FINANCIAL AID
Introduction to Financial Aid
The objective of the Financial aid program at the
Hannibal Career and Technical Center is to help students receive funding from
various sources to help pay for their career and technical education. It is very important that all students
understand the policies, procedures, and allocations of the Hannibal Career and
How to Apply for Financial Aid
All students applying for Federal Student Aid must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.gov using your previous year’s Federal Income Tax for yourself and/or your parents (depending on whether you are a dependent or an independent student), and our school code: 014028. Be prepared to answer questions about your untaxed income and assets as well. Assistance for completing the FAFSA can be obtained from the Financial Aid Office. After submitting the application, expect to receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) from the U. S. Department of Education within a few weeks.
Expected Family Contributions
Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is a reasonable figure your family is expected to contribute toward your educational expenses. Your EFC is found on your Student Aid Report (SAR).
How are expected family contributions calculated? For a student who is dependent upon parents, these resources would include a parent’s contribution and the student’s contribution. For the independent student, the resources would include only the student’s contribution, and the spouse’s, if married
Dependent
or Independent
For the 2011-12 academic year, you are
automatically considered independent if you:
•
Were born before January 1, 1988.
•
Are a veteran of the U. S. Armed Forces
•
Are currently serving on active duty in the U.S Armed Forces for
purposes other
than training.
•
Both of your parents were deceased since you turned age 13.
•

• Are currently or were an emancipated
minor.
• Are currently or were in legal

Verification
In
order to receive financial aid administered through the Hannibal Career and
Student may be required to provide the Financial Aid Office with copies of his and/or his parent’s 1040 or 1040A which was used to complete the applications for assistance. If the student has submitted to the Federal Government a 1040 or a 1040A, this must be submitted. Additional verification may be requested by the Financial Aid Office in order to substantiate other information reported on the application. Items which are most often subject to verification include: taxable
income, non-taxable income, interest income, veteran’s income, family size, number in college, and asset amounts.
Students must provide the Financial Aid Office with documentation for verification prior to the disbursement of any Title IV award or the processing of a Student Loan application. If the student is unable to furnish the Financial Aid Office with the appropriate documents, no award will be processed.
If the verification procedure discloses information which will change the award to be received by the applicant, the student will be requested to come to the Financial Aid Office for a personal interview. At that time, the discrepancy will be discussed and the proper steps will be initiated to correct the error.
If applicable, the student will be required to make corrections on his or her FAFSA. These items are the responsibility of the student, not the Financial Aid Office. If the student has already applied for a Student Loan, the appropriate adjustments will be made.
Verification Items may
include:
• Household size (number of persons in the household)
• Number enrolled in Post-secondary Education (number of household members attending a post-secondary educational institution at least half-time with 6 credit hours for at least one term or 12 clock hours per week.
• Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) or income earned from work if AGI has not been calculated, for the base year
• U. S. Income Tax Paid for the base year
• Certain Untaxed Income and Benefits for the base year
◦ Certain Security benefits
◦ Child support, if certain conditions apply
◦ Untaxed payments to IRA and/or Keogh plans
◦ Certain combat pay
◦ Interest on tax-free bonds
◦ Other untaxed income included on the
Required Verification Documentation
For each of the required verification items, specific
documentation is acceptable and you will be required to provide such
documentation. Financial Aid will
determine what documentation is necessary. You will also be required to complete a
verification form. This form you are asked to complete is
absolutely necessary. All forms must be
competed accurately and honestly.
If you have
any questions or need any information not found in this publication, please
call or visit the Financial Aid Office located in the
Selective Service Registration and
Title IV Funds
Any student, who is required to be registered with the Selective Service and fails to register, is ineligible for student financial assistance that is provided through programs established under Title IV of the Higher Education Act. For more information on Selective Service Registration, visit www.sss.gov.
Student
Budgets
A Budget sheet is completed for each student as part of the financial aid process. This will explain your cost of attendance, tuition, and financial aid award for the academic year. Cost of attendance and expected contribution are used to determine financial aid eligibility. Therefore, if a student budget indicates the total cost of attendance is $5,000 and the expected family contribution is $1,000, the student may be eligible for $4,000 of financial aid.
Financial Aid and Your Academic
Load
During the academic year in which you receive aid,
your eligibility is governed by your academic load. If you are not a full-time student, you will
not be eligible for the maximum awards for financial aid. You must be enrolled in an approved
program(s) in order to be considered for any financial aid.

