Lakeland's Financial Aid Information & Resources

Lakeland's Financial Aid office is committed to working with you to find ways to make your college education affordable for you and your family.

We offer a variety of financial aid resources, services and programs designed to help meet your educational expenses. Our staff is dedicated to making sure you receive your aid in a timely and efficient manner.

The key to financing your education is to start planning early so that you will be better prepared to pay for college. To that effort, we encourage all students to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility for grants and other aid at studentaid.gov/fafsa. Lakeland's federal school code is 006804. Additionally, we recommend that all students complete the Lakeland Foundation Scholarship Application, which can be found at myLakeland in the Scholarship Center, located under myRECORDS.

For questions regarding the financial aid process, contact Lakeland's Financial Aid Office or visit the Student Service Center in Room A-1003.

Applying for Financial Aid

• Who is Eligible
• How to Apply
• When to Apply
• What to Expect Next

Eligibility for most financial aid programs is based on your and/or your family's demonstrated financial need and on your registered credit hours.

To be eligible for federal and state financial aid programs, you must be a U.S. citizen or eligible noncitizen.

• If you are in the process of becoming a citizen or permanent resident, you may be eligible. For more details, you can visit the Federal Student Aid website.

To be eligible for federal financial aid programs (Pell, SEOG, Federal Work-Study, Direct Loan, Direct PLUS Loan), you must also:

• Be accepted by the college for admission and provide documentation of high school completion or its equivalent (GED). College Credit Plus (CCP) or students still enrolled in high school are not eligible for aid.
• Be enrolled in a financial aid eligible, approved degree or certificate program.
  • Courses taken as audit are not eligible for federal aid.
  • Visiting students are not eligible for federal aid.
  • Senior citizens taking courses as audit are not eligible for federal aid.
• Comply with requirements concerning submission of a Statement of Educational Purpose. This is included on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
• Not be in default on any federal student loan.
• Not owe a refund to any federal aid programs, including grant overpayments resulting from withdrawing from class(es).
• Maintain satisfactory academic progress as set forth in Lakeland's Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy (PDF).

» top

• Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa.
• You will need an FSA ID to complete the FAFSA.
  • The FSA ID is a username and password that is used to complete the FAFSA, sign important federal student loan documents and access your loan information at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa.
  • If you are required to provide parental information (called "contributors"), parents must also create an FSA ID. You and your contributor(s) must use your own emails and cell numbers. Learn more about who is considered a contributor.
  • Create your FSA ID at studentaid.gov/fsa-id. (Contributors will need to create their own FSA ID. Make sure you are signed out of your account before creation of another FSA ID is attempted.)
• Each contributor will be required to provide consent to their Federal Tax Information (FTI) being included in the FAFSA, even if they did not file a tax return. FTI is transferred directly from the IRS.
• You are also encouraged to complete the Lakeland Foundation Scholarship application, which can be found on myLakeland in the "Scholarship Center," located under "myRECORDS." Complete a new application every year, beginning in October.
• For more information regarding the application process and for a listing of available scholarships, visit lakelandcc.edu/scholarships.
• The Lake-Geauga Education Assistance Foundation (LEAF) is available for walk-in assistance to complete the FAFSA.

You can complete the FAFSA beginning Oct. 1 of each year.

There are times when two different aid years are available for applying at the same time; refer to the chart below to be sure you are applying for the correct year.

To ensure your financial aid is available at the start of each semester, you need to submit your FAFSA at least two months before the start of the term. If any additional documentation is required, this should be submitted at least four weeks before the start of classes.

*FAFSA applications received after these dates will still be considered for aid, but students may not have access to funds until after the start of the semester. This means you should be prepared to use your own funds to pay for a portion of your tuition before the semester's payment deadline and all of your textbooks.

» top

After your FAFSA form is submitted and processed, you'll receive an email with instructions on how to access an online copy of your FAFSA Submission Summary (FSS).

