For students who have not decided upon an academic major during their first two years of enrollment, the

University provides a program of general studies. Students may complete the Associate of Arts degree without

deciding upon a major. Alternatively, students may earn the Associate of Arts degree while completing freshman

and sophomore course requirements for a chosen major.

Student Body Diversity:

The University of Arkansas at Monticello is firmly committed to complying with all applicable federal,

state and local laws, and regulations, which provide educational and employment opportunities to all

persons, regardless of their economic or social status, and will not discriminate on the basis of race, color,

religion, creed, gender, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, veteran status, or any legally protected

class. The Office of Special Student Services has been designated to coordinate efforts to comply with all

laws and regulations applicable to qualified disabled individuals as required by Section 504 of the

Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Inquiries concerning the

application of all federal laws and regulations regarding discrimination should be directed to the Human

Relations Officer, Office of Finance and Administration, Babin Business Center, Monticello campus, (870)

460-1021.

The University releases information on the quality of its teacher preparation program according to the

requirements of Section 207 of Title II of the Higher Education Act as amended in 1998. Official Title II data

is published in appropriate University publications. Inquiries concerning Title II data should be directed to the

Dean, School of Education, (870) 460-1062.

Specific information about the student body diversity, including the percentage of enrolled, full-time

students who

•

are male;

•

are female;

•

are a self-identified member of a major racial or ethnic group; and

•

received a Federal Pell Grant

can be found by visiting the College Navigator.

Special Student Services:

The Office of Special Student Services works to ensure that students and staff are given the same rights and

services as others at the University. Special Student Services collaborates with professional agencies,

students, faculty, staff, and the community to create usable, equitable, inclusive, and sustainable learning

environments. Individuals registered with the Office of Special Student Services may receive reasonable

accommodations based on need and documentation provided. Accommodations are approved on an

individual basis and may include classroom, campus and/or residential accommodations, as well as referrals

to specific university services or other agencies. Information regarding this office can be found by visiting

http://www.uamont.edu/pages/admissions/special-student-services

The University of Arkansas at Monticello is committed to ensuring that no otherwise qualified individual with

a disability is excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination in

University programs or activities due to his or her disability. The University is fully committed to complying

with all requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973

(Section 504) and to providing equal educational opportunities to otherwise qualified students with disabilities.

In addition, the University of Arkansas at Monticello has three campuses that provide access through facilities,

or makes necessary accommodations for access and services. This includes residential accessibility for on-

campus living communities.

Improvements in facilities, accessible parking, campus routes, and safety are on-going projects. A new

indoor practice facility with classrooms, elevator added to the School of Education, elevator added for

accessibility to both Wells and Sorrells halls, new Forest Resource Complex, new health and wellness center

and renovated residential facility are examples of recent projects providing either new or improved

accessibility on the main campus. Upgrades have been made at both the McGehee and Crossett campuses for

improved handicapped parking, facility and classroom accessibility.

Campus checks are done monthly to identify any specific facility or campus compliance need, such as sidewalk

repairs, automatic handicapped accessible door service, tactile sidewalk crossing improvements, building

repairs or changes for proper compliance. Immediately reported problems are addressed when

identified. Services for individual student success are assessed and provided or updated for both immediate

and on-going needs. Any academic unit or other area on campus has the opportunity for yearly presentations

regarding ADA compliance.

Requirements and Procedures for Withdrawing from the University:

The University has two semesters (fall and spring), two standard summer sessions, and intersessions for fall and

summer. Students are allowed to withdraw from the University during the first 50 class days of a regular fall or

spring term. Withdrawal dates for specific term sessions varies and may be found in the academic calendar for

the term or session. The academic calendar is posted on the UAM web site prior to the beginning of a term or

session. The web address to access the academic calendar is http://www.uamont.edu/pages/academics/class-

schedules/.

To completely withdraw from the University, the student should begin at the Registrar’s Office on the

Monticello campus (Harris Hall 102) or at the Student Services Office at the Crossett or McGehee location.

At any of these offices, the student will be asked to complete a withdrawal form and show a picture ID. The

advisor’s signature is not required on the withdrawal form.

Before departing from the University, the student should return all library books, laboratory keys, and

University clothing or equipment. If the student is living in University housing, he/she should also check out of

the residence hall through the Office of Residence Life.

When an emergency or other special circumstance makes it impossible for a student to withdraw in person, the

student may correspond with the Office of the Registrar (telephone 870-460-1034) to make alternate

arrangements.

Any student who earns a 0.00 GPA for a term due to earning all F’s, completely withdrawing or a combination

thereof will be placed on Financial Aid Denial immediately with no warning period. Students who receive Title

IV aid and do not complete at least 60% of the semester for which they are enrolled may be required to return a

portion of the Federal funds received. Go to http://www.uamont.edu/pages/financial-aid/important-financial-

aid-links/satisfactory-academic-progress-policy/ to access the UAM Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

standards. All students at UAM must conform to the University of Arkansas at Monticello’s definition of

Satisfactory Academic Progress, even if no financial aid as previously received. Before withdrawing, contact

the UAM Financial Aid Office at (870) 460-1050 to find out how your withdrawal may impact your eligibility

for financial aid.

