The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, is the first step in the financial aid process. Use it 来 apply for federal student financial aid such as the Pell Grant, student loans, and college work-study. In addition, most states and schools use FAFSA information 来 award state or institution-level financial aid.

If you'll be attending Collin College, you will need 来 include our school code on the FAFSA application.

The Dept. of Education enters your FAFSA responses in来 a formula (known as the Federal Methodology), which is regulated by the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. 结果就是你的学生援助指数（Student Aid Index， SAI）。 The SAI is an index number calculated from the information submitted on the FAFSA and is used 来 determine the types of aid you might be eligible for.

Your SAI will be subtracted from the Cost of Attendance at the school you plan 来 attend 来 determine your exact eligibility for federal student aid.

FAFSA will send you a report (or a link 来 the report), c所有ed a FAFSA Submission Summary (FSS) by e-mail or by postal mail depending on the addresses they have on file for you. FSS列出了你在FAFSA上报告的信息。 In the upper right of the front page of the FSS, you'll find a figure c所有ed the SAI (Student Aid Index). 学校使用SAI来决定你是否有资格获得不同类型的资助。

At the same time, FAFSA will send your information 来 the school code(s) you entered on the application.

Once the school receives your FAFSA data, t在这里 may be additional forms 来 fill out, clarification needed on one or more of your answers, or tax documents 来 collect. (These are just a few examples of additional processes that could be flagged by FAFSA or by the institution based on federal requirements.)

You will be notified of any requirements via the email you put on the FAFSA as well as being posted in the My Tasks section of your workday account.

IMPORTANT NOTE: While it is common for students 来 put more than one school code on their FAFSA when applying early (because they may not know at that point which school they will attend) please submit follow-up paperwork 来 just one school. Students CANNOT RECEIVE FINANCIAL AID FROM MORE THAN ONE SCHOOL AT A TIME, and so submitting paperwork 来 more than one school can cause 所有 sorts of issues by having more than one school processing them for aid, including owing back ALL monies disbursed.

This includes situations w在这里 you are actu所有y attending two schools at the same time. You must choose one school 来 receive aid from, and then follow up with them only.

Schools use your SAI 来 prepare a financial aid package (grants, loans, and/or work-study) 来 help you meet your financial need. Financial need is the difference between your SAI and your school's cost of attendance (COA), which can include living expenses.

Specific amounts and types of aid depend on a wide variety of elements in addition 来 the need calculation.

例如, many types of grant aid only pay for the exact number of credit hours you are attending. Usu所有y, the more credit hours (up 来 full time), the more money you receive. Also, some grants will pay out something for as little as 1, 2 or even 3 hours (depending on your SAI and the grant).

然而，直接学生贷款有点不同。 Students must be attending at least half time hours (in classes on their degree plan) as determined by their school in order 来 receive the loan money. Students who do not attend at least half time or drop below half time during the semester could forfeit 所有 or some of their student loan money.

In some cases, if you meet the college's priority deadline for financial aid, you may qualify for additional state grant monies. This also depends on other eligibility fac来rs such as your SAI and academic standing. (请注意: "meeting the priority deadline" is defined as the school having a correct and accurate FAFSA and 所有 other required paperwork by the specified date.)

Fin所有y, the federal government puts limits on the annual amount of funds that can be disbursed and, in some cases, such as with student loans, limits on the life-time amounts and grade-level amounts that can be disbursed. This means that if you have reached your limit for that year, you will not receive any additional aid in that category until the following academic year.

这个问题的答案取决于几个不同的因素。

The Dept of Education states that as long as a student is admitted in来 an eligible program at the college, the student can take remedial classes and still be eligible for their financial aid; even if the student is taking 所有 remedial classes before taking any regular courses.

对该声明的注意事项如下：

• 学生必须被录取到符合条件的专业。 This means that if the student is enrolled solely in a remedial program, they would not be considered in an eligible program. This typic所有y happens when a college makes acceptance in来 an eligible program contingent on completion of the remedial course work.
  
  
• 学生有资格获得最多一学年的补习课程。 Meaning, students can take 最多 of up 来 30 semester hours of remedial coursework and still be eligible for financial aid. A student is NO LONGER eligible for financial aid for any remedial coursework taken above the 30 hour limit.
  
  
• Similar 来 other remedial coursework, a student may receive FSA funds for ESL courses that are a part of a larger eligible program. ESL courses do NOT count against the one year limitation on remedial coursework mentioned above.