1. You will receive an email with your FSS via email a few days after your FAFSA has been processed.
2. You may get error notifications in your FAFSA Submission Summary. Some of the most common notifications are:
   • Contributor Consent – You are not eligible for federal student aid because you did not provide consent and approval to retrieve and disclose your federal tax information. You can fix this during the review process.
     • It's important to note that contributors CAN provide consent after your submission, but they CANNOT revoke it.
   • The Social Security Administration (SSA) didn't confirm that you are a U.S. Citizen or eligible non-citizen. You can fix this by submitting documentation of U.S. citizenship to Lakeland's Financial Aid Office.
   • The date of birth (DOB) that you reported on the FAFSA does not match SSA records. You can fix this by contacting the SSA to correct their records and then submit proof of your DOB to Lakeland's Financial Aid Office.
   • Your FAFSA form has been selected for verification. This is a process where your school can request copies of certain financial documents. You will be notified via your Lakeland email account of any additional requirements.
3. Be sure to look over your FSS, make sure you did not make a mistake on your FAFSA, and make corrections to your FAFSA data if necessary. You will receive notification that your FAFSA is being reprocessed.
4. If there are no corrections or additional information you must provide, the FSS will contain your Student Aid Index (SAI). The SAI is an index number (not a dollar amount) used by Lakeland's Financial Aid Office to determine your eligibility for federal and nonfederal student aid.

Provided you list Lakeland's federal school code (006804) on your FAFSA, we will receive your processed application electronically, usually within 3-5 business days, and will use this information for your financial aid offer.

If you are asked to submit additional documentation, do so as soon as possible. Your financial aid cannot be processed without the requested documentation. You will be notified of any additional required documentation or important notices via emails sent to your Lakeland email account.

After all your documentation has been reviewed, you will receive an email notification that your financial aid offer has been created and is ready for your review through your myLakeland account. This is called an offer notification. All correspondence from Lakeland's Financial Aid Office will be sent to your Lakeland email account.

Scholarship applications will be reviewed before the start of the academic year.

• If you have been offered a scholarship, you will be notified via your Lakeland email account.
• You can check your myLakeland account to see the amount of your scholarship.
• Scholarships are offered throughout the entire academic year as funds become available.

For consideration for all types of financial aid at Lakeland, you must first complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online. Completing and submitting the FAFSA is free and quick, and it gives you access to the largest sources of financial aid to pay for college through federal, state and school sources.

• Students work on campus and can schedule work hours around their class schedule.

• Students may work up to 25 hours per week on campus while classes are in session and up to 40 hours per week during scheduled college breaks and summer term.

• Students must be making Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) to participate in Federal Work-Study.
• If students are awarded Federal Work-Study, it may reduce the amount of loan funds for which students are eligible.

• Viewing your Financial Aid Information
• Request for Additional Documentation
• Accepting your Financial Aid Offer
• Aid Disbursement
• Where is my Aid?
• Using your Aid on Campus
• Distribution of Refunds
• Keeping your Aid

Your financial aid offer is dependent upon the information you submitted on your FAFSA and includes all your eligibility for federal and nonfederal student aid.

• Your financial aid offer assumes you will be enrolled as a full-time student (12 or more credit hours in a semester) and indicates the semesters for which aid has been offered.
• The types of aid offered to you may include a combination of grants, scholarships, loans and/or work-study.

The financial aid office will send an email to your Lakeland email account when your financial aid offer is complete.

• The financial aid office uses your Lakeland student email as the primary form of communication. Check it often so you don't miss an important notification that could delay the processing of your financial aid.

Your initial financial aid offer is based on enrollment as a full-time student for the academic year. However, you do not have to be a full-time student to qualify for financial aid. Full-time is defined as being registered for 12 or more credit hours in a semester.

Initial financial aid offer amounts represent your funds for a fall/spring academic year. If you enroll in classes for the summer, your financial aid offer will automatically be adjusted to include all three semesters (summer/fall/spring).

Adjustments to your Pell Grant (PELL) will be made based on your actual level of enrollment. Enrollment statuses include: full-time (12 or more credit hours), three-quarter time (9-11 credit hours), half-time (6-8 credit hours) or less than half-time (1-5 credit hours).

Your student loan will be calculated based on what year you are in school, whether you are a dependent or independent student and you must be enrolled in a minimum of 6 credit hours to receive loan funds.

