Federal Direct Loans

Federal Direct Loans are a form of financial aid that must be repaid with interest. There are two types of Direct Loans:

  • Direct Subsidized Student Loan: Awarded based on need to undergraduate students. The Department of Education pays interest while students are enrolled in school in at least six credits/units. Payments are automatically deferred while students are enrolled in at least six credits/units.
  • Direct Unsubsidized Student Loan: Non-need-based loan available to undergraduate and graduate students. The student is responsible for interest while in school. Payments are automatically deferred while students are enrolled in at least six credits/units.

Financial Aid Offers 

Students are notified by email with a financial aid offer when their application is processed. The initial aid offer is based on the assumption that students will enroll in 12+ credits/units each term, which is considered full-time. Students may still be eligible for aid at a lower enrollment intensity, although some grant aid will be prorated based on the student's enrollment intensity. 

Students who plan to enroll less than full-time (12 credits/units) will need to complete an Enrollment Change Form to confirm their enrollment intensity and request to have their aid adjusted to their planned enrollment intensity before disbursement of funds.

Financial Aid Disbursement and Tuition Deadlines

Tuition deadlines for each term are published on the College’s website. Students who have been awarded financial aid funds will have a tuition hold placed on their account to prevent a drop for non-payment until funds can be disbursed to pay charges.

Financial aid grants, tuition waivers and loan funds that have been accepted will be automatically used to pay outstanding tuition and fees approximately 1-2 business days before the first day of classes. Please allow additional time for processing and disbursement for summer term.

Any credit balance of financial aid funds remaining after payment of tuition and fees will be refunded to students. Clark College partners with BankMobile to deliver financial aid credit balance refunds. Funds are sent to BankMobile who in turn issues a refund according to the disbursement option selected. Additional information can be found online at: https://bankmobiledisbursements.com/how-it-works/

For questions regarding refund of payments prior to disbursement and tuition balances, please contact the Cashier’s Office.

Financial Aid Census Date and Repayment Policy

The Financial Aid Office uses an “enrollment lock” date for Federal Pell Grant, Washington College Grant, College Bound Scholarship, and Passport to College Promise funds. The “lock” date is also known as the “census date.”

The census date is the 10th business day of the term, except for summer which has a census date of the eighth business day. Through this date, college policy allows students to drop classes without a grade of “W.” Tuition refunds may also be issued for courses dropped following to the Clark College Refund Policy.

Schedule changes made through the census date may have different impacts. Factors to consider include whether aid from the grant programs locked at census have already been disbursed, and whether classes were added or dropped.

Adding Classes

Financial aid funds are increased for enrollment intensity changes from adding eligible courses through the census day. Additional funds awarded are applied toward payment of charges for classes added, and any remaining balance is refunded through BankMobile Disbursements. 

Dropping Classes

Financial aid funds are reduced for enrollment intensity changes resulting from dropping eligible classes through the tenth day. This will result in repayment owed to Clark College and/or the state aid program(s) depending on the funding type received.

Complete Withdrawals

Withdrawing from all financial aid eligible credits/units through the tenth day will result in repayment of all funds received. For Washington College Grant, College Bound Scholarship, Washington Bridge Grant and Passport to College Promise the full balance of the award received will be owed. Repayment of other sources of aid is subject to the Clark College Return of Title IV Repayment Policy requirements and based on number of days attended within the term. 

Late Starting and/or Early Ending Classes

Classes that start after the census date and/or end before the last day of the term are considered module courses. Eligible module classes are included in the enrollment intensity at the time of disbursement as long as the student was enrolled in the course(s) by the census date. Students who withdraw from a module class on or before the scheduled course start date are considered to have not commenced attendance and will require an enrollment intensity review. A reduction of eligibility will result if the student did not commence attendance in the enrollment intensity funded. 

Late Enrollment

Clark College may allow enrollment in classes after the census date on case-by-case basis with instructor permission. Late enrollments may result in a funding adjustment.

The complete Financial Aid Census Date and Repayment Policy is available online. Students are encouraged to visit the Financial Aid Office to ask about the impact of dropping classes before making changes to their schedule. 

Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress

Students must meet Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy requirements to remain eligible for federal, state, and institutional financial aid. SAP is reviewed both annually and at the end of each payment period. Students are notified via email if SAP conditions are not met. All terms of attendance, including those in which financial aid was not received, are used in determining SAP status.

