Applying for Financial Aid
UH-Victoria administers a wide range of scholarships, grants, loans, and
work-study employment for students who qualify. It is to the student’s
advantage to complete a 2005-2006 UHV Financial Aid and Scholarship
Application and a 2005-2006 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
form as early as possible since limited funds require that priority be
given to the earliest applicants. The forms are available in the UHV
Office of Financial Aid, UH System at Sugar Land, UH System at Cinco
Ranch, and on the UHV Financial Aid web page,
www.uhv.edu/ofa and
www.fafsa.ed.gov. Additional forms and documents may be requested based
on the information that is gathered from the financial aid applications
and the Office of Admissions.
Students must check their UHV student e-mail account for emails titled
“Financial Aid Announcements” periodically. This e-mail will provide
them a link to UHV Awards By Web®. UHV Awards By Web® will inform the
students of his or her financial aid status, for example, Incomplete for
Packaging or Awarded. Students should review their financial aid data
and complete the tasks listed on the Task Tab.
Students must meet these minimum requirements for need-based aid: be a
U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or U.S. permanent resident; be
unconditionally admitted to UHV; be degree seeking; making satisfactory
academic progress toward a degree or certification; not be defaulted on
any educational loan or owe a refund on a federal or state grant; be
registered with the Selective Service, if male; and not be convicted of
possessing and/or selling illegal drugs.

The priority deadlines are as follows: |
April 15 — Fall 2005 |
| |
October 15 — Spring 2006 |
| |
March 15 — Summer 2006 |
Awarding Process
The most common type of financial aid is a “package’’ which is awarded
in the following order: grants, scholarships, employment, and/or loans.
Prior to awarding federal, state, and institutional financial aid, a
student’s eligibility is reviewed. Financial Aid awarded prior to the
semester beginning will be based on the students anticipated enrollment
and aid awarded after the semester begins will be based on the student’s
current enrollment status. Financial aid will not be awarded until all
requested documents have been received and reviewed. Students who have
incomplete files should be prepared to pay for their tuition, fees,
books and supplies by the date posted on the bill.
An email will be sent to the student's UHV e-mail address informing them
that they need to review their financial aid offered on the web link and
complete the tasks requested such as accept or decline the awards. If
applicable, the student must go to the UHV web site and accept, modify
or decline all Federal loans offered on the Loans By Web® link.
Fee exemptions and waivers are issued only for the period in which a
student is currently enrolled; therefore, applications must be submitted
no later than the official closing day of the semester or summer term
being attended. For a listing of Texas Higher Education Coordinating
Board exemptions, contact the Office of Financial Aid or the Bursar’s
Office.
If students are planning to receive financial aid as co-enrolled
students, they must complete Consortium Agreement forms. UHV currently
has consortium agreements with Coastal Bend College, Houston Community
College Southwest, Houston Community College Northwest, UH-Downtown, The
Victoria College and Wharton County Junior College. Federal regulations
do not allow students to receive financial aid from two institutions
simultaneously.
Federal Stafford Loan Entrance Counseling is required for all first-time
loan borrowers at UHV. Federal Stafford Loan Exit Counseling is required
for all loan recipients when they complete a degree, drop below
half-time, or withdraw from the semester. The web site available for
loan counseling is: www.mapping-your-future.org. If loan borrowers need
to defer payments or request a forbearance on his or her loan(s) while
in repayment, forms are available at www.tgslc.org. Additional
one-on-one loan counseling sessions may be requested of loan borrowers
reaching $20,000 and $35,000 aggregate loan debt.
Due to the wide range of financial aid available, the specific processes
for applying, and the constant change in available funding, students are
encouraged to contact UHV financial aid personnel early in the process
and to keep them informed of any changes in his or her personal
financial circumstance.
Child Care Assistance is available through the Office of Financial Aid.
To qualify, students are required to complete the FAFSA form and
establish financial need. FAFSA and Child Care Assistance applications
are available in the Office of Financial Aid. Child Care Assistance is
contingent upon fund availability. The applications will be reviewed
after the 12th class day.

Vocational Rehabilitation
The Texas Rehabilitation Commission offers assistance for tuition and
required fees to students who have certain physical or emotional
disabilities, provided the vocational objective selected by the disabled
person has been approved by an appropriate representative of the
Commission. Through this state agency, other rehabilitation services are
available to assist disabled persons to become employable.
