SUMMER 2011 AWARD POLICY

Students requesting summer aid must be matriculated students at Cayuga Community College. Applicants must submit a "Request Form" to be evaluated for summer aid. Awards will be evaluated as follows:

1.  PELL:

Eligibility for a PELL Grant will be calculated based on registration status.  To maximize eligibility for summer 2011 Pell, students should complete both the 2010-2011 FAFSA and the 2011-2012 FAFSA online at www.fafsa.gov.

2.  Campus-Based Aid:

Placement of college work study positions will be done upon request from departments and availability of funds.

3.  Direct Loans:

In order to be evaluated for a 2011 summer loan a student must submit a loan request form. The student must have a 2010/11 Federal Student Aid Report on file.  Loan recipients must attend 6 credits.  What a student borrowed during the previous Fall/Spring semester will affect eligibility to borrow during the summer session.  Summer loans will be disbursed in two separate disbursements once a student has begun attendance in six or more credits.  For a schedule of summer disbursements, see the Financial Aid Office.

4.  TAP Awards:

Students who want to defer tuition on an approved TAP Award Certificate must complete an approval form in the Financial Aid Office.  TAP awards are based on a 2011/12 application and normally are not received until October 2012. Students must be registered for 6 credits for TAP.  TAP deferrals will not be available unless the New York State budget is passed prior to the summer bill due date.

Deferments - For summer, students may defer tuition on approved awards from PELL, TAP or student loans.  Book deferrals can be processed on excess aid from actual PELL, TAP or student loans awards.

Refunds/Withdrawals - If a student is eligible for a "Refund" (i.e. drops during Refund Period) awards may be adjusted.  If a student withdraws from summer courses their financial aid awards may be adjusted or cancelled.

Student Responsibilities - The students are responsible to let the Financial Aid Office know if anticipated enrollment in courses changes from that which was indicated on the "Request Form".  Students who do not attend classes and are withdrawn may owe the college money.

Disbursements - Any remaining PELL will be disbursed in mid-July.  No excess financial aid will be refunded to students until an amount exceeding a student's bill is eligible for disbursement.  Student loan disbursements are described above.