Transfer students who have received financial aid from another school during the current financial aid year should ask their previous school to cancel all pending financial aid. Once that aid has been cancelled, provide documentation of that cancellation to Lakeland's Financial Aid Office. Your aid may be adjusted due to aid received at another school.

» top

If eligible, your financial aid offer could include student loan(s). If you are interested in borrowing a student loan, you must either accept the amount you would like to borrow online through your myLakeland account or complete an Aid Adjustment Request form at Lakeland's Student Service Center.

• You must be enrolled in a minimum of 6 credit hours to receive loan funds.
• All federal loan borrowers must complete a Direct Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN) and if you are borrowing a Direct Loan for the first time, you are required to complete online Entrance Counseling. These requirements can be completed at studentaid.gov. Loan funds will not be processed until you complete these requirements.
• Federal regulations require first-year, first-time borrowers to wait 30 days after the start of their semester before funds can be disbursed to them.
• If you accept a loan for only one semester (i.e., borrowing for only spring semester), per federal regulations, the loan must be split into two disbursements. The first will disburse at the beginning of the semester and the second will disburse at the midpoint of the semester.
• For additional information, review the Direct Loan Brochure (PDF).

Your aid will be disbursed differently depending on if you were offered a federal grant or a federal student loan (Direct Loan).

Federal Pell Grants (PELL) are automatically accepted and will apply towards the cost of tuition and fees once you are registered for classes. If you are eligible for grant funds, your grant amount is adjusted based on your level of enrollment.

If you have completed all loan steps (see below) and meet eligibility requirements, loans disburse to your student account no earlier than 10 days prior to the semester's start date.

Before you can receive your loan funds, you will be required to:

1. Accept your loan offer.
2. Complete Entrance Counseling, if required. Entrance counseling is completed at studentaid.gov. Entrance counseling is only required for students who have not previously borrowed a Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loan.
3. Sign a Master Promissory Note (MPN), if required. The Master Promissory Note is completed online at studentaid.gov.

For more information regarding the loan process, refer to the Direct Loan Brochure (PDF).

The 10 day disbursement rule applies to all students EXCEPT for:

One-Term Loan Borrowers

• Students borrowing Direct Loan funds for only one semester are required to have all their loans disbursed in two equal disbursements. The first half of your disbursement will be applied to your Lakeland student account 10 days before the start of your enrollment period and the second half of your disbursement will be applied to your Lakeland student account no sooner than the midpoint of the semester.

First-Year, First-Time Borrowers (30 Day Delay)

• If you are a first-year, first-time borrower, your initial loan disbursement will not be applied to your Lakeland student account until 30 days after the first day of your enrollment period. This ONLY affects your initial loan disbursement. Due to this federal regulation, Direct Loan funds will not be available for tuition and books. However, Lakeland does offer temporary assistance until your Direct Loan funds are available. You will be notified through your Lakeland email with the information on how to take advantage of this assistance.

If your financial aid funds do not cover your entire account balance and/or your aid is not in place at the time of the tuition due date, you are responsible for the tuition payment. It is recommended that you inquire about the online tuition loan payment plan so that you will not be dropped from your classes for nonpayment.

If your financial aid is more than your tuition and fees (and any bookstore purchases), you will have a credit balance. This will show as a negative balance on your student account. Once class attendance has been verified, a refund will be issued to you.

As long as you meet the instructor's attendance policy, your instructor will verify your attendance electronically. Refunds will not be issued until your class attendance has been verified.

Typically, credit balances are refunded to you within 14 days from the start date each semester after course attendance has been verified.

• If your financial aid is processed later than the second week of the semester, your credit balance will be refunded within 14 days from the date the aid is received by Lakeland.

If you do not attend class(es), your financial aid will be cancelled or reduced and this could cause a delay or cancellation of your refund credit balance.

Credit balances are sent via paper check to the address on file with the college or electronically deposited into an active bank account designated by the student (eRefund). To enroll in eRefunds:

1. Log in to myLakeland.

Financial Aid Policies

If you receive financial aid, it is your responsibility to be aware of the policies that may affect your financial aid. These important policies determine whether or not adjustments in financial aid may be necessary or if you will continue to receive financial aid.