Federal
Return of Title IV Funds Policy
The federal government mandates that students who withdraw from all classes may only keep the financial aid they have “earned” up to the time of withdrawal. The title IV funds that were disbursed in excess of earned amount must be returned by HCTC and/or the student to the federal government or the lender. This situation could result in the student owing aid funds to HCTC, the government, the lender, or both.
Note: If you withdraw from HCTC, you may be
responsible for the return of all or a portion thereof of any Financial Aid you
have received in accordance with Federal regulation. You may also owe funds to HCTC in accordance
with our policy.
The federal formula for Return of Title IV Funds applies to any recipient of Pell grant, a federal student loan, or a Parent PLUS Loan who withdraws or is dismissed. If a student withdraws before the 60% point of the payment period, a percentage of the Title IV aid will have to be returned for the clock hours not completed in the payment period. If a student has completed more than 60% of the scheduled clock hours in the payment period, the student is considered to have earned 100% of the federal aid disbursed. (The student is still responsible for repaying any student loans borrowed, six months from the date of withdrawal) If funds have been released to a student because of a credit balance on the student’s account, then the student may be required to repay some of the federal aid immediately.
Refunds will
be credited to programs in the following order:
1) Unsubsidized Loans
2) Subsidized Loans
3) Federal PLUS Loans
4) Pell Grant
5) Other federal, state, private, or institutional aid
WIA/TRA/VR/VA

Refunds will be calculated according to the Department of Elementary and Secondary State Board of Education regulations.

PRACTICAL
NURSING PROGRAM
The Hannibal School of Practical Nursing offers a
12-month, post-secondary, adult program designed to educate the practical
nurse. A practical nurse works under the
supervision of a licensed physician and/or registered nurse, giving complete
nursing care and assisting the professional nurse in caring for critically ill
or injured patients for whom more specialized knowledge and skills are needed.
After a 500 clock-hour introductory period preparing the
student for beginning nursing practice, the student practical nurse is rotated
through a planned program of clinical and classroom instruction. The student is under the direct supervision
and guidance of the nursing instructors of the
The
The Practical Nursing Program has been approved as a

Upon acceptance into the program, the following documentations
are required:
1.
Physical examination
2.

Current immunization status
Philosophy
A philosophy of education is the foundation upon which a
school is built and upon which the product of a school program is evaluated.
When a particular philosophy has been accepted it becomes a guide in
determining the policies of the school.
The following is the basic philosophy of the Hannibal Public School of Practical
Nursing, a part of the Hannibal Public School System of Hannibal,
Missouri.
We believe that nursing needs exist in the community and
the surrounding area and that a school for educating practical nurses will help
meet those needs.
We believe that those persons accepted into this
educational program should be physically and mentally sound, morally acceptable
in society, and have an academic and life experiential background which will
enable them to profit by such education to the benefit of themselves and to
society.
We believe that the educational program should be
established and maintained along the lines of the nursing process, basic
principles of nursing care and requisites essential to the role of a
well-adjusted, competent practical nurse.
An emphasis shall be placed on the development of a holistic
understanding of the patient/client in sickness and in health, both as an
individual and as a member of the community.
We believe that the graduate
of this school of practical nursing will be prepared to work successfully and
harmoniously as a member of the health care team and will function effectively
in our democratic society.
Outcome criteria of the
Hannibal Public School of Practical Nursing are to prepare graduate practical
nurses that will be able to:

It is the policy of Hannibal Public Schools that possession, use, and/or distribution of alcohol as defined in chapters 311 and 312 RSMo and illegal drugs as defined in Chapter 195 RSMo are strictly prohibited in school buildings, on school grounds, on school buses, and at all school sponsored activities, regardless of location.
Professional personnel will conduct
intensive continuing program of education designed to fully inform students
about the dangers of the use, misuse and abuse of drugs and alcohol. A drug education curriculum guide has been
developed to aid
To insure fair and equitable enforcement of
the policy, the following guidelines are set forth:
1. It is recognized that the use of drugs and alcohol is illegal, severely impairs the educational process of the student using them, and disrupts the education of other students. In view of this, no distinction will be made in penalties for the abuse of either illegal drugs or alcohol.
2. First offense of possession or use of illegal drugs and/or alcohol will result in a minimum of ten (10) suspension days to a maximum of one (1) semester. The building principal will make the initial suspension. In all cases, the principal is to file a written report and recommendation to the superintendent of schools, which will make further disposition of the case.
3. In cases dealing with the sale and distribution of illegal drugs and/or alcohol, or with the second offense of possession and/or use of same, the Director will make the initial suspension for ten (10) days.
4. A written report is then filed with the superintendent of schools, who will make further disposition of case. Any like offense on record from prior years will be taken into account for disposition of disciplinary measures.
5. All students involved in the use or possession of drugs and/or alcohol and subject to school discipline are expected to undergo appropriate counseling and treatment for said problem. This is to be done at the student’s expenses. When the student wishes to return to school, a written statement of treatment from an unconditionally certified drug and alcohol service agency must be furnished and a successful conference with the building Director and student must be held as prerequisite to being reinstated into school. In the event these conditions are not met, a further conference will be scheduled with the superintendent of schools, who may either dispose of the situation or refer it to the Board of Education.
6. Any time that sufficient evidence exists, referrals will be made to the criminal justice system for further disposition above and beyond any action taken at school.
7. The Board of Education recognizes that extracurricular activities as set forth by the Missouri State High School Activities Association are not required of students and therefore, participation is a privilege. Due to this, the Board of Education may set forth additional standards for extracurricular activities. Such standards must be consistent with Board of Education policy and the Missouri State High School Activities Association and may be more stringent than said guidelines and policy but not less stringent.
8. The superintendent of schools may request local law enforcement officials to bring the canine unit to school for the purpose of searching for and seizing controlled substances. The request must be made by the superintendent in writing to the appropriate Chief Law enforcement officer. Following a request, searches will proceed expeditiously and upon completion law enforcement officials will provide a written report of the search results.
Reporting Misconduct
If a student believes he or she is being sexually harassed, the student should bring the concern to the attention of the Vocational Director or Counselor; they will then forward the information to the Title IX compliance Coordinator. If neither the student’s building Director , Counselor, nor the Title IX compliance coordinator are of the same sex as the student, the student may prefer to report his/her concern to another administrator within the school district. However, it is essential that the report be made to someone with authority and obligation to act on the concern.
Consequences
will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
It is the policy of Hannibal Career and
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
The Family
Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (commonly known as the
Buckley Amendment) is a federal law which provides that educational
institutions will maintain confidentiality of student education records. Basically, the law says that no one outside
the institution shall have access to your records nor will the institution
disclose any information from those records without your written consent. There are exceptions that allow certain
personnel within the institution to see your records as well as procedures for
release in emergency situations.
Directory
Information:
Under the
terms of FERPA, the institution may make public information which has been
designated as directory information. The
following information has been designated as directory information and may be
released to the public:
1)
Student’s name,
address, telephone listings, E-mail address.
2)

