Available Financial Aid

34 CFR 668.14(b)(11)

Cox College participates in the following financial aid programs:

Federal Pell Grant

A federally funded grant program. Eligibility is determined on the basis of financial need. Eligible students may receive up to $6,495 per year depending on need, hours enrolled and federal funding of the program.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)

These federally funded grants are awarded to Pell Grant eligible students with the lowest Estimated Family Contribution demonstrating exceptionally high financial need. Priority in awarding is given to students who have been accepted for admission and whose financial aid application results have been received by April 1. Eligible students may receive up to $800 per year.

Federal Stafford Loan

The William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (formerly Stafford Loan) is the largest federal student loan program. Under this program, the U.S. Department of Education is your lender. All students who file a FAFSA application will be considered for a Direct Loan.

There are four types of Direct Loans available:

• Direct Subsidized Loans are loans made to eligible undergraduate students who demonstrate financial need to help cover the costs of higher education. The interest does not accrue while the student is enrolled at least half-time in college because it is paid by the Federal government.
• Direct Unsubsidized Loans are loans made to eligible undergraduate and graduate students, but in this case, the student does not have to demonstrate financial need to be eligible for the loan.
• Direct PLUS Loans are loans made to graduate students and parents of dependent undergraduate students to help pay for education expenses not covered by other financial aid.
• Direct Consolidation Loans allow you to combine all of your eligible federal student loans into a single loan with a single loan servicer.

Financial Arrangements

Students are expected to have made necessary financial arrangements prior to the start of the semester/term or session. By the first day of each semester/term or session, students should have: (1) enough financial assistance to cover their entire account balance (pending aid); (2) enroll in the Automatic Payment Plan during the scheduled enrollment period; or (3) pay the required tuition, fees and all related balances in full with personal funds. Failure to do so will result in a hold being placed on the student’s account and a past due fee will be applied to the student’s account until the account is paid in full.

Cox College works in cooperation with Nelnet Business Solutions to offer an interest-free monthly payment plan to our students. Students who prefer to make monthly payments can sign up with Nelnet Business Solutions for the Automatic Payment Plan during the scheduled enrollment period. For more information regarding this payment option please http://mycollegepaymentplan.com/cox/ or contact the Bursar at 417-269-3440.

Financial Obligation Policy

Students are not entitled to register for upcoming semesters/terms or sessions, receive recommendations, degrees, honors, certificates, or official transcripts until all financial obligations to the college are fulfilled. In the event of default in the payment of any amount due, the account is turned over to an agency or attorney for professional collection or legal action. The student will be liable for all legal and collection fees that may be incurred on the outstanding balance.

Opt-Out Process for Book Purchases

Students who are Pell-eligible may wish to purchase their books from an alternate source. To do this, the student has the right to request an early disbursement of a portion of their Pell grant and additional Federal Aid.

• The maximum early disbursement allowed will be calculated by subtracting the cost of tuition and fees from the amount of Pell Grant and additional Federal Aid awarded for that term as of the date the request is being reviewed. If the cost of tuition and fees is more than the federal aid awarded, an early disbursal will not be granted.
• The early disbursement will also be limited to the book component of the student’s cost of attendance as determined by the Cox College bookstore and Financial Aid Office.
• If this early disbursement is granted, the student will not be eligible or have access to make any charges at the bookstore for that term. If a student already charged books using their financial aid at the bookstore, they are no longer eligible for the early disbursement.
• A student may request the early disbursement on a per-term basis by contacting the Financial Department and asking for an early disbursement only for the calculated amount of books. The Financial Aid Department must be contacted, and the disbursement calculated twenty-one (21) days before the first day of the term that the disbursement is being requested.

By requesting this option, students will not be able to charge any products at the bookstore.

To request an early disbursement please email the Financial Aid office at Finanicalaid@coxcollege.edu with the subject line” Opt-Out Process for Books”. Requests for the Opt-Out Process for Books will only be accepted by emails from the student’s Cox College email account.

Penalties for Drug Violations

Private Education Loan Disclosures if Providing Information About a Private Education Loan from a Lender to a Prospective Borrower (including self-certification form)

34 CFR 668.14(b)(29); 34 CFR 601.20; 34 CFR 601.11; 34 CFR 601.30

Students are encouraged to apply for all scholarships, Federal grants, and Federal loans for which they are eligible before considering a private education loan, sometimes called an alternative loan. Terms and conditions for Federal student loans may be more favorable than those of private education loans.

Private education loans allow students to borrow in their own name without any government guarantee. The loans are based on the borrower’s credit, and it is often beneficial to have a credit-worthy co-signer. Since these are not governmental loans, the lender assumes more risk and may charge a higher interest rate, larger loan fees, or have more stringent credit requirements than the federal loan programs. Private loans cannot be combined with federal loans if a student wishes to consolidate his/her loans after graduation.