There are three standards to the SAP Policy that are evaluated at the end of each term:

I. Grade Point Average (GPA) requirement is to maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA. If the cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 at the end of the term the student will not have met the GPA requirement to remain in good standing. In addition, a student must maintain a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA at the end of their sixth term or an automatic suspension will occur. Courses with an S (Satisfactory), U (Unsatisfactory), I (Incomplete), and W (Withdrawal) do not have an impact on GPA. For repeated coursework, only the highest grade achieved will count in the GPA calculation.

II. Pace of Progression is calculated by dividing the cumulative earned by the cumulative attempted credits/units. When this calculation falls below 67%, a student is no longer on pace to graduate on time. In addition to earning at least 67% of their attempted credits/units, students must also complete all credits/units within their enrollment level which is captured on the census date each term. Pace of progression that is 66.6% or higher will be rounded to 67%. Whether or not aid was received, all program credits/units, including transfer and remedial credits/units, will be taken into consideration. Courses with grades of F (Failed), I (Incomplete), U (Unsatisfactory), W (Withdrawal), Y (In Progress) and repeated courses are included in the calculation of attempted credits/units. Only the highest grade achieved will count as attempted and earned credit/unit for repeated courses. Courses approved on Set-Aside Petitions will count as attempted credits/units. Non-graded coursework and (*) grades are excluded from pace of progression for credit/unit bearing classes. Program changes do not affect pace of progression.

III. Maximum Timeframe is measured to ensure students are taking required courses to complete their certificate or degree. Program progression must be reviewed when students has reached 150% of the length of program. Financial aid recipients will be ineligible for further funding if it is mathematically impossible to complete the program of study within 150% of the length of the program. All credits/units, regardless of whether they were taken while on financial aid, including credits/units removed with an approved Set-Aside Petition are used in calculating maximum timeframe. Transfer credits/units accepted for use towards the current certificate or degree are also included. Repeated credits/units (R grades) are counted as attempted towards maximum timeframe. Transitional support coursework that is attempted and results in an asterisk (*) grade such as ABE, GED, ESL, ENL, and some CAP coursework are excluded from the federal maximum timeframe calculation. Funding of remedial courses is limited to 45 attempted credits/units. Program changes do not affect maximum timeframe.

Additional Maximum Timeframe Information ***

Maximum credit/unit warning notifications will be issued when a student has attempted between 125% and 149.99% of the credits/units required for their declared program. Once a student has attempted 150% of the credits/units required for their declared program, federal financial aid will be suspended.

Financial Aid Warning

Students will be placed on Financial Aid Warning for one term if:

  • Cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 at the end of a term and/or
  • Pace of progression is less than 67% and/or
  • Students on Warning are eligible to receive financial aid the next term of attendance but are in jeopardy of losing their financial aid eligibility. If all SAP requirements are not met at the end of the next term of attendance, financial aid will be suspended. Warning status will be cleared if all SAP requirements are met at the end of the next term of attendance.

Financial Aid Suspension

Students will be placed on financial aid suspension if:

  • On Financial Aid Warning/Probation and
  • Cumulative GPA falls below 2.0 at the end the term and/or
  • Pace of progression is less than 67% and/or
  • Cumulative GPA falls below a 2.0 at the end of the 6th term of attendance and beyond
  • 150% Maximum Timeframe is exceeded
  • Conditions of their Academic Plan have not been met

Students on financial aid suspension are not eligible for future financial aid including grants, work-study, and loans. Financial Aid Suspension remains in place until the student has an approved appeal or has met the reinstatement criteria (See Regaining Financial Aid Eligibility).

Financial Aid Probation

If the Financial Aid Committee approves a student’s appeal, financial aid will be reactivated on a probationary status. Students on Probation are eligible to receive financial aid.

Probation status will be cleared if all SAP requirements are met at the end of the next term of attendance. If all SAP requirements are not, a Financial Aid Suspension will occur (see Financial Aid Warning section for details).

If it is mathematically impossible to meet all SAP requirements by the end of the next term of attendance, the Financial Aid Committee may approve an appeal on an Academic Plan, allowing for an extended Probationary period. If at any time while on an academic plan, the student does not achieve progress towards meeting the pace, term enrollment, and GPA requirements, or other conditions set by the Committee, a Financial Aid Suspension will occur (see Financial Aid Warning section for details).

Appeals

Students have the option to submit an appeal to address financial aid suspension for not meeting any combination of the SAP elements. Appeals must be submitted by the priority processing date listed on the Financial Aid website in order to be considered for the Federal Pell Grant for that term and include all required documentation listed under the appeal type.