Application for this type of assistance should be made to the nearest
rehabilitation office. Inquiries may be addressed to the Texas
Rehabilitation Commission, 4102 N. Navarro, Victoria, Texas 77901.
Disbursement of Financial Aid
Financial aid can be disbursed as early as 10 days prior to the first
class day to the student’s account. Enrollment and eligibility reviews
are conducted prior to authorizing the release of aid. Eligibility and
enrollment reviews are also conducted after the census date. Aid will be
adjusted accordingly if necessary. If the aid results in a credit on the
student’s account, a refund check will be mailed to the student.
Revisions of Financial Aid Awards
Financial aid eligibility will be reviewed between the 1st through 12th
class day. If a student adds or drops courses, all financial aid awards
will be reevaluated.
WITHDRAWALS PRIOR TO THE 1ST CLASS DAY: If a student withdraws prior to
the 1st class day,
100% percent of his or her grant(s) and scholarship(s) disbursed to the
student account will be returned to
the fund(s). If the student received a refund check, the student is
responsible for returning 100% of the
grant and scholarship refund amount to the school. UHV will return 100%
of the loan funds used to pay
tuition and fees to the lender. The student’s lender will be notified of
the student’s withdrawal. The
lender will notify the student that the total amount of loan funds
disbursed have gone into immediate
repayment status. If not repaid to the lender in a timely manner,
usually 30 days, the lender may put the
loan in a defaulted status. The student is responsible for returning to
the lender the loan funds
that UHV disbursed to the student in the form of a refund check.
CHANGE IN COURSE LOAD BETWEEN THE 1ST AND 12TH CLASS DAY (MAINTAINING AT
LEAST HALF-TIME ENROLLMENT STATUS): Financial aid eligibility will be
reviewed between the
1st through 12th class day. If a student adds or drops courses, all financial aid awards will be
reevaluated. Downward financial aid adjustments may result in the
student repaying a portion of any
financial aid received. The tuition refund may be sent to the lender or
returned to the state or institutional
fund(s). Courses dropped after the 12th class day will not cause a
reevaluation of aid awarded.
Pending fund availability, some financial aid awards will be increased
if the student added additional
courses. Dropped courses will be taken into consideration during the
review of the student’s satisfactory
academic progress.
DROPPING BELOW HALF-TIME PRIOR TO THE 13TH CLASS DAY: Loan recipients
who drop
below half-time prior to the 13th class day may have the tuition refund
sent to the lender by UHV. The
student’s lender will be notified of the student’s enrollment status
change which will cause his or her
grace period to begin. Students must return the remaining amount of the
loan according to the terms of the
loan. Student Returning the funds may result in a student account
balance due to UHV.
All grant and scholarship awards will be adjusted accordingly which may
result in the student repaying a portion of any financial aid disbursed
in the form of a refund check. The student must pay UHV for tuition and
fees, if applicable, for continued enrollment in courses in a less than
half-time status.
WITHDRAWALS BETWEEN 1ST AND 12TH CLASS DAY: Students who withdraw prior
to the 13th class day will have the Return to Title IV calculation
computed for all Federal aid disbursed. A portion of the student’s
federal aid will be adjusted downward which may result in the student
repaying a portion of federal aid disbursed.
One hundred percent of all institutional and state financial aid will be
returned to the funds. Financial aid adjustments may result in the
student repaying a portion of any financial aid disbursed.

Satisfactory Academic Progress for
Financial Assistance Policy
Students admitted into a course of study leading to a degree, and who
receive federal, state, institutional or veterans’ financial assistance
will have their academic progress reviewed by the Office of Financial
Aid. Financial aid recipients must meet several aspects of satisfactory
academic progress to maintain their aid eligibility. Federal guidelines
state that all periods of attendance will be counted toward the
students’ academic progress review, regardless of whether the student
received financial aid. Students must meet the following qualitative and
quantitative standards to maintain financial aid eligibility at the
University of Houston-Victoria.
Qualitative Measures of Academic Progress
New undergraduate transfer students to the University of
Houston-Victoria will be eligible to apply for
financial assistance if they have been admitted to the university.
Undergraduates and postbaccalaureate students must maintain at least a
2.00 cumulative G.P.A., based on
a 4.0 grading scale at the University of Houston-Victoria.
