- The College provides assistance to Students, free of charge, to secure funding and support application(s) to Student Aid and other funding agencies.

- - The Student retains the primary responsibility for securing funding from Student Aid or other sources.

- - Student Aid funding is only secured and approved for the purpose of paying College tuition and books, not to pay off other debts or expenses not involving school.

- - Students are aware they are not allowed to change their loan payment schedule without receiving prior approval by the College, and understand they are putting their program at risk and could be subject to penalties and/or immediate termination.
- - Upon leaving the college, students are required to repay their student loans and keep them in good standing in order to avoid potential impact on their credit rating and wage or tax return garnishee
- - If a student withdraws or is terminated from their program, any eligible grants the student has received will turn into debts that the student will need to repay.

- Attendance Policy
- Students are expected to attend classes on a regular basis.
- - If a student is absent from classes, then it is their responsibility to notify their Instructor/Student Services of their absence.
- - If a student knows in advance they are going to be absent then the student needs to communicate this to their instructor in advance so that a plan can be coordinated to keep a student’s studies on track.
- Student Aid regulations state that a student’s funding will be cancelled if:
- - A student misses 5 consecutive school days AND there has been no contact by the student with the College providing a reasonable excuse i.e.. excused absence.
- - A student misses 20 consecutive school days REGARDLESS of whether the absences were excused or unexcused.
- In both cases, Student Aid is required to be notified, and this will result in immediate termination of funding as of the 1st day of the absences.
