Federal Direct Loan, you will receive a loan disclosure notice from the federal Department of Education. We will notify you within 30 days of the date your loan funds are placed on your student account. Your financial aid eligibility may change within a semester based on changes in your enrollment status, receipt of other financial aid, or other circumstances. We will send you a revised award notification if your eligibility changes for these or other reasons.

How Financial Aid Is Paid to Your AccountAt the end of the College’s add/drop period, we verify your attendance in all your courses before we disburse grant or loan funds to your account. You must attend classes to receive your financial aid. Once your attendance for a semester is verified, your Pell, SEOG, student loans, VSAC grant and other grant aid are credited to your account. All financial aid is applied to your bill to cover the cost of tuition and fees. Any financial aid in excess is considered a cash disbursement (refund) to help you defray the costs of books, supplies, travel, and other expenses. These funds will be sent to you within 14 business days of the credit balance.

If you are eligible for a cash disbursement from SEOG, PELL, VSAC grant, or other grant/scholarship aid, and part of your charges are paid by a third party (a relative, your employer, or an agency such as PSE or the Textbook Assistance Fund), we will reimburse the third party’s portion first.

Adjustment of Aid Based on Student Drop or WithdrawalYour financial aid is initially awarded based on your intended or actual enrollment status at the start of a given semester. If courses are added or dropped within the add/drop period, your financial aid will be adjusted to reflect your eligibility, based on your enrollment status at the end of the add/drop period.

If you withdraw from all courses in a given semester, CCV is required to determine if any federal financial aid has to be returned to the federal financial aid programs, whether or not any financial aid funds have already been given to you as a cash disbursement (refund). Where required, CCV must repay the federal financial aid programs in the following order: Unsubsidized Federal Direct Stafford loans; Subsidized Federal Direct Stafford loans; Federal Direct PLUS loans; Federal Pell grants; Federal SEOG Program aid; other assistance.

24 FINANCIAL AID

A financial aid student dropping his/her full academic program (all semester courses) will result in that student having a remaining bill ranging from the $65 registration fee to possibly the entire bill for tuition and fees. If loans are involved, the student could be liable for repaying a percentage of that total amount as well.

If you have applied and been approved for a Federal Loan, you will receive a loan disclosure notice from the federal Department of Education. We will notify you within 30 days of the date your loan funds are placed on your student account. Your financial aid eligibility may change within a semester based on changes in your enrollment status, receipt of other financial aid, or other circumstances. We will send you a revised award notification if your eligibility changes for these or other reasons.

NOTE: For optimal use of Federal Title IV financial aid, the student must attend classes and complete courses. If circumstances arise that impede attendance, s/he should seek advice regarding the financial impact of terminating enrollment in the CCV academic program.

Maintaining Your Financial Aid EligibilityAttendanceYou must attend classes regularly in order to get your financial aid award. To stop attending has serious consequences for your financial aid eligibility. CCV may have to return funds to the funding agency. The College, in turn, will bill you. If you think you have to drop courses or leave the College, discuss your decision with your academic advisor and financial aid counselor before you stop attending classes.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Financial aid awards are conditional on your making satisfactory academic progress in your course of study according to CCV’s Academic Progress and Financial Aid policies. (Review the complete Satisfactory Academic Progress policy at http://ccv.edu/policy or request a written copy from your financial aid advisor.)

First of all, you must meet and maintain good academic standing as defined by CCV. In addition, federal regulations say that you may not receive Title IV financial aid if you are not progressing at a rate which will allow you to complete your degree program within 150% of the credits required. This rate is derived by taking your total attempted credits and dividing by your total earned college-level credits. Attempted credits are credits for which you registered and attended at least one class meeting. Financial aid is available for a limit of 90 attempted credits for an associate degree.

NOTE: If you already have a college degree, special circumstances may apply to your aid eligibility. Please talk to a CCV financial aid counselor about your previous degree.

WWW.CCV.EDU 25

Basic Skills LimitYou are not eligible for federal financial aid for more than 24 credits of remedial or developmental course work. Courses in English Language Learning (ELL) are not included. In addition, any developmental skills course work you take must be considered necessary for you to pursue a regular post-secondary program.

Repeated Coursework

If you repeat a course because you failed it in a previous term or because you wish to improve your grade, then the credits for that course are included in the total number of credits that you are taking when determining enrollment status for Pell awards. After successfully completing the repeated coursework, you cannot receive financial aid for a course if you wish to further improve the grade by repeating it a third time. Remember that repeated courses add to the total number of credits attempted and the number of credits of aid for which you are eligible. See Academic Standing Policy at www.ccv.edu/policy.

Financial Aid AppealsFederal regulations require that a college permits appeals made by individual students to reinstate their eligibility in extraordinary circumstances. CCV has an appeal process that takes into consideration a student’s patterns of completion throughout their enrollment at CCV, extraordinary circumstances, and a very specific plan for completing a degree program. A student who wishes to appeal a financial aid eligibility decision must submit an appeal to a financial aid appeals board, consisting of the academic dean, the dean of students, and the director of financial aid (or their designees).

In preparing and submitting an appeal, the student must include four pieces: 1. A letter detailing circumstances that resulted in financial aid ineligibility

related to Satisfactory Academic Progress and how those circumstances have changed;

2. An approved CCV Degree Plan; 3. Documentation of successful completion of the Basic Skills Assessment; 4. A specific semester-by-semester schedule of courses for completing the

degree. This schedule assumes that all credits attempted will be completed with a grade of C– or better (no dropped/withdrawn courses, no incomplete courses, and no D, F, or NP grades). The plan must be submitted with advisor approval.

Appeals must be received by the following schedule: • July 1 for financial aid eligibility for the following fall semester; • December 1 for financial aid eligibility for the following spring semester; • April 1 for financial aid eligibility for the following summer semester.

CCV’s financial aid appeals board will have the authority to extend financial aid eligibility for an approved completion plan on a semester-by-semester basis.