• Student Confidentiality
• Class Attendance
• Pell Recalculation Date
• Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy
• Return of Title IV Federal Funds (R2T4)

In compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), all information received in connection with applications for admissions and financial aid are held in the strictest confidence. No information will be released regarding your record unless you provide written consent.

To release information to another party, you must complete and sign a Permission to Release Information form in person at Lakeland's Student Service Center and provide an approved form of identification (Lakeland ID card or state identification card/driver's license). On the form, you must indicate to whom information can be released and provide an expiration date.

Under FERPA, you have the right to inspect your student file. You may review information in your file and receive copies and information upon written request. To do so, you must complete a Student Document Request Form at Lakeland's Student Service Center indicating the specific documents you are requesting and provide an approved form of identification (Lakeland ID card or state identification card/driver's license).

Your signature on a loan application authorizes Lakeland Community College to release to the lending institution, subsequent holder, the guarantor, U.S. Department of Education, or their agents any requested information pertinent to your loan(s).

To ensure our commitment to student success, attendance must be taken in all classes, regardless of modality (i.e., in-class lecture, online or hybrid), starting with the first day of the class. Faculty may elect to relate course attendance to the course grading policy. You will be notified of this through the course syllabus. If attendance cannot be verified, financial aid will be adjusted accordingly.

You are considered a non-attendee in any course modality when you do not physically attend a class session or do not log in and participate in the course content within the first 14 days of the full term for fall and spring (excluding holidays and emergency closings) and within the first seven days of the term for accelerated terms (excluding holidays and emergency closings), as per the federal regulations. Non-attendees will be administratively withdrawn from the class(es) and, if applicable, financial aid will be returned to the federal government.

Students are able to withdraw from a class from the beginning of the third week through the end of the twelfth week of the semester. After the twelfth week, no withdrawal is permitted.

• A course withdrawal will be indicated on a student's academic record by a grade of "W."
• As long as you attended the class you are withdrawing from and Lakeland has documentation of your attendance in that class, there will be no adjustment in your financial aid.* If attendance cannot be verified, you will be responsible for the tuition and fees.
• Failure to attend class(es) does not constitute withdrawal and may result in a failing grade.
• Students registered for courses other than the standard 16-week semester should consult the Important Dates for appropriate deadlines regarding withdrawal.

*If you completely withdraw from all of your classes prior to completing 60 percent of the semester, the Lakeland Financial Aid Office is required by federal regulations to recalculate federal financial aid eligibility. See Return of Title IV Federal Funds.

Students will be administratively withdrawn from any class in which they are enrolled and have not attended during the first two weeks of the semester.

• Administrative withdrawals will occur at the beginning of the 3rd week of classes (or immediately following the first 20% of a flexibly scheduled class) at a 50% refund.
• Additionally, being administratively withdrawn from your classes may affect your Satisfactory Academic Progress (PDF).

Occasionally the college must cancel a class because of insufficient enrollment. Students enrolled in the class will be notified of the cancellation as soon as possible and may replace the cancelled class.

Students who do not wish to make a substitution will have a reversal of charges for the cancelled class posted to their student account. The college reserves the right to cancel any classes due to unforeseen circumstances.

Students with financial aid should contact Lakeland's Financial Aid Office or stop by Lakeland's Student Service Center to determine how their aid may be affected by this.

In accordance with federal regulations, Lakeland establishes a Pell Recalculation date each semester to determine your enrollment status for financial aid purposes.

The number of credit hours you are enrolled in as of the Pell Recalculation date each semester will count towards your federal grant eligibility. Therefore, you must be registered for all the courses you intend to enroll in for the semester before the Pell Recalculation date regardless of their actual start date.

• If you increase your enrollment level after the Pell Recalculation date, the amount of your grants will not be increased.
• If you decrease your enrollment level after the Pell Recalculation date, the amount of your grants will not be reduced as long as you have attended all of the courses you are enrolled in as of the Pell Recalculation date.
• Should you not attend a class or withdraw from a class without attending, the amount of your grants may be reduced.
• However, if you withdraw from all of your courses for the semester, the Lakeland Financial Aid Office may be required to reduce the amount of your grants and/or loans based on the percentage of the semester that you have not completed.

