Financial Aid FAQ'sHow Does Financial Aid Pay for College?
When you register at Ivy Tech, financial aid may pay for all or a portion of your class fees, books and supplies. If there are dollars left over from the total amount of your financial aid, you will receive the money approximately seven weeks into the semester. If your financial aid does not cover all of your fees, then you are expected to make payment arrangements with the bursar's office before classes start. Contact the bursar's office for more information.
Do My Grades Affect My Financial Aid?
Attendance: Students must not only be "enrolled" but must actually be attending class. Students that never attend class or stop attending class without formally withdrawing will have their aid adjusted as required by the federal refund policy.
If you receive financial aid, you must maintain standards of progress. That means that you must demonstrate satisfactory progress toward completion of your program within a specific time period, based on the number of hours you take each semester. Failing to meet the standards could have you terminated from receiving financial aid.
If Terminated, How Can I Be Reinstated on Aid?
If financial aid has been terminated for not meeting standards of progress, students may be able to submit an appeal application to explain extenuating circumstances that contributed to their failure to meet the expected standards of progress. In addition, students may be able to increase their GPA by enrolling in courses without financial aid. Contact the financial aid office for more information on financial aid termination appeal options.
How Do I Apply for Veterans Benefits?
Veterans may contact the VA Certifying Official at Ivy Tech Community College or the VA Regional Office in St Louis (1-888-8442-4551) for information concerning eligibility. In order to receive benefits, the veteran must be enrolled in an Associate degree or Technical Certificate program at the College. Generally, six to eight weeks are needed to activate benefits.
