7/28/06 - The Return of Title IV Federal Students Aid Policy section was updated. The original version follows:

Return of Title IV Federal Student Aid Policy

Federal Regulations regarding repayment of federal financial aid have changed the formula for calculating the amount of aid a student and school may retain when a student withdraws. Students who withdraw from ALL classes prior to completing more than 60% of an enrollment term will have their eligibility for federal aid recalculated based on the percentage of the term completed, which shall be calculated as follows:

Number of Days Completed by Student
Total Number of Days in Term

The total number of calendar days in a term excludes any scheduled breaks of more than five (5) days.

Unearned federal aid (the amount that must be returned to the appropriate program) will be returned in the following order: Federal Pell Grant, then Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), and then Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership (LEAP – formerly SSIG). Any wages earned under the Federal Work Study Program are exempt from this policy.

Please note that students are responsible for any balance owed to Eastern Arizona College as a result of the repayment of federal aid funds.

The student must repay or make satisfactory arrangements, with the Department of Education, to repay within 45 days of Eastern Arizona College’s notification of overpayment of federal funds (or lose Title IV eligibility).

We recommend that you try to complete at least one class, if possible, to avoid any financial hardship imposed by this new regulation. However, if you do withdraw, it is important that you understand your obligations.

The Early Childhood Education (ECE) program is designed for early childhood teacher training. Upon completion of the certificate of proficiency students may apply for the National Child Development Associate Certificate through a national CDA credentialing agency. If you wish to attain national certification, we recommend that you enroll in ECD 240, Child Development Portfolio and Assessment Preparation. This national certification demonstrates competencies in the following areas:

Planning the program and setting for a center-based early childhood program for 10 to 25 children.
Observing young children.
Involving parents and families.
Enhancing the intellectual and personality development of children.
Conducting programs for the creative and physical development of children.
Developing bilingual programs and crafts programs.
Managing early childhood centers.

The Early Childhood Education Associate is a competent person who assumes primary responsibility for meeting the specific needs of a group of children in a child development setting by nurturing the child's physical, social, emotional and intellectual needs; setting up and maintaining the child care environment; and establishing a liaison relationship between parents and the child development center. Students enrolling in this program are required to attend lab. All labs are taught off campus in an early child care setting. To complete the lab requirements, students must be either employed or volunteering in a formal day care setting, provide or teach preschool in their home, or provide childcare in their home for the minimum number of lab hours required for each ECE course the student is enrolled in.

After completing requirements for the Early Childhood Education Certificate of Proficiency, you can:

Earn a degree in Child Care by completing the additional requirements shown for the Early Childhood Education Associate of Applied Science degree.
Earn an Associate of General Studies degree by completing the 35 credits of General Education requirements, and sufficient electives to total 64 credits.