First-time, first-year graduate students will be eligible to apply for
financial assistance if they have been admitted to the university.
Graduate students are required to maintain at least a 3.00 cumulative
grade point average, based on a 4.00
grading scale at the UH-Victoria.
The minimum cumulative grade point averages are consistent with the
university’s requirements for
graduation.
Quantitative Measures of Academic Progress
Undergraduate students receiving financial assistance must complete at
least 62% of the cumulative credit
hours attempted at the University of Houston-Victoria only in order to
maintain eligibility.
This is considered the minimum hour completion increment.
All post baccalaureate students receiving financial assistance must
complete at least 62% of the cumulative
credit hours attempted at the University of Houston-Victoria in order to
maintain eligibility. This is considered the minimum hour completion
increment.
All graduate students receiving financial assistance must complete at
least 67% of the cumulative credit hours attempted at the University of Houston-Victoria in order to maintain eligibility. This is considered
the minimum hour completion increment.
Undergraduate students are expected to complete their degree or
certification within a maximum of 170
attempted credit hours. If a student changes majors, he or she must
still get his or her bachelor’s degree or
certification within a maximum of 170 attempted credit hours. No limit
is set to the number of times a
student may change his or her major.
Postbaccalaureate students are allowed a maximum of 100 attempted credit
hours beyond their first bachelor’s degree.
Graduate students are expected to complete their degree or certification
within a maximum of 72
attempted credit hours. If a student changes majors, he or she must
still get his or her master’s degree
within the 86 completed credit hour limitation. No limit is set to the
number of times a student may change
his or her major.
Only credit hours transferred to the University of Houston-Victoria will
be figured into the maximum credit
hour limitation.
Incompletes (I), withdrawals (W), or unsatisfactory (U) grades are not
figured into a student’s grade point
average or counted in the calculation of maximum credit hours completed.
Incompletes, withdrawals, and
unsatisfactory grades are considered attempted hours and are figured
into the attempted vs. completed
minimum credit hour completion increment. When a student informs the
Office of Financial Aid that an
incomplete grade has changed to a passing grade, the student’s academic
progress will be reassessed at that
time. If the student does not inform the office, the grade change will
not be reflected until the next regular
review of satisfactory academic progress.
Repeat courses are figured into the maximum completed credit hour
limitation and the most recent grade
will be used to calculate the student’s grade point average. Students
taking a remedial class(es) will not
have the hours added to the maximum credit hour limitation.
Monitoring of Academic Progress
The cumulative grade point average and maximum credit hour limitation
are monitored each semester. The minimum hour completion increment will
be monitored annually at the end of each spring semester. If a student
fails to maintain satisfactory academic progress, the student will be
placed on financial aid suspension. Students on financial aid suspension
will not be eligible to receive any form of financial assistance.
Records used to monitor satisfactory academic progress will be filed in
the student’s financial aid folder.
Appeal Process
All students not meeting the satisfactory academic requirements will be
notified by mail stating that they
have been placed on financial aid suspension. A copy of the policy and
the SAP Appeal form (Exhibit
20A) will be included in the letter (Exhibit 20B). Students who have
questions or concerns about the
situation are welcome to speak with the Financial Aid Counselor who
monitors SAP or they may appeal the
suspension.
Students who have mitigating circumstances may submit a Satisfactory
Academic Progress Appeal Form along with pertinent documentation within
two months of receiving the letter of suspension. The appeal should be
mailed to the University of Houston-Victoria’s Financial Aid Appeals
Committee; University of Houston-Victoria; 3007 N. Ben Wilson; Victoria,
TX 77901-5731. Examples of mitigating circumstances are a death of a
relative or an illness or injury to the student. The committee consists
of a Financial Aid Counselor who monitors SAP, the Vice President for
Administration and Finance and the Provost, or their designees. The
appeals committee will meet within two weeks of receiving the appeal.
The student must provide the following:
-
The circumstances which caused their suspension (i.e., reasons for
low GPA or for withdrawing from classes)
-
The student’s plan to correct the circumstances (i.e., planned usage
of the Academic Center)
-
Your intended future enrollment plan including the number of hours
remaining before receiving degree
-
A current copy of academic transcript(s)
-
Any other pertinent documentation regarding mitigating circumstances
(i.e., letter from physician).
