How to Apply for Federal Aid
The college uses the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as its application for federal financial aid programs.
The Process
• Apply for a FAFSA Pin at: www.pin.ed.gov
• Complete and submit the 2015-16 FAFSA (to the Department of Education). It’s available
online.
It’s available online (www.fafsa.ed.gov) January 1st. Be sure to include the Yavapai College code: 001079.
• Check your YC email frequently. You will be notified by email when we receive your FAFSA results instructing you to check your eligibility requirements by logging into the YC website, clicking on My Services, Students, and My Financial Aid.
• Have an award posted stating how much aid per semester, if any, that you will receive.
• The award amount is applied to any outstanding funds you may still owe the college; you
may then receive a disbursement for any remaining credit balance.
Satisfactory Academic Progress Required for Federal Aid Recipients
Federal regulations require that financial aid students maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) toward an eligible degree or certificate program. SAP Standards include: Minimum cumu- lative grade point average of 2.0; Rate of Progression 66% or greater; Maximum time frame for completion of a degree or certificate. SAP is reviewed at the end of each semester to determine financial aid eligibility for the upcoming semester. SAP is evaluated on a student’s entire academic history regardless of whether financial aid was received elsewhere. Please visit the Financial Aid website at: www.yc.edu/v5content/financial-aid/policies.htm.
Withdrawal/Repayment Policy for Federal Financial Aid Recipients
Students who withdraw from ALL of their classes will have their financial aid reevaluated to deter- mine the amount of aid that has been earned, and any unearned aid will be required to be paid back. Please note that this repayment calculation will be determined for students who follow of- ficial withdrawal procedures as well as for students who stop attending classes. For further details consult your financial aid advisor and/or the Withdrawal/Repayment Policy for Federal Financial aid at: www.yc.edu/financial-aid.