The Pell Recalculation date is the same date as the 100 percent tuition and fee refund deadline.

• For 8-week and 12-week classes, the Pell Recalculation date is the end of the first week of classes.
• For 16-week classes, the Pell Recalculation date is the end of the second week of classes.
• If you are enrolled in multiple parts of term, your Pell Recalculation date is the end of the 100 percent refund period of your earliest class.

Pell Recalculation dates for each term are posted in your myLakeland portal and on the campus monitors. You can also check with Lakeland's Student Service Center for help determining which date applies to you and how your aid will be affected.

This policy only affects students receiving federal grants (PELL/FSEOG).

At Lakeland, we care about your success! That's why it's important for you to understand and meet the requirements of our Satisfactory Academic Progress (PDF).

This series of standards required to maintain eligibility for federal student aid includes requirements pertaining to completion of credit hours, grade point average (GPA) and maximum timeframe as defined below.

If you do not meet these requirements, you will be ineligible to receive future financial aid.

Lakeland requires that any student who applies for or receives federal financial aid make satisfactory academic progress toward an Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE)-approved degree or certificate.

Satisfactory academic progress is measured as:

• Minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0.
• Successful completion of 67 percent of the cumulative attempted credit hours, including hours of repeated coursework.* Attempted hours are determined by the number of credit hours you are registered for at the end of the 100 percent refund period.
• Completion of a degree or certificate within 150 percent of the number of required credit hours listed in the college catalog for the associate degree or certificate (as determined by the Lakeland Financial Aid Office), including accepted transfer credit hours and up to 30 attempted credit hours of required developmental coursework. This is called "maximum timeframe."
• Students who have GPA hours and have a 0.00 GPA for the semester will become immediately ineligible for future financial assistance.

*Successful grade completions are A, B, C, D, SA, SB, SC. Unsuccessful grade completions are F, W, FNA, U, UD, UF, UFNA, AW, UNA, I, NA.

If you repeat a course, both grades will appear on your academic record, and the most recent grade will be used in calculating the grade point average. Credit hours added after the 100 percent refund period of the term will be included in the SAP calculation, even if financial aid is not used to pay the tuition and fees associated with those hours.

At the end of each term attended, your academic progress will be evaluated, whether or not you receive financial aid. If you fail to meet any of the above requirements, you will receive a notification email from the financial aid office.

After the first term in which the requirements are not met, you will be placed on financial aid warning (WARN) for one subsequent term. During the warning period, you will continue to be eligible for federal financial aid. You are encouraged to seek tutoring or other support services for help.

Through Lakeland's ongoing efforts to enrich the first year experience, new students whose SAP status calculates to WARN after their first term of attendance are required to complete the Promoting Student Success Program (PSSP). Students who do not complete PSSP will be ineligible for further financial aid assistance until they make up their deficiencies.

After the second term in which the requirements are not met, you will become ineligible for federal financial aid. In order to regain federal financial aid eligibility, you will be required to pay for your classes out-of-pocket until you are able to reach the 67 percent completion rate and a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0.

When you are getting close to the maximum timeframe for your degree/certificate, you will receive an email notification through your myLakeland account. Once you have exceeded the maximum timeframe for your degree/certificate, you will become ineligible for federal financial aid.

If there were extenuating circumstances why SAP was not met, you have the right to appeal.  

To appeal, you must complete the online SAP Appeal Counseling session (first-time users will need to create an account). The session will provide you with general SAP information along with step by step instructions on the appeal process. The appeal form will only be available upon successful completion of the  SAP Appeal Counseling session.

Please submit your appeal by the following term deadline:

• Summer 2024: August 2, 2024
• Fall 2024: December 6, 2024
• Spring 2025: May 2, 2025

Once the appeal is submitted and reviewed, the decision will be communicated through your Lakeland email. The decision of the Financial Aid Appeal Committee is final.

