12/98 - Financial Aid section has been revised. The old version is as follows:

Financial Aid

Eastern Arizona College has a comprehensive financial aid program to ensure, to the extent of available funding, that no student will be denied a college education because of lack of funds. EAC believes that primary responsibility for financing your education rests with you and your family. The ability of you and your family to provide that support is calculated through a federally approved needs analysis system.

A financial aid "package" often includes more than one type of aid. Eligibility requirements for the following programs are general in nature, and may change without notice. For more specific details please contact the Financial Aid Office.

Grants

Grants are awards which do not have to be repaid. Included are Pell Grants, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG), and for Arizona residents, the State Student Incentive Grant (SSIG).

Employment

College Work-Study Program (CWS): Federally funded part-time employment. Pay dates are twice monthly. Student employees are paid at least the federal minimum hourly rate.

Institutional Work-Study Program: College funded part-time employment awarded at specific request of faculty or staff. Pay procedures are similar to those under CWS above.

Loans

EAC no longer participates in the Student Loan Programs.

Disbursements

Disbursement of grants and scholarships will be by cash or check on the first day of the semester or as soon after as practicable.

Veterans and Children of Deceased Veterans

Most of Eastern Arizona College's curricula and courses listed in this catalog are approved for veterans training. You can contact the EAC Veterans Affairs Office (in the Records and Registration Office) for information on approved courses. These programs are maintained by cooperative arrangement between Eastern Arizona College, the State of Arizona, and the United States Department of Education. The College and students must comply with all regulations governing the Act under which the students are granted educational benefits.

You should apply for educational benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs well in advance of your enrollment at Eastern Arizona College. Our Veterans Affairs Office on the Thatcher campus or at the Gila Pueblo Campus in Globe can provide you with the Veterans Application for Education Benefits. You'll need to arrange for transmittal directly to EAC of an official transcript from all colleges attended. For further information please write to Veterans Affairs Office, Eastern Arizona College, Thatcher AZ 85552-0769.

The Application Process

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) should be submitted as soon as possible after January 1 if you plan to enroll the following fall term. EAC's deadline for priority consideration is April 15. Since errors or incomplete forms cause delays it is important to complete the form early, carefully, and accurately. If there are difficulties or questions in filling out the form, please request assistance from a high school counselor or our Financial Aid Office.

Approximately 30% of all applications will be selected for a process called "verification." If the Department of Education or the College selects you for verification, you must prove that the information you reported is correct by submitting income tax forms and other documents. Therefore, you should save copies of all records and materials used in applying for aid.

Eligibility Determination

Before aid can be awarded your financial aid file must be complete, including all documents requested. Aid is then awarded on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are depleted. The amount of your award is determined by eligibility, availability of funds, and compliance with deadlines. You must reapply for aid each year.

Two basic steps are used in determining financial aid eligibility.

Step 1. Determination of costs (student budget). Financial Aid considers fees, tuition, room and board, books, transportation, and personal expenses. Several standard budgets are designed to reflect a modest but adequate standard of living. Budgets are revised only if you can document extraordinary costs over which you have no control. The following are samples of the standard budgets to be used for the academic year based on an average of 16 credits per semester.

Step 2. From the appropriate budget, subtract the expected family contribution as computed from information supplied on the application. This results in the maximum eligibility.

Financial aid cannot be awarded until you have declared a major and are enrolled in courses that will lead to a degree or certificate. If you have neither a high school diploma nor GED then you must take and pass the Ability to Benefit test and results must be in the Financial Aid Office before aid can be awarded.

Award Letter and Acceptance of Financial Aid

An award letter is sent to you as the official offer of aid. You should sign and return the letter promptly. The Fiscal Control Office disburses aid and all debts to the College will be deducted from any amounts due you.

Satisfactory Academic Progress

To insure compliance with Federal regulations, EAC will award federal financial aid only to those students who are making satisfactory academic progress toward obtaining a degree or certificate. These procedures are designed to encourage you to successfully complete a degree or certificate in the appropriate amount of time. The following standards judge that progress. These standards should not be confused with the academic standards of the College, which may differ.