If the student receives a favorable decision from the UHV Financial Aid
Appeals Committee, the student will be placed on Financial Aid
probation. Financial aid eligibility will be granted for the
probationary period. Probationary status is normally granted for two
semesters only. A letter will be sent to the student notifying him or
her of the results of the appeal. A copy of the letter will also be
filed in the student’s folder. If the student is concerned about the
outcome of the committee’s appeal, the student can make an appointment
to visit with the Financial Aid Director.
At the end of the semester in which the academic progress is monitored,
students on financial aid suspension or probation may regain eligibility
by meeting all qualitative and quantitative aspects of satisfactory
academic progress. A student may receive grants, scholarships, and work
study for the payment period in which the student regains eligibility.
For Federal Stafford Loans, a student who does not meet satisfactory
academic progress standards at the beginning of a period of enrollment
but who meets the standards later in that period is eligible for the
entire period of enrollment in which he or she met the satisfactory
academic progress standards.
Students are notified of the SAP policy in the UHV Catalog online. In
addition, copies are available as a handout in the OFA. SAP policy
guidelines are available on Awards By Web to aid recipients on the FYI
tab and they are on the UHV OFA web page.
The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 changed the formula for
calculating the amounts of aid a student and school can retain when the
student totally withdraws, stops attending, is expelled or takes a
qualified leave of absence from all classes in a given semester.
Students who withdraw from all classes prior to completing more than 60%
of an enrollment period will have their eligibility for aid recalculated
based on the percent of the period completed. For example, a student who
withdraws completing only 30% of the term will have "earned" only 30% of
any Title IV aid received. The remaining 70% must be returned by the
school and/or the student. Aid adjustments may cause the student to
repay a portion of any financial aid received. Students will be notified
of any indebtedness to UHV. Students who withdraw after completing 60%
of the term will be considered to have “earned” 100% of the aid. If a
student is thinking about withdrawing from all classes PRIOR to
completing 60% of the semester, he or she should contact the Office of
Financial Aid (OFA) to see how withdrawal of classes would affect his or
her financial aid.
Official and Unofficial Withdrawals
This policy shall apply to all students who officially or unofficially
withdraw from the University of Houston-Victoria (UHV), and receive
financial aid from Title IV funds:
The term "Title IV Funds" refers to the Federal financial aid programs
authorized under the Higher Education Act of 1965 (as amended) and
includes the following programs: unsubsidized FFEL loans, subsidized
FFEL loans, FFEL PLUS loans, Federal Pell Grants, Federal SEOG, and
Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership Grants (LEAP). The
calculation does not include the Federal College Work-Study program.
A student’s withdrawal date is: the date the student began the
institution’s withdrawal process or officially notified the institution
of the intent to withdraw. This can be done by calling the Voice
Information Processing (VIP) telephone number, logging on to the UHV Web
site and completing a drop/add form, or by completing the drop/add form
at the Office of Admissions and Records or by faxing a drop/add form.
For a student who leaves without notifying the institution, the
withdrawal date will be determined by the midpoint of the period or the
student’s last date of attendance at a documented academically-related
activity (examples of academically-related activity include an exam, a
tutorial, computer assisted instruction, academic counseling, academic
advisement, class assignments completed, or a study group meeting). If
special circumstances exist that prevent a student from beginning the
withdrawal process, the Director of Financial Aid will consider these
matters on a case by case basis.
Drop/add slips and enrollment reports are reviewed to determine who has
withdrawn and when. The Office of Financial Aid also receives an “All F”
report at the end of each semester from the Office of Admissions &
Records. Students who receive a letter grade of “F” in all courses
registered for a term will be subject to the Return of Title IV Funds
calculation once a withdrawal date is determined.
Tuition and Fee Refund Policy for All Students
Refunds on all institutional charges, including tuition and fees, will
be calculated in accordance with Section 54.006 of the Texas Higher
Education Code refund policy when a student drops a class or withdraws
from UHV. The UHV Institutional Refund policy is available at:
http://www.uhv.edu/oar/fee_payment_refunds_more.htm
Return of Title IV Funds Calculation
Title IV aid is earned in a prorated manner on a per diem basis up to
and including the 60% point in the semester. Title IV aid and all other
aid is viewed as 100% earned after that point in time. A copy of the
“Return of Title IV Funds” worksheet used for this calculation can be
obtained from UHV Office of Financial Aid.