If a SAP Appeal is approved, you will be assigned one of the following eligibility statuses:

• Probation: During the probation term, you must make up your deficiencies of credit hours and/or GPA. If you do not make up the deficiencies within one semester, aid is once again revoked.
• Academic plan: If you are placed on an academic plan, you must successfully complete all courses attempted during each semester and earn a semester GPA of 2.25 or higher until you are meeting SAP. If you do not meet the requirements of the plan, aid is once again revoked.
• Maximum timeframe: If a maximum timeframe appeal is approved, you will continue to be eligible for aid as long as you successfully complete all classes attempted that are on your plan and maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0. Your financial aid will be restricted to only courses needed for the program indicated on your academic plan or degree tracker.

• An approved appeal will not result in being eligible for financial aid retroactively.
• Submitting a SAP appeal does not guarantee reinstatement of federal aid.
• If the SAP appeal is denied, you must complete a term at Lakeland or successfully complete the Quickstart Program before you can re-appeal.
• Once you are at the 67 percent completion rate for all attempted courses and a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0, you will go back into good standing.

Students may receive financial aid for repeating courses. However, if you are retaking a course in which you previously earned a passing grade, financial aid can only be used one additional time.

Any course that is repeated will be used in the calculation of your SAP status.

A student is limited to 30 attempted developmental credit hours while receiving federal financial aid. Federal aid will not cover any developmental courses taken after reaching the maximum 30 hours.

These courses include, but are not limited to MATH 0745, MATH 0850, MATH 0890, MATH 0950 and ENGL 0111.

Return of Title IV Federal Funds (R2T4) [PDF]

All students receiving federal financial aid (Title IV) are subject to a recalculation of their aid eligibility if they:

• Completely withdraw from all of their classes prior to the 60% point of the semester or
• Stop attending all of their classes before completing the semester or
• Withdraw from module(s) (part of term) within the semester without completing at least 49% of the days in the semester or at least 6 credit hours within the semester.
  • Students who withdraw from a module (part of term) within the semester are not considered withdrawn per the federal regulations pertaining to R2T4 if the student successfully completes:
    • The requirements for graduation (based on counselor evaluation, or
    • One or more modules that, together, comprise at least 49% of the days in the semester, with passing grades, or
    • Courses equal to or greater than 6 credit hours, with passing grades.

Recalculation is based on the percentage of earned aid using the following Federal Return of Title IV funds formula; this percentage of completed days being equal to the percentage of earned aid:

Percentage of payment period or term completed (number of days completed up to the withdrawal date)

(divided by)

Total days in the payment period or term (deducting any break of five days or more)

Funds are returned to the appropriate federal program based on the percentage of unearned aid. If you earned less aid than was disbursed, the institution would be required to return a portion of the funds and you may be required to return a portion of the funds within 45 days. Keep in mind, this process may result in a balance due to the college and/or the U.S. Department of Education.

If you earned more aid than was disbursed to you, the institution would owe you a post-withdrawal disbursement, which must be paid within 120 days of your withdrawal.

Refunds are allocated in the following order:

• Direct Unsubsidized Loan
• Direct Subsidized Loan
• Parent (PLUS) Loan
• Pell Grant
• Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

If there is a Pell Grant overpayment and you do not repay the funds within 45 days, the account will be turned over to the U.S. Department of Education as an overpayment of federal funds. Students who owe an overpayment of Title IV grant funds are ineligible for further disbursements from the federal financial aid programs (grants and loans) at any institution until the overpayment is paid in full or payment arrangements are made with the U.S. Department of Education.

If you do not pay funds due to the college to cover a tuition and fees balance that resulted from the college returning unearned federal funds, a hold will be placed on your account. This means that you will not be permitted to register for classes or receive transcripts until your balance is paid in full. Continued non-payment of fees owed to the college could result in your account being turned over to the Ohio Attorney General's Office for collection.

Reminder: If you violate the Class Attendance, SAP or Title IV Refund policies, you may be subject to sanctions that may include the immediate return of some or all of the funds received by you and/or a suspension of your eligibility for future financial aid.

Financial aid is money provided by various agencies (federal, state and local governments, colleges or universities, community organizations and private corporations or individuals) to assist students in meeting the cost of attending college. It includes gift-aid (grants and scholarships) and self-help aid (loans, which must be repaid, and student employment).