Standards: You are required to successfully complete at least the number of credits for which financial aid was received. For full-time students this means a minimum of 12 credit hours. Part-time students are evaluated on a proportional basis. Repeat courses are counted in the total number of credits for that semester. Audited credit hours are not included.

You are required to maintain at least a 2.00 grade point average (GPA).

Ninety-six (96) credits, including transfer credits, will be considered the maximum time frame for completion of most Associate degree programs. Proportional amounts of time will be allocated to students in shorter programs or to part-time students.

Financial aid may cover a maximum of 30 credit hours of developmental classes. This includes classes below the 100 level and MAT 120 and ENG 100. However these credits will be included in the maximum total.

Financial Aid Status: If you are a full-time student but completed fewer than 12 credits or earned less than a 2.00 GPA, you may be placed on probation for the following semester. While on probation, you may continue to receive financial aid but must complete the number of probation credits with at least a 2.00 GPA.

If you achieve less than 1.00 GPA or complete fewer than six credits, you may not receive a probationary semester and future aid will be canceled.

Appeals: If you fail to meet the above standards and feel that there are significant extenuating circumstances you may submit an appeal. Appeals are to be made in writing to the Director of Financial Aid and should be accompanied by an evaluation and recommendation from the Counseling Office. This recommendation should outline the specific problem and project your ability to complete the program.

These decisions may also be appealed. The appeal should be in writing and submitted to the Financial Aid Office with a request for review by the Financial Aid Committee.

Reestablishing Eligibility: If your aid is canceled due to lack of compliance with the above standards, you can reestablish eligibility by completing the deficit credits without federal financial aid and by bringing the cumulative GPA up to 2.00. If these credits are taken at another school you must arrange to have an academic transcript and a Financial Aid Transcript (FAT) sent from the other school. Only those credits which transfer will be included in the calculation.

Financial Aid will attempt to notify you of any deficiencies in a timely manner; however, it is your responsibility to be aware of the conditions of Satisfactory Academic Progress and to ensure compliance.

Student Rights

You have the right to know:

  • what programs are available at EAC.
  • the deadlines for submitting applications.
  • how your financial aid eligibility was determined.
  • the refund and repayment policies.
  • the satisfactory progress requirements.
  • the costs at EAC.

Student Responsibilities

You must:

  • complete all application materials accurately and on time.
  • provide correct information. Misreporting may be considered a criminal offense.
  • accept responsibility for all agreements that you sign. The award letter is a legal contract; please read it before signing.
  • notify the Financial Aid Office in writing of any changes in address, marital status, name, or drop in credits that takes you below the number of credits for which you are receiving aid.
  • complete the number of credit hours for which you are paid with at least a 2.00 GPA.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords you certain rights with respect to your education records. They are:

(1) The right to inspect and review your education records within 45 days of the day the College receives a request for access. Submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic division or department, or other appropriate official, a written request that identifies the record(s) you wish to inspect. The College official will make arrangements for access and notify you of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the College official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise you of the correct official to whom your request should be addressed.

(2) The right to request the amendment of your education records that you believe are inaccurate or misleading. You may ask the College to amend a record that you believe is inaccurate or misleading. You should write the College official responsible for the record, clearly identifying the part of the record you want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the College decides not to amend the record as you request, the College will notify you of the decision and advise you of your right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to you when you are notified of the right to a hearing.

(3) The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.

One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the College in an administrative, supervisory, academic, research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel; a person or company with whom the College has contracted such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Governing Board; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.

(4) The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the College to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is:

Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW., Washington, DC, 20202-4605

The College hereby designates the following categories of student information as public or "Directory Information." Such information may be disclosed by the institution for any purpose, at its discretion.

Category I: Name, address, telephone number, email address, dates of attendance, class, and picture.

Category II: Previous institutions attended, major fields of study, awards, honors (includes Dean's List), degrees conferred (including dates).

Category III: Past and present participation in officially recognized sports and activities, physical factors (height, weight of athletes), date and place of birth.

