Financial Aid Information
Federal Title IV Refund Policy: Term Withdrawal, Financial Aid, and Tuition Reduction Eligibility
Students must notify the Center for Student Success in person, in writing, or by telephone of their intention to withdraw from all classes for the semester or the program. Reduction of tuition charges will be based on this date of last attendance as received and recorded in the Registrar’s Office. If no official notification is received and no other documentation of the dates is available, the midpoint of the semester will be used as the term withdrawal date. Dates for determining reduction of tuition charges are published in semester bulletins and Student Accounts’ Office materials. Fees are not subject to reduction.
Recipients of Federal Title IV student aid who withdraw from all classes in a semester (term withdrawal) earn eligibility for federal student aid on a daily proportioned basis up until 60% of the semester has passed. All days during the semester (except for breaks of 5 days or more and their attendant weekends) are counted. If a student has not earned all of their federal assistance by the date of their term withdrawal, funds are returned to federal programs in the following order: Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans, Federal Direct Subsidized Loans, Federal Perkins Loans, Federal Direct PLUS Loans, Federal Pell Grants, Federal SEOG, Federal TEACH Grant, other Title IV assistance. Students are responsible for repaying remaining loan funds according to the terms of their promissory notes. Federal Work Study earnings are not required to be repaid. Federal grant repayments owed by the student after school return of Federal funds are limited to 50% of the remaining unearned grant received. Note: Because tuition charges continue to be assessed by Student Accounts at a percentage rate higher than the rate at which federal policy considers Title IV student aid to be earned, students may incur a sizeable uncovered debt to Nazareth College when the college makes required repayment of unearned financial aid to its source. Gift assistance provided by Nazareth College continues to be credited in the same proportion as Student Accounts charges tuition.
Post withdrawal disbursements of federal student aid for which the student may be eligible will be made first from grant sources, then from loans. Within 14 days of determination of term withdrawal, the college will notify the student in writing the amount and type of funds available for post withdrawal disbursement together with explanation of the option to accept or decline all or part of this aid. The student must advise the college of his/her decision within 14 days or the potential disbursement is forfeit. Students will not be eligible for a late disbursement of their loan if it is the second disbursement of the loan e.g. a student borrows for fall and spring semesters, fall disbursement is received, student registers for spring but withdraws before disbursement is made. This student will not be eligible for the second disbursement of his/her loan.

General Information - Financial Aid
Nazareth College encourages students who feel that they and their families are unable to afford the full cost of a private education to apply for all sources of financial aid for which they may be eligible.
Qualifying students will receive a financial aid “package” composed of a combination of scholarship, grant, loan and work study assistance, which will vary according to demonstrated need and individual circumstances. Awards are renewed annually, contingent upon satisfactory academic progress* and program pursuit and, when applicable, timeliness of application and continued demonstrated need for assistance. Scholarship students must meet other qualifications, such as maintaining a particular cumulative GPA (grade point average), or continuance in the major for which the scholarship was awarded.
* See also Satisfactory Academic Progress later in this section for information on satisfactory academic progress standards which apply to all federal, state and Nazareth programs.
All inquiries about financial assistance and scholarships should be directed to the Financial Aid Office, Nazareth College by calling 585-389-2310 or emailing finaid@naz.edu.

(Note, however, that Nazareth room grants are not awarded for terms off campus.) Matriculated students enrolled in another college or institution’s study abroad program and not paying Nazareth College tuition will not be eligible for Nazareth College scholarships/grants. The student must apply for and be approved for a consortium or contractual agreement through the Financial Aid Office to determine if Federal and/or NYS financial assistance is applicable.

Other Outside Awards
Students are encouraged to apply for any outside grants and scholarships for which they may be eligible. Access-VR, AmeriCorps, Social Security Administration and Bureau of Indian Affairs are examples of outside agencies which help qualified students.
Applications for the Work Incentive program are made through the New York State Department of Social Services.
All scholarships from sources outside the Nazareth College campus must be reported to the Financial Aid Office as soon as they are awarded. Checks in support of these awards should be directed to the Financial Aid Office. Federal regulations require that all known sources of assistance be taken into account in determining the fulfillment of demonstrated need for student aid. For this reason, it is the policy of the college to utilize outside scholarships in the following manner:
• To reduce any unmet federal demonstrated need
• To reduce student self help in the form of Federal Work Study, Perkins or Stafford Loans
• When Nazareth gift plus outside scholarships total more than the cost of tuition, to reduce campus gift assistance as appropriate to individual circumstances.