When you file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the government uses this information to determine how much you and your parent(s), if a dependent, will be able to contribute toward your college expenses. You will then be considered for all federal and some state aid administered by Lakeland's Financial Aid Office. Most students receive a combination of one or more types of aid, which is known as a financial aid offer. 

» top

No. The amount of financial aid offered is determined, in part, by the number of credit hours in which you are enrolled, but you do not have to be full-time (12 credit hours) to receive financial aid. You must be enrolled in six or more credit hours to receive a student loan. The loan amount that you borrow could be affected by attending less than full-time enrollment. If you are eligible for grant funds, your grant amount is adjusted based on your level of enrollment.

» top

Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is an index number determined by the information submitted on the FAFSA. This number helps Lakeland's Financial Aid Office determine what aid we can offer you. Factors used to determine a family's contribution include the wages, adjusted gross income and untaxed income from two years prior to the application year, as well as current assets, marital status, family size and number of individuals in the family attending college.

» top

Financial need is determined by the difference in the Cost of Attendance (COA) and the Expected Family Contribution (EFC).

» top

If you have authorized (via the Authorization Form PDF) your financial aid for use other than tuition, you may be eligible to charge your books to your account using your excess financial aid. To see if you may be eligible to charge your books to your account, check your account via myLakeland. If a credit appears on your account, you may be able to use these funds in the bookstore. The charges will then be applied to your student account. 

» top

Not necessarily. In order to be considered an independent student for financial aid purposes, one or more of the following statements must pertain to you:

• I am 24 years of age or will be turning 24 within the year I am completing the FAFSA.
• I am married (as of the date FAFSA is completed).
• I am currently pursuing a master's or doctoral degree.
• I am a qualified veteran of the U.S. military or currently serving on active duty in the U.S. armed forces for purposes other than training.
• I have children who receive more than half of their support from me within the applicable aid year.
• I have dependents (other than my children or spouse) who live with me and who receive more than half of their support from me during the applicable aid year.
• I am/was an orphan (both parents deceased) or ward of the court or in foster care after turning age 13, or I was a ward of the court until age 18*.
• I have/had a legal guardian other than my biological/step-parents*.
• I am/was an emancipated minor, as determined by my state of legal residence*.
• I am/was an unaccompanied youth who was homeless or at risk of being homeless*.

If you cannot answer "yes" to any of these statements and you feel there are circumstances that warrant you to be an independent student, call Lakeland's Financial Aid Office or stop by the Student Service Center to discuss your options.

*You may be required to provide documentation to Lakeland's Financial Aid Office.

Students with bachelor's degrees may still apply for the Federal Work-Study Program, Federal Direct Subsidized Loan and Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan. Students are not eligible for the Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant or state grants once a bachelor's degree is earned.

The U.S. Department of Education selects some FAFSA applicants for a process called verification. If you are selected, you will be asked to submit a worksheet(s) and/or an IRS Tax Return Transcript to verify the information on the FAFSA is accurate. Spouse or parents' information and other documents may also be requested. Verification must be completed before aid eligibility can be determined.

» top

Once all requested documentation has been submitted to Lakeland, it can take 7-10 business days to review this information. You will be notified through your Lakeland email account when the process is completed and if you have been offered financial aid.

» top

Students who are divorced or legally separated at the time the FAFSA is being completed should not include their partner's income on the FAFSA. For more information on detailed or complicated questions, contact Lakeland's Financial Aid Office or stop by the Student Service Center.

» top

Yes. You should include your spouse's information on the FAFSA if you are married at the time the application is completed. If separate federal income tax returns were filed, combine the adjusted gross incomes from the tax returns and include them on the appropriate line of the FAFSA. Do the same for the amount of taxes paid and other financial amounts.

» top

Lakeland's Financial Aid Office can take into account special circumstances that may affect your need. These may include loss of income due to layoff, disability, divorce, separation or loss of untaxed benefits. You can obtain a Change of Circumstance form from Lakeland's Student Service Center.

NOTE: Not all requests for change of circumstance result in a change to your financial aid.

» top

Yes. You should complete the FAFSA by March 1 of each year in order to have your aid ready for the summer. After you register for summer courses, your financial aid offer will automatically be repackaged to include funds for summer session.