You may withhold disclosure of any category of information under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. To withhold disclosure, written notification must be received in the Records and Registration Office prior to the last day of registration as stated in the College Catalog. Forms requesting the withholding of Directory Information are available in the Records and Registration Office. The College assumes that the failure of any student to specifically request the withholding of categories of "Directory Information" indicates individual approval for disclosure.

Parents or guardians may have access to the education records of a dependent student defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, Section 152, as evidenced by a notarized affidavit stating that the student is a dependent for income tax purposes, or other documentation as may be separately approved by the registrar, on a case-by-case basis.

A Directory of Records which lists all education records maintained on students by the College is available at the Records and Registration Office. Questions concerning the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act may be referred to that office.

Minimum Federal Refund

A mandatory minimum federal refund will be calculated for students who fall under the Institutional Refund policy. This is to ensure that all students receive at least an amount the federal government deems appropriate. This is a minimum amount and in no case will it be more than the Institutional Refund calculations. The institution must refund 100 percent of institutional charges if the student withdraws from the institution on or before the first day of classes for the period of enrollment for which the student was charged; 90 percent refund if the student withdraws at any time after the first day of classes up to and including the end of the first 10 percent, in time, of that period of enrollment; 50 perfect refund if the student withdraws at any time after the end of the first 10 percent up to and including the end of the first 25 percent of classes; 25 percent refund if the student withdraws at any time after the end of the first 25 percent up to and including the end of the first 50 percent of all classes. Examples of common refunds are available at the Fiscal Control Office in the Administration building on the Thatcher Campus.

Eastern Arizona College Program to Prevent Illicit Use of Drugs and Abuse of Alcohol by Employees and Students

I. Introduction and Purpose The recent adoption by Congress of the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 (Public Law 101-226) requires federal contractors and grantees to certify that they will provide a drug-free school. As a recipient of federal grants, the District must adopt a program toward accomplishing this goal. While federal legislation has been the impetus for creation of the program, the District recognizes that substance abuse is a problem of national proportions that also affects Eastern Arizona College. Based upon that concern, it is intended that this program for prevention of alcohol and drug abuse on our campuses will go beyond the strict dictates of the law and will serve as a comprehensive educational and resource tool. To this end the Graham County Community College District Governing Board has developed policies to:

  1. Ensure that the Eastern Arizona College working and learning environment for students, employees and the public is safe, orderly and free of illegal activity.
  2. Comply with the Drug Free School and Communities Act of 1989 (PL 101-26), the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988 (PL 100-690, Title IV, Subtitle D) and other relevant substance abuse laws.
  3. Provide students with access to appropriate treatment and rehabilitation assistance for problems associated with substance use or abuse.

    REF: GCCCD Policy #4710 and Regulation #4710.1 which specify for employees the standards of conduct and consequences of violation, and Regulation #5800.1 which specifies for students the standards of conduct and consequences of violation in relation to drug and alcohol use.

II. Standards of Conduct

The above referenced policies spelled out in detail in the Eastern Arizona College General Catalog, state clearly that:

"The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession or use of a controlled substance on District property or as part of any of the District’s activities is prohibited..."

"Controlled Substances" are defined as an illegal drug, a legal drug used in excess of recommended dosage, an alcoholic beverage and any mind altering substance.

III. Sanctions for Violation of Standards of Conduct

Disciplinary actions include, but are not limited to:

IV. Legal Consequences of Alcohol Abuse & Illicit Drugs Use

  1. Laws Governing Alcohol

    The State of Arizona sets twenty-one as the "legal drinking age." An underage person who buys, receives, possesses or consumes alcoholic beverages is guilty of a misdemeanor and may be subject to a fine and imprisonment for up to six months.

    The Uniform Act Regulating Traffic on Highways prohibits driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs (DUI). Drivers charged with DUI who refuse to be tested face suspension of their licenses or permits to drive for 12 months. A driver whose test results show a blood or breath alcohol concentration of 0.10 or more will have his/her license or permit to drive suspended or denied for not less than 90 consecutive days. The punishment for DUI ranges from not less than 24 consecutive hours in jail and a fine of not less than $250 for a first offense to a minimum of six months in jail and revocation of the driver’s license for three years upon a third offense.
  2. Laws Governing the Use of Drugs

Federal Laws: The Federal Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act prohibits the possession, sale and trafficking of controlled substances. The Omnibus Drug Act of 1988 allows the following penalties for conviction of possession of illegal drugs: civil fines up to $10,000; forfeiture of cars, boats, or planes conveying the substance; loss of public housing; the loss of all federal benefits including student loans and grants.