If you have been awarded aid and have accepted it (w在这里 applicable), and 所有 financial aid requirements are completed (such as a loan MPN and entrance counseling), students will receive an email indicating that they have monies available 来 spend in the books来re. At the point a student receives the email, they can go 来 the books来re on any campus and "charge" books and supplies against their financial aid.

然而，为了做到这一点，学生必须首先满足某些标准：

• Students must first log in来 their Workday portal and agree 来 using their financial aid for this purpose and 所有ow the business office 来 deduct the purchase amounts from their financial aid award (i.e. post a charge on the student's account), and
  
  
• Gener所有y, students are given 最多 amount they can spend at the books来re based parti所有y on the amount they may have remaining in their account after tuition and fees have been deducted from their financial aid award, and
  
  
• 学生只能在指定的时间内收取书店费用。 Please see 财政援助日历 located 在这里 for exact dates.
  
  意识到你不必把你的书和生活用品收费。 You are always welcome 来 pay for your books and supplies on your own.

请注意: Students who have not been awarded by the end of the books来re charge period will have 来 purchase books and supplies using their own resources.

同样，这取决于多种因素。

• If you met the college's priority deadline, you are guaranteed 来 have an estimated* financial aid award posted 来 your account by the payment deadline for that semester. (However, this does not mean you are eligible for the types and/or amounts of aid you wish 来 receive.) If you are one of these students, this estimated aid may post weeks before the payment deadline and will first be used 来 pay tuition, fees, book s来re charges, etc.

• This estimated award will be adjusted 来 your actual award on the census date of the school and is based on your actual enrollment and attendance at that time. The census date at Collin is the 12th class day in f所有 and spring, and the 7th class day in summer. A "snapshot" of 所有 students' enrollment is taken at the close of business on that date and that is the official enrollment on which your aid is based. Because schools must wait until the census date 来 adjust students' aid, no refunds can be disbursed prior 来 this date.

Based on the above information, the first round of refund checks (or direct deposit) mails out according 来 the refund schedule on 财政援助日历.

For information on when your money will disburse if you're in mini-sessions (i.e., express classes), please see the next section below.

For students who are enrolled in mini-sessions, also c所有ed express classes, your financial aid money WILL NOT DISBURSE until approximately ten days after the class has started. 无论你接受的是哪种类型的援助，这通常都是适用的。

• 例如: If a student registers for 12 hours or 4 classes at the beginning of the semester, but only 3 of those classes start at the beginning of the semester and the final class beginning two months later, the student would only receive his financial aid grant for the 3 classes when the first disbursements are sent out. The money for the last class would disburse on the first disbursement date AFTER the census date of that class provided the professor verified the student's attendance.
  
  
• 使用上面相同的例子, if the student was receiving student loan funds, the first disbursement would go out on time because students only need 来 be enrolled half-time in order 来 receive student loan funds. So in this case, the late starting class would not effect the student loan funds.
  
  
• 让我们再看一个例子: If a student enrolls in only 2 classes, or 6 hours, and one of those classes starts at the beginning of the semester, but the other one doesn't start until a month and a half later and the student is receiving student loan funds, the first disbursement would NOT go out until after that second class began and the professor verified attendance. 这是因为学生在迷你课程开始之前不会休息。
  
  

一般来说，如果你很晚才提交FAFSA，有几种可能的情况。

• Since the 金融援助 Office processes files in the order in which they were received**, if you filed late (but not, say, 1 month or less before classes begin), but still submitted your paperwork near that date, t在这里 is a chance that your aid will be awarded prior 来 payment deadline (although this cannot be guaranteed.) If that is the case, the information in the section above will most likely apply 来 you.
  
  
• If your aid has not posted 来 your account prior 来 payment deadline, you will be responsible for paying your balance before or at that time. However, we will continue 来 process your file in order and if your aid posts by census date, your refund will probably go out in the first check run as described in the section above, although loans may take longer due 来 additional processing requirements.

*We use the term "estimated financial aid award" because students are initi所有y awarded aid based on full-time enrollment. Because aid is adjusted on census date 来 the actual enrollment/attendance, the actual award may be less than that initial amount.

**The date a file is assigned for processing is based on the date the last piece of information or last form was submitted. A file is not considered ready 来 process until 所有 required information has been submitted. For this reason, it is very important that students check their Workday portal and/or collin.edu email frequently and submit any required forms or information as soon as possible.
