Terms of Agreement

By accepting financial aid funding you are entering into an agreement with the Financial Aid Department to adhere to the following rules and conditions (terms).

 

UPON ACCEPTANCE OF FINANCIAL AID, I CERTIFY THAT:

 

  • I will enroll in an eligible program and attend classes at one (or more) of the campuses/centers through State Center Community College District.
  • I have a high school diploma, GED, or have passed the Ability to Benefit (ATB) Test.
  • To the best of my knowledge, the information contained in my financial aid application is correct and complete. SCCCD has my permission to verify this information and I agree to release to the Financial Aid Office copies of my Federal Income Tax Return Transcript and other income and asset verification upon request.
  • I will maintain an up-to-date mailing address with Admissions and Records, and I will activate and regularly check my student e-mail account. I will promptly answer all emails and correspondence related to my financial aid application.
  • I understand that all financial aid grants I’m awarded are subject to availability of funds, and eligibility for the Pell Grant is limited to twelve full-time semesters (or the equivalent of 600% of my scheduled awards).
  • I understand that my financial aid package is based on full-time (12+ units) enrollment, and my financial aid award amounts are subject to adjustment according to my enrollment intensity (number of units I’m enrolled in).
  • I will notify the Financial Aid Office if I change the number of units I’m taking, change attending institution, or enroll in more than one institution.
  • I cannot receive financial aid from any college outside of SCCCD during the same semester that I receive financial aid from a SCCCD college. *Receiving financial aid from a different college will result in repayment to SCCCD.
  • I must be enrolled in and attending my classes/units two weeks before my financial aid funds are disbursed, wait-listed courses will not count toward the disbursement amount, and any fees owed to the institution will be subtracted from the disbursement amount prior to my disbursement.
  • If I receive financial aid for classes which I later drop, or No-Show drop, or fail, I may be required to repay the financial aid funds and may be ineligible to receive any additional financial aid funds until my repayment is resolved.
  • I understand that I may only receive federal financial aid funding for one repeat of a previously passed course.
  • I have read the Satisfactory Progress Policy (SAP) on the Fresno City College website. I understand that my satisfactory academic progress will be verified at the end of each semester and if I cease to meet the SAP standards I will no longer be eligible for financial aid.
  • Veteran’s Educational Benefits, EOP&S book vouchers and scholarship awards may reduce my eligibility for additional aid. I realize payment of EOP&S or OASIS funds are contingent upon compliance with all applicable guidelines.
