Any
enrolled or accepted Part-Time Programs student who is either a U.S. citizen,
permanent resident, or eligible non-citizen may apply for federal and
state financial aid. You will be required to provide documentation of
proof of citizenship or residency status. No aid is disbursed until the
University has verified your eligibility.
Students must maintain
satisfactory academic progress as defined by the University.
NOTE: You may check the status of your application on-line with us at http://www.jhu.edu/finaid.
Your Department of
Education PIN serves as your personal identifier, and allows you to access
your aid information on various Department websites. These include the
National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) where you can view a history
of your federal financial aid, as well as Direct Loan servicing and consolidation
sites. The PIN also serves as your electronic signature on the FAFSA or
renewal FAFSA.
Who is Eligible for Federal Aid? (Top) The funds administered
by the Office of Student Financial Services are awarded on the basis of
financial need as demonstrated by a federal formula that considers your
available income and assets. The Office of Student Financial Services
also takes these other factors into consideration:
Citizenship Documentation (Top) You must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident to apply for federal student financial aid. When an applicant completes the FAFSA, the processor matches the student's name, social security number, and date of birth with the Social Security Administration database (for U.S. citizens) and with the Department of Homeland Security database (for eligible non-citizens). If the match with either database confirms citizenship or permanent resident status, no further documentation is required. However, if the match does not confirm the student's status, the applicant will be required to provide documentation. One of the following is required to document U.S. citizenship:
One of the following is required to document status as a U.S. permanent resident:
Satisfactory Academic Progress Requirements (Top) For continuation of federal student financial aid, you must be making satisfactory academic progress toward your degree as defined by the University's academic standards. The following Satisfactory Academic Progress standards apply for students in the part-time graduate programs, Advanced Academic Programs (AAP) of the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and the Engineering Program for Professionals (EPP) of the Whiting School of Engineering. For AAP students, degree candidates who receive a grade of C or below are put on academic probation. If a degree candidate receives a grade of C or below in a core course, the student must repeat that course. Degree candidates in AAP who receive a second grade of C or below are dismissed from the program. EPP students are allowed one grade of C. A second grade of C results in academic probation. One F grade results in academic probation. Students earning a grade of F and one C, or a C and a subsequent F, two grades of F, or three grades of C are dismissed from the program. Only one grade of C may be counted toward a master’s degree. No grade of C may be counted for a graduate certificate or advanced certificate for post-master’s study. In addition, for continuation of federal student financial aid AAP and EPP students must complete at least 50 percent of all courses attempted at Johns Hopkins. Repeated courses count only once in the percentage of attempted courses completed. Semesters need not be consecutive. Leave of absence semesters do not affect academic standing. Academic grade requirements will be reviewed at the conclusion of each regular term. Credits approved for transfer from another institution will not count in the percentage of attempted hours completed. Grades of “incomplete” in any course, except for course registrations related to the thesis requirement, must be resolved by the Registrar’s Office published deadline in order to determine a student’s standing for continuation of federal student financial aid. A student may meet the academic grade requirements for continuation in his/her program but fail to meet the standard for continuation of federal student financial aid. A student may appeal denial of financial aid to the Financial Aid Appeal Committee. The Committee will meet to review appeal requests once at the end of each semester. The Committee shall be composed of a member of the Office of Student Financial Services, a member of the AAP academic advising staff, and a member of the EPP advising staff. Decisions of the Appeal Committee will be final.
What is Financial Need? (Top) Financial
need is the difference between the cost of attendance at the institution
and the student's available resources. A student's resources are determined
by the federal formula, which evaluates income and assets, the number
of family members, and the number in college. Financial need is calculated
by subtracting the student's resources, as determined by the formula,
and outside sources, such as employer tuition assistance/benefits
from the student's cost of attendance. |
