Financial Aid Code of Conduct
This Code of Conduct is intended to ensure that the relationships between providers of education loans
and other forms of financial aid to students of the Community Colleges within the Connecticut State
Colleges and Universities (CSCU) system with whom they deal are free from all conflicts of interest, both
actual and perceived. The students of our community colleges or, in appropriate cases their parents,
shall be the sole beneficiaries of all forms of financial aid. Learn More
Satisfactory Academic Progress
In March 2005, the Connecticut Community Colleges approved a uniform academic progress standard for all students receiving student financial aid at all of the 12 community colleges. Learn More
Student Responsibilities
Student’s are responsible for responding to any requests for information and documentation from the Financial Aid Office in a timely manner. Failure to respond to requests may result in losing Title IV aid eligibility for the term, requiring students to pay out of pocket for their courses. In addition, students who withdraw from all courses prior to completing 60% of the term will undergo a Return of Title IV Aid calculation to determine if a portion of their award must be returned. In some cases, this results in a balance owed by the student to the school. Please click to Learn More. Learn More
Student right-to-know
The Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA), as amended by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA), requires institutions to annually notify students of their right to receive various consumer information items. This includes many disclosure and reporting requirements for colleges and universities.
