Refund Policy (R2T4 Calculations)
It is the policy of Denmark Technical College to refund tuition, and fees, to students who officially leave the college, depending on the last date of attendance. For students who are receiving financial aid, regardless of the source, the Ffinancial Aid Office will adjust aid based on the recalculation completed by the Business Office to determine the percentage of earned aid for students who withdraw, are dismissed, or take a leave of absence prior to completing 60% of the semester. If a student owes a balance
to the College, he or she will be notified by the Business Office. A copy of the official recalculation is available in the Business Office.
A refund check will be generated for accounts that have a credit balance after application of all financial aid. However, withdrawal or changes in enrollment status may affect the Rrefund Ccheck. Refunds are issued within a 14-day period disbursement.
Students will be refunded 100% of tuition and fees if the classes they are enrolled in are cancelled by the college.
Students who never attend class will be considered to have constructively withdrawn before the start of term.
A student who withdraws or otherwise ceases attendance has lost SFA eligibility and generally may not be paid further funds for the enrollment period. However, in some cases, a late disbursement may be made. This determination must be made on a case-by-case basis according to Title IV Student Financial Assistance Guidelines.
The College will disburse refunds twice during the Semester. Refunds will be given to students during week thirteen and week sixteen of the Fall and Spring semesters. The Summer term will issue refunds during week four and week six.
Refunds to Veterans, Non-Degree – Refunds to veterans and/or orphans of veterans will be made subject to the limitations set in VA Regulation 12204.1. The College agrees to furnish each Public Law 500 Veteran and/or orphan a copy of the refund policy upon request.
Requesting a Refund After Overpayment — If a student anticipates a refund due to an overpayment, the student should check with the Cashier. All refunds will be processed and payable by check within 14 days after the account has been reconciled.
Financial Aid
Students who have satisfactory academic records and are in need of aid may qualify for financial assistance. Although the primary responsibility for financing an education remains with students and their families, Denmark Technical College participates in several programs designed to supplement the family contribution in order to meet the financial need of the student. Financial aid may consist of grants, loans, scholarships, employment opportunities, and/or any combination of these as determined by the policies of the Financial Aid Office.
Philosophy
- The primary purpose of financial aid is to provide financial assistance to students who need additional resources to pursue their educational and career goals and objectives.
- Financial assistance may be offered in the form of grants, loans, employment, scholarships and/or any combination of resources listed.
- Determination of the student’s eligibility to continue receiving financial assistance is based upon the student’s ability to make “satisfactory progress” according to the College’s Financial Aid Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP).
- The Financial Aid Office reserves the right to review and cancel awards at any time because of change in the student’s financial or academic status.
The Major Federal Aid Programs
Federal Pell Grant – Pell Grants provide non-repayable funds to eligible applicants and are intended to be the foundation of a combination of awards. These grants may be used for payments of tuition, books and living expenses, but do not to covercover the full cost of these items. Students can receive Pell Grants for a maximum of 8 terms to complete their undergraduate education. (A financial aid year includes fall, spring, and summer terms.) Students must graduate in 150% of the time it takes to complete their major. (See a Financial Aid counselor for a detailed explanation).
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) – FSEOG’s are awarded to students with exceptional financial need. At Denmark Technical College, FSEOG’s are awarded to students who have remaining eligibility after being considered for a Pell Grant and part-time work.
Federal Direct Loans – The U.S. Department of Education offers low-interest loans to eligible students to help cover the cost of college or career school. Repayment with interest begins six months after the student stops attending college at least half-time. A subsidized loan means that the Federal Government will pay the interest on the loan while you are enrolled in college on at least a half-time basis and during the grace period or, if possible, deferment period. Unsubsidized loans are available if you do not qualify for other types of financial assistance. An unsubsidized loan means that you are responsible for paying all interest on the loan.
Federal PLUS Loans –The Federal Plus Loan Program was established to ease the burden that the cost of post- secondary education places on many families. Federal PLUS loans are available to parents of dependent students who need additional financial assistance or who may not qualityqualify for other types of financial assistance.
Federal Work-Study (FWS) – The Federal Work-Study Program provides part-time employment for eligible undergraduate and graduate students. Most FWS jobs are located on campus, although some community service-related jobs are available off-campus. Federal Work-Study students are paid bi-weekly.
South Carolina Aid Programs
South Carolina Need-Based Grant (SCNBG) – is designed to provide additional financial aid assistance to South Carolina’s neediest students. In order to receive SCNBG, you must comply with some requirements:
- Be a legal resident of the State of South Carolina.
- Be of good moral character, have no felony convictions or criminal record.
- Admitted and enrolled at least half-time as an undergraduate student seeking your first undergraduate degree.
- Make satisfactory academic process as defined by the College catalog.
