FINANCIAL AID
Repeated Courses. A student may use financial aid to repeat a course in which an ¨N¨, ¨D¨, or ¨F¨ has been earned. A student may not repeat a course for credit in which a grade of ¨C¨ or better was earned (unless permission of the Vice President for Instruction is obtained). The student may improve a grade in a course and the repeat credit(s) will be included in the total number of credits when determining enrollment status. The student must be making satisfactory progress. Remedial Courses. Okaloosa-Walton Community College approves remedial courses for the use of financial aid and includes remedial courses where necessary when determining a student's enrollment status. Admission placement testing requirements will determine if remedial courses are needed in a student's degree program. Verification. The U. S. Department of Education randomly flags a student's Student Aid Report (SAR) for verification. Students selected must provide all the necessary documents needed for this process (i.e. income tax forms, W-2 forms). Okaloosa-Walton Community College's Financial Aid Office retains the right to request supporting documents it deems necessary from any student to determine financial aid eligibility. For this reason, OWCC suggests that students do not file financial aid applications until the tax forms for the family are complete and correct. Inaccurate estimates of income and taxes paid may require extensive processing delays and verification of corrected data. All financial information reported MUST BE CORRECT. Penalties or delays may occur if the data is incorrect or incomplete.
The federal government has programs which provide some financial assistance for veterans and their dependents. These programs are described in the ¨Instructional Programs¨ section of this catalog (see index for page number). Assistance and information may be obtained from the campus Registrar's Office or from the Veterans Administration, Regional Office, P.O. Box 1437, St. Petersburg, Florida 33731.