A student may refuse to permit the institution to designate any or all of these types of information by contacting the Registrar’s office, in writing, within thirty (30) days from the first day of class in each academic year. The written notification does not apply retroactively to previous releases of information. Note that for security reasons, the school may exercise judgment in releasing information such as telephone numbers and addresses to people or organizations requesting information from outside the institution. A student also has the right to examine files, records or documents maintained by the school which pertain to him/her. Students may request that the school amend their educational records on the grounds that they are inaccurate, misleading, or in violation of their rights of privacy.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
Satisfactory progress is made up of satisfactory grades as well as regular attendance. When grades fall below average, unless more rigid standards are specified by the Program Director, the student will be placed on an academic probation. Failure to achieve or maintain minimum academic standards may result in a student losing eligibility for financial aid.
Probation
A student can be placed on probation by the instructor for attendance, academics, or other reasons. The instructor will use the Probation/Disenrollment form that requires the signature of an instructor, the student, and the Director. The form will then be sent to the Registrar’s office. The student will remain on probation until the Removal from Probation form is completed by the instructor, student, and Director and returned to the Registrar. Any student placed on an academic probation is ineligible for financial aid disbursement.
Student will have the opportunity
to reestablish eligibility by bringing grades up to standard, and making a
request to the instructor to submit a Removal from Probation form to the Registrar/Financial
Aid Office. Students who are denied
financial aid and are unable to reestablish financial aid eligibility must
immediately set up a tuition payment plan with the Financial Aid Counselor and
the bookkeeper.

Adult
Attendance Policy
Daily attendance is required of all students; exceptions may be made in individual cases based on hardship conditions due to emergency situations such as death of a family member or natural disasters. Students are encouraged to make-up any time missed as soon as possible. However, in order to get the most out of their training, every attempt must be made to attend regular scheduled classes and avoid an excessive make-up time.
·
Adult
students must be in attendance at least 93% of the time.
·
If attendance falls below this point, students
may be placed on attendance probation.
·
Absences from illness must be documented by your
doctor and cannot exceed10% of scheduled clock hours in a school term.
·
While it is the responsibility of the students
to schedule make-up time, they will require approval from the instructor(s) to
make up the time and work missed.
·
The instructor will determine how much time a
student has, to make-up work.
·
The
HCTC reserves the right to limit the accepted number of make-up hours.
(Additional
attendance policies for the Practical Nursing students are detailed in the
nursing student manual. The Coordinator
will automatically disenroll students absent 80 hours.)
Financial Aid and Passport are affected by
attendance. The instructor must verify
the make-up time with a signature for the Financial Aid Office. For students receiving an incomplete grade,
work is required to be made-up or financial aid will not be awarded until such
matters are resolved. When time is
made-up, the student’s eligibility for financial aid will be reinstated.
For students who withdraw from classes, refund will be calculated to determine any money owed back to the school or financial aid provider. (See refund policy on page 19)
Right to Review
A
student has the right to review his/her financial aid records at anytime, and
to request an amendment to those records if he /she feels it is inaccurate.
Informal Discussion with Instructor
Any student
who feels he/she has a justifiable request, problem, or complaint shall first
request a conference with the instructor with the objective of resolving the
matter informally. Prompt consideration
of the concerns of students is extremely important to the faculty and
administration of the Hannibal Career and
The instructor may consult with appropriate administrative personnel in rendering a decision, and will provide the student with a response at the time of the conference or within three (3) days after the conference.
APPEAL/GRIEVANCE
POLICY & PROCEDURE