Applying for a Private Education Loan

1. Determine your priorities. Consider what aspects of a loan are most important to you, such as credit and co-signer requirements, co-signer release, interest rates, fixed or variable interest, fees, enrollment criteria, repayment terms, and borrower benefits such as a discount or rebate for paying through auto debit.
2. Research and compare your options. Look at several lenders and loan products to determine which one best meets your needs. (See next section for information on selecting a lender.)
3. Submit your application. Once you have decided which loan to apply for, go to the lender’s website to complete the application. During the application process, you will be required to complete a Private Education Loan Applicant Self-Certification form. PDF Section 2 of that form will ask for your cost of attendance and estimated financial assistance for the loan period. To obtain those figures, either refer to your award letter or contact your financial aid counselor.
4. Follow up promptly. If you are pre-approved for the loan, the lender will instruct you on any additional steps that you need to complete. Be sure to respond promptly to any request from your lender.
5. Once the lender has received everything it needs from you it will notify Cox College that the loan is ready to certify. After you have registered for classes, we confirm your eligibility and enrollment, and submit the certification to the lender. At that time, we will send you a revised Award Letter showing the loan amount that was approved.
6. Receive final disclosure. After Cox College certifies your loan, the lender is required to send you a final disbursement disclosure informing you of your right to cancel the loan. After providing that disclosure, the lender is required to wait at least six (6) days before sending your funds to the school.

Preferred Lender List and Disclosure/Arrangement Annual Report

34 CFR 601.10; 34 CFR 601.11; 34 CFR 601.12; 34 CFR 601.20

Students may borrow from any lender they wish. Selecting a lender for a private loan is an important decision. The loan programs differ, so it is important that you know the terms and conditions of the loan as well as your rights and responsibilities as a borrower. Students (and families) are encouraged to research the lender benefits, customer service and other information related to loan processing, services and cost. Remember that a loan is a debt that must be repaid, so it is recommended that students borrow wisely and no more than is necessary.

Withdrawals from Cox College

A verbal intent to withdraw from a course or the college is considered unofficial and insufficient. Failure to attend classes does not constitute a schedule change or withdrawal and does not entitle the student to a refund.

If a student wishes to withdraw from the college, he or she must complete the Student Withdrawal form. The form must be fully completed and turned in to the Registration Office. The date the Registration Office receives the completed withdrawal form is the date used to calculate the amount of refund, if applicable.

Refund Policies

College Catalog, pgs. 32-33

Refund Policy Requirements for Withdrawal and Return of Federal Financial Aid

All schools are required to implement the Return of Title IV Funds federal policy. This policy could result in significant cost to the student. Therefore, withdrawal from school should be a careful consideration. The Return of Title IV Funds policy only relates to students with federal financial aid. Students without federal funding will refer to the institutional refund policy regarding withdrawal from the college. Once a student completes more than 60% of a semester or payment period, a student has earned 100% of the federal funds received and no federal funds will be returned. An example of the withdraw calculations will be available in the Financial Aid Office and e-mailed to all current students at the beginning of each semester.

The Return of Title IV Funds is calculated by a percentage based on the number of days completed divided by the number of days in the academic period. Scheduled breaks of five days or more will be deducted from the total number of days in the semester. The following criteria determines the withdrawal date:

For a seated course the student’s last day of attendance will be used.
For an online course the student’s last day of participation in an academically-related activity will be used.
The official withdrawal date will be provided by the Registrar’s Office.

Federal Title IV Aid refunds will be returned in the following order:

1. Unsubsidized Stafford Loan
2. Subsidized Stafford Loan
3. Graduate PLUS Loan
4. PLUS Loans
5. Pell Grant
6. Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
7. Other Financial Aid Programs

Impact of Leave of Absence (LOA) on Student Loans

Students must be aware that the Leave of Absence (LOA) from the department, program, or college does not refer to the Title IV financial aid conditions. A school may grant a student an LOA that does not meet the conditions to be an approved LOA for Title IV purposes. A LOA must be reported to the Student Loan Clearinghouse as a student having withdrawn from the college, effective from the last date of attendance, and is subject to all loan repayment deadlines.

A LOA may cause a student to fail financial aid satisfactory academic progress standards which would require a student to use the financial aid appeal process to regain financial aid eligibility for future semesters. All LOA’s granted to students eligible for federal financial aid must comply with federal regulations.

Impact of Attendance on Student Loans

Not attending classes does not withdraw a student from school. The student is responsible for all charges until the withdrawal process has been completed.

When a student withdraws from Cox College, the determination will be made whether a student must repay monies previously disbursed. This repayment will be in accordance with federal regulations found in current Title IV regulations as outlined in the Federal Student Financial Aid Handbook or the Cox College website under Financial Aid and Bursar Info (FAQ). If a student withdraws before the first day of class, or never attends classes, 100% of the Federal Aid must be returned.