Rights and Responsibilities of Recipients
Students seeking financial assistance are responsible for filing timely, valid applications for the programs under which they may request aid. Additional information regarding applications and all student financial aid rights and responsibilities may be obtained from the Financial Aid Office, Smyth Hall, room 43.
Request for review of financial aid awards must be made in writing to the Director of Financial Aid and be accompanied by suitable photocopied documentation. Such requests will be reviewed by a financial aid committee including the Director and Vice President for Enrollment.
Students whose federal aid has been suspended due to not meeting the College’s published satisfactory academic progress (SAP) policy may regain federal aid eligibility for the future semesters by either: a) submitting a successful appeal to the Director of Financial Aid or b) successfully meeting SAP requirements.
Male students must have on file confirmation that they have registered with the Selective Service (the Draft) or that they are not required to do so before the college will disburse Federal student aid. Students reaching their 18th birthday while matriculated at Nazareth must register promptly.
Students are responsible to document and make any appropriate revisions whenever Social Security Administration records report a mismatch of information on their Federal Aid Application (FAFSA).
Students who are non-citizens but hold a permanent resident certificate must be able to document their eligibility to receive assistance from Federal student aid programs. Wherever direct computer matched documentation from Immigration and Naturalization Service cannot be made, students may be required to obtain from INS a completed Form G640.

Verification
Verification is a federal review process required by the U.S. Department of Education by which we compare information from the completed FASFA with the student and parent federal income tax information and other related documents. The U.S. Department of Education determines which student FASFAs are selected for verification.
If your FASFA is selected for verification, the taxable income must be verified by using the FAFSA’S IRS Data Retrieval Tool or by comparing it to an IRS Tax Return Transcript. The IRS Data Retrieval Tool allows the student and parent(s) to pull in data from filed federal tax returns into the FAFSA. Students are strongly encouraged to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool. (Please note that a tax return must be submitted at least 2 weeks before using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool for the information to be transferred to the FAFSA.) If the FAFSA is completed before the federal tax return is complete and the FAFSA is selected for verification, the student and parent(s) will need to log into the FAFSA at least 2 weeks after the taxes are submitted to the IRS to correct the FAFSA, before utilizing the Data Retrieval Tool.
In addition, a Federal Verification Worksheet must be completed to verify household and untaxed income information. The Federal Verification Worksheet (one for dependent students, one for independent students) is available at: http://www2.naz.edu/tuition-aid/forms/. Students will be contacted via their Nazareth College email if they are selected for financial verification. The required information must be provided within 30 days of request in order to receive any federal financial aid. For returning students, financial aid packages will not be determined until verification requirements are satisfactorily completed.
you will be required to either authorize the IRS data match on your FASFA form or provide copies of official IRS tax transcripts. Copies of actual tax returns are no longer permitted. In addition, you must complete a Federal Verification Worksheet in order to verify household and untaxed income information. The Federal Verification Worksheet is available at https://www2.naz.edu/tuition-aid/forms/. Students will be contacted via their Nazareth College email if they are selected for federal verification. The require information must be provided within 30 days of request in order to receive any federal financial aid. For returning students, financial aid packages will not be completed until federal verification requirements are satisfactorily completed.

Enrollment Status Verification
Nazareth College participates in the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) located in Herndon, Virginia. At least four times a semester (before classes begin; at the close of registration; after the last day to withdraw and receive a grade of W; and on the last class day of term) the college submits a computer file of students’ enrollment status to the Clearinghouse which, in turn, supplies verification of enrollment to all lending institutions and the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). All loan deferment forms are forwarded to the NSC. Nazareth College does not supply this information directly to lending institutions.
If a student has registered late and/or had a drop/add/withdrawal processed to the term registration, this information may not be reported to the Clearinghouse until the next submission. The Clearinghouse asks that if a student receives a collection letter, the student is to follow the procedures as outlined.
- Call the lending agency to see if a deferment form was received between the time the Clearinghouse supplied the information and the lending agency sent the collection letter.
- You may verify your enrollment status by accessing the Clearinghouse website: www.nslc.org. In the “Students” section, you may confirm your own status and verify that your lender is using the Clearinghouse to supply enrollment data.
- If an emergency exists, e.g. a student is being threatened with default, the Records Assistant (585-389-2803) may be able to intervene on the student’s behalf by faxing a verification of enrollment letter to the lending agency.

Default
Recipients of student aid of any description may not be in default on a student loan taken to attend any institution nor owe a refund to a federal grant program at any institution. Additional documentation from sources such as a previous lender or guarantee agency may be required to update records. Parents borrowing on behalf of a dependent student must also clear federal review demonstrating that they themselves are not in default on any student loan or owe repayment of any federal monies.
