State Technical College of Missouri
Students believing they have mitigating circumstances that prevented them from maintaining satisfactory academic progress may request an exception by explaining their circumstances in writing with supporting documentation to the Office of Financial Aid. Denied requests may be appealed by using the College’s grievance procedure. If an appeal is granted, students will return on financial aid probation.
Students who attend State Technical College of Missouri without financial assistance, and then apply for assistance, will have to meet the satisfactory progress standards as if they had received assistance from the beginning of their attendance at State Technical College of Missouri.
Students who maintain the standard for academic progress are allowed to receive aid until the maximum credit hour or clock hour limit is reached or the requirements for a current declared major are reached. Students cannot receive financial aid if they have attempted more than 150% of the credit hours or clock hours required for their degree or certificate. A student is ineligible when it becomes mathematically impossible for the student to complete their program within 150% of the length of the program. For example in a credit hour program, in successfully completing a 72 credit hour curriculum, the maximum credit hours for student aid utilization is 108 credit hours. For clock hour programs, students must complete their program within 150% of the time it normally takes to complete their certificate program, as measured in weeks. For example, if a student is enrolled in a 1,300 clock hour program scheduled to last 40 weeks, the maximum time frame for a student to complete the program is 60 weeks (40 x 150%). The student must complete 22 hours per week in order to complete 1,300 hours in 60 weeks.
FEDERAL VERIFICATION In the financial aid process, if an applicant is selected for verification, the Office of Financial Aid is required to collect and review certain documents to determine data accuracy.
If selected, the student will be notified that a
review is required and informed of the documents needed. No award will be made prior to satisfactory completion of verification procedures and failure to provide documentation will result in suspension of student aid processing.
PROOF OF CITZENSHIP The State of Missouri (HB390) requires any student receiving institutional financial aid and state administered grants and scholarships to provide proof of their citizenship to the Office of Financial Aid prior to receiving funds. This proof may be received electronically
from the results of a valid FAFSA form. Examples of acceptable
documentation include a state-issued driver’s license, state-issued non-driver’s identification cards, or a U.S. birth certificate. Students who need to provide official documentation to the Office of Financial Aid will be notified.