Arizona Laws: Title Thirteen, Chapter 34 of the Arizona Revised Statutes lists drug offenses and their penalties. Following is a list of drugs which are frequently misused with a description of the potential penalties attached to a conviction.

·  Marijuana: First offense for possession or use of marijuana in an amount of less than one pound constitutes a Class 6 felony and carries a possible prison term of one and one-half years and a fine of not less than $750. The sale of marijuana in an amount of less than one pound carries a prison sentence of four years and a fine of at least $750.

·  LSD: Possession, use and sale of LSD are felonies carrying sentences from four to five years and fines of not less than $1,000.

·  Heroin and Cocaine: Use and sale of heroin and cocaine are felonies carrying sentences from four to seven years and a fine of not less than $2,000.

V. Health Risks Associated with the Use of Illicit Drugs and the Abuse of Alcohol

A. Illicit Drug Use: Controlled substances subject to illicit use are divided into several broad categories:

 ·  Narcotics (Morphine, Opium, Heroin) are highly addictive. The effects of their use generally leads to feelings of euphoria, drowsiness, respiratory depression, constricted pupils, and nausea. Overdose is characterized by slow and shallow breathing, clammy skin, convulsions, coma, and possible death.

·  Depressants (Barbiturates, Chloral Hydrate, Quaalude) are moderately to highly addictive. Effects include slurred speech, disorientation, and drunken behavior without the odor of alcohol. Overdose results in shallow respiration, clammy skin, dilated pupils, weak and rapid pulse, coma, and possible death.

·  Stimulants (Cocaine, Amphetamine) are not known to be physically addictive but create a high psychological dependence. Effects of use are increased alertness, excitation, euphoria, increased pulse rate and blood pressure, insomnia, and loss of appetite. An overdose can lead to agitation, increase in body temperature, hallucinations, convulsions, and possible death.

·  Hallucinogens (LSD, Mescaline and Peyote, TCP) are not known to be addictive. The effects of use include illusions and hallucinations, and poor perception of time and distance. Overdose causes longer, more intense "trip episodes," psychosis, and possible death.

·  Cannabis (Marijuana, Hashish) is moderately psychologically addictive. Effects include euphoria, relaxed inhibitions, increased appetite, and disoriented behavior. Overdose results in extreme fatigue, paranoia and possible psychosis.

·  B. Alcohol consumption causes a number of marked changes in behavior. Even low doses significantly impair the judgment and coordination required to drive a car safely, increasing the likelihood that the driver will be involved in an accident. Low to moderate doses of alcohol cause marked impairments in higher mental functions, severely altering a person’s ability to learn and remember information. Very high doses cause respiratory depression and death. If combined with other depressants of the central nervous system, much lower doses of alcohol will produce the effects just described.

·  Repeated use of alcohol can lead to dependence. Sudden cessation of alcohol intake is likely to produce withdrawal symptoms, including severe anxiety, tremors, hallucinations, and convulsions. Alcohol withdrawal can be life-threatening. Long-term consumption of large quantities of alcohol, particularly when combined with poor nutrition, can also lead to permanent damage to vital organs such as the brain and the liver.

·  Mothers who drink alcohol during pregnancy may give birth to infants with fetal alcohol syndrome. These infants have irreversible physical abnormalities and mental retardation. In addition, research indicates that children of alcoholic parents are at greater risk than other youngsters of becoming alcoholics.

VI. Drug or Alcohol Counseling, Treatment, Rehabilitation or Re-entry Programs That are Available to Employees or Students

Eastern Arizona College does not provide direct drug or alcohol counseling, treatment or rehabilitation services. Students or employees with concerns related to the use/abuse of drugs or alcohol are encouraged to meet with a member of the Counseling staff on the Thatcher Campus for confidential consultation and referral.