Appeals are reviewed by an Appeals Committee which consists of financial aid representatives. The Committee’s decision is final and cannot be appealed further. If the appeal is approved, the student will be placed on a probationary status.  Students are notified of their decision through email.

The Financial Aid Office does not guarantee an appeal submitted will result in an approval. The student is responsible for paying any and all costs of attendance while awaiting an appeal outcome. The Financial Aid Office allows for the following appeals:

Chane of Records SAP Review

SAP is evaluated both annually and at the end of each term. SAP can be re-evaluated for a grade or program change that occurs. Students may notify the Financial Aid Office of a grade or program change by submitting of a Change of Records SAP Review Form and will be notified of any changes via email. 

Reinstatement Criteria

If a student chooses not to appeal or has exhausted the two (2) appeal limit they may be eligible for reinstatement when they have satisfied the following conditions:

  1. Enroll in and successfully complete a term within the enrollment level recorded at census, and
  2. Earn a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher, and
  3. Have a pace of progression of 67% or higher.

In the reinstatement term, receiving grades of F (Failed), I (Incomplete), U (Unsatisfactory), W (Withdrawal), Y (In Progress), and repeating courses may hinder eligibility for financial aid reinstatement and could increase the number of credits/units required to reinstate.

When the reinstatement criteria are met, aid is reactivated based on available funding and may not reflect the original aid offer. Meeting reinstatement criteria does not negate any repayment owed to the financial aid programs or Clark College.

Financial Aid Limitations

  • · FLPC, ESL, IELP, and most CAP classes are not eligible for financial aid. Only CAP 46 and 90 are eligible for financial aid.
  • · Repeating Courses: Once credit/unit is earned, financial aid can only fund one additional attempt of a course.
  • · Financial aid can up to 45 credits/units remedial coursework.
  • · Repayment obligations cannot be appealed.
  • · Lifetime eligibility limits cannot be appealed

This Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy is subject to change at any time due to federal regulations and/or requirements established by the Financial Aid Office.

Clark College Return of Title IV (R2T4) Funds Policy

Financial aid funds are awarded assuming students will attend Clark College for the entire term. If a student withdraws, the Financial Aid Office is required to calculate the amount of Federal Student Aid, also known as Title IV funds, earned and return the unearned part of the aid disbursed for the term.

There are two scenarios where a student is considered withdrawn which will result in a Return of Title IV calculation: official and unofficial withdrawals.

  • Official Withdrawal: When the student officially withdraws from classes through Enrollment Services,
  • Unofficial Withdrawal: When the student stops attending classes before the end of the term and does not complete official withdrawal procedures 

Calculating the Return of Title IV Funds

The Financial Aid Office follows a federal formula approved by Congress to calculate the amount of funds earned and the amount of funds that must be returned. This includes:

  1. Establishing the date of withdrawal, calculating the number of days in the term and the number of days the student was enrolled
  2. Using the number of days attended, calculating the percentage of Title IV funds earned and the amount of Title IV funds that were not earned
  3. Determine the total amount of Title IV aid that must be returned to the Department of Education and allocate the return, in order of priority, established by Congress

Returning of Unearned Funds

The Financial Aid Office will revise the financial aid awards to return unearned funds, in order, to the Department of Education. Students will be notified by email of the Return of Title IV calculation detailing the amount disbursed and the amount earned from each aid program. Students who earned less than the amount disbursed will owe outstanding charges to the college. Separate billing statements will be sent by Clark College Accounting Services. 

Official withdrawals may result in tuition refunds based on the Clark College Refund Policy. Refunds issued as a result of the withdrawal will be applied toward the student’s debt owed by Clark College Accounting Services.

Post-Withdrawal Disbursements

Occasionally, a student may withdraw before all aid they were eligible for was disbursed. If the Financial Aid Office determines the student earned more aid than was disburse, the student may be eligible for a disbursement of funds after the withdrawal. This is considered a post-withdrawal disbursement.

Post-withdrawal disbursements of eligible grant funds will automatically be made to the student account to pay outstanding institutional charges such as tuition and fees. Any remaining credit balance will be refunded directly to the student through BankMobile. Students who are eligible for post-withdrawal disbursement of loan funds will be notified by email of their eligibility with a deadline to claim available funds.

The complete Return of Title IV Policy is available online. Students are encouraged to visit the Financial Aid Office to ask about the impact of withdrawing from classes before making changes to their schedule.