Earned Aid = The percentage of Title IV aid earned shall be calculated
as follows: # of days completed by student/Total # of days in term
The percent of term completed shall be the percentage of Title IV aid
earned by the student.
The total number of calendar days in a term of enrollment shall exclude
any scheduled breaks of more than five days.
Unearned Aid = The percentage of Title IV aid unearned (i.e., to be
returned to the appropriate program) shall be: 100% minus the percent
earned.
First the school (UHV) shall return the unearned aid to the federal
programs or lender by debiting the student’s account. The calculation is
as follows:
Total required institutional charges X percent of unearned aid = amount
returned to program(s) by UHV
Second, the student shall return the unearned aid to the federal
programs or lender as follows:
Total unearned aid less the institution’s share = amount returned to the
program by the student
Distribution of Title IV Funds
Unearned Title IV aid shall be returned to the following programs in the
following order:
-
Unsubsidized Stafford Loan
-
Subsidized Stafford Loan
-
Parent Loans to Undergraduate Students (PLUS)
-
Federal Pell Grant
-
Federal SEOG
-
Other Title IV grant programs
Exception: no program can receive a refund if the student did not
receive aid from that program.
When the total amount of unearned aid is greater than the amount
returned by UHV from the student’s account, the student is responsible
for returning unearned aid to the appropriate program(s) as follows:
-
Unsubsidized Stafford Loan
-
Subsidized Stafford Loan
-
Parent Loans to Undergraduate Students (PLUS)*
-
Federal Pell Grant**
-
Federal SEOG**
-
Other Title IV grant programs**
*Loans amounts are returned with the terms of the promissory note.
**Amounts to be returned by the student to federal grant programs will
receive a 50% discount.
Time Line for Return of Title IV Funds
Refunds and adjusted bills will be sent to the student’s home address on
file in the Office of Admissions and Records following withdrawal.
Students are responsible for any portion of their institutional charges
that are left outstanding after Title IV funds are returned. The
Bursar’s Office will send each student up to three collection notices,
allowing outstanding balances to be paid within 90 days. Delinquent
accounts are assigned to an outside collection agency and are reported
to the credit bureau. Students who have an outstanding balance on their
UHV student account will remain ineligible to register for courses in
upcoming semesters until the account is paid in full.
Institutional and Student Responsibilities
UHV responsibilities in regard to the return of Title IV funds include:
Providing each student with the information given in this policy (See
the UHV Catalog); Identifying students who are affected by this policy
and completing the Return of Title IV Funds calculation for those
students within 30 days of determining the student withdrew; and
Returning any Title IV funds that are due the Title IV programs within
30 days of determining the student withdrew.
The student’s responsibilities in regard to the return of Title IV funds
include:
Becoming familiar with the Return of Title IV policy and how complete
withdrawal affects eligibility for Title IV aid; and Returning to the
Title IV programs any funds that were disbursed directly to the student
and which the student was determined to be ineligible for via the Return
of Title IV Funds calculation.
Example
Michael withdrew after attending 11 days of a 110 day enrollment period.
He received a $1000 Pell Grant and a $2500 Federal Subsidized Loan. His
institutional costs were $1000.
Days attended 11 / Days in Period 110 = Percentage completed 10%
Total Title IV aid disbursed $3500 X % Completed 10% = Earned Aid
$350
Total disbursed aid $3500 – Total Earned Aid $350 = Unearned Aid
$3150
100% - % Completed 10% = % Unearned Aid 90%
% Unearned Aid 90% X Institutional Charges $1000 = Uncoverable charges
$900
The lesser of: Unearned Aid to be Returned ($3150) or Uncoverable
Charges = $900
Unearned Aid $3150 – Institution’s Share $900 = Student’s Share
$2250
The institution will return $900 to the Federal Subsidized Loan lender.
The student will return $1600 to the Federal Subsidized Loan lender
according to the terms of the promissory note and $325 to the Pell Grant
Program ($650/2=$325). Amounts to be returned to the grant programs are
reduced by 50 percent. If the student’s account has a balance after
returning the financial aid, the student will be billed.
Appeals
Students may make a written appeal for an exception based on their
individual circumstances. The appeal should be made to the Financial Aid
Director. An appeal would be, for example, if the student wanted to
provide documentation to prove that he or she attended classes longer
than the 60th percentage point in the semester.
The fees, procedures, and policies listed above supersede those
published previously and are subject to change at any time.