During a fall or spring semester, withdrawals will be recorded on a student’s transcript as

follows: First 11 class days – no course listed

class day through 50th class day – grade of “W”

After 50

class day – no drops or withdrawals allowed

Financial aid for fall and spring semesters is paid based on your enrollment/attendance as of the 11

class day.

Failure to begin attendance by the 11

class day may result in your aid being reduced or cancelled.

During a standard summer session, withdrawals will be recorded on a student’s transcript as follows:

First 5 class days – no course listed

class day until three days before the end of the session – grade of “W”

Last three class days – no drops or withdrawals allowed.

Financial aid for summer is paid based on your enrollment/attendance as of the 5

class day. Failure to begin

attendance by the 5

class day may result in your aid being reduced or cancelled. For Financial Aid purposes,

summer is considered to be one semester with multiple modules (sessions).

Because classes may be offered in various sessions at any time, students are advised to review the Academic

Calendar posted on the UAM web page for specific information. The calendar can be accessed by going to the

UAM web page (www.uamont.edu) and clicking on “Class Schedules” under the Academics quick link at the

top left of the page. Questions about the withdrawal process should be directed to the Office of the Registrar at

870-460-1034.

Notification of Student Rights under FERPA:

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to

their education records. These rights include:

(1) The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the University

receives a request for access.

A student should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official, a

request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The University official will make arrangements

for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not

maintained by the University official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of

the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.

(2) The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes are inaccurate,

misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA.

A student who wishes to ask the University to amend a record should write the University official responsible for

the record, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why it should be

changed.

If the University decides not to amend the record as requested, the University will notify the student in writing of

the decision and the student’s right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information

regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.

(3) The right to provide written consent before the University discloses personally identifiable information from

the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.

The University discloses education records without a student’s prior written consent under the FERPA exception

for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests, including educational research. A school

official is a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or

support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with

whom the University has contracted as its agent to provide a service instead of using University employees or

officials (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a

student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another

school official in performing his or her tasks.

A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order

to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for the University.

4) The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the

University to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers

FERPA is:

Family Policy Compliance Office

U.S. Department of Education 400

Public Notice of Directory Information:

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a Federal law, requires that the

University of Arkansas at Monticello, with certain exceptions, obtain a student’s written

consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from the student’s

education records. However, the University of Arkansas at Monticello may disclose

appropriately designated “directory information” without written consent, unless the student

has advised the University to the contrary in accordance with University procedures. The

primary purpose of directory

information is to allow the University to include this type of information from a student’s

education records in certain school publications. Examples include:

•

A playbill, showing the student’s role in a drama production;

•

Dean’s List or other recognition lists;

•

Graduation programs; and

•

Sports activity sheets, such as for football, showing weight and height of team members.

Directory information, which is information that is generally not considered harmful or

an invasion of privacy if released, can also be disclosed to outside organizations without

a student’s prior written consent. Outside organizations include, but are not limited to,

companies that manufacture class rings or publish yearbooks.

In accordance with the provisions of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974

(FERPA), the University of Arkansas at Monticello hereby designates the following student

information as public or “directory information.” Such information may be disclosed by the

institution, without a student’s previous consent, for any purpose, at its discretion:

1. Name

2. Address

3. Telephone number

4. Photograph

5. Date and place of birth

6. Nationality

7. Parent’s name and address

8. Spouse’s name and address

9. Marital Status

10. Religious preference

11. Number of hours enrolled

12. Number of hours completed

13. Classification by year

14. Dates of attendance at University

15. Major field of study

16. Participation in recognized activities and sports

17. Weight and height (athletic teams)

18. Scholarships, honors, degrees and awards received

19. Name of most recent educational institution

20. Campus e-mail address

At any time, students may restrict the release of any/all “directory information” by completing

the Restriction of Information section of the Release and/or Restriction of Student Information

form or by visiting the student’s WeevilNet self-service account and accessing the “Security”

tab on the Personal Information page to enter the restriction. Students should be aware that

restricting the release of “directory information” has other consequences. For example,

depending upon the particular directory items restricted, the University may not notify a

student’s hometown newspaper about awards and honors received, may not verify enrollment to

a third party, or may not verify degree completion to a third party.

UAM Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

This policy is also available online at http://www.uamont.edu/pages/financial-

aid/important-financial-aid- links/satisfactory-academic-progress-policy/.

All students at UAM must conform to the University of Arkansas at Monticello’s definition of

Satisfactory Academic Progress, even if no financial aid was previously received. All

Satisfactory Academic Progress notices will be sent to the student’s official UAM e-mail

account. The standards for Satisfactory Academic Progress at the UAM are as follows:

Qualitative Standards:

A student must earn a cumulative and term grade point average (GPA) of 2.00 to receive

student financial aid. A student who is suspended (by academic policy) because of failure to

maintain the minimum GPA is not making satisfactory academic progress and will not be

eligible for financial aid. NOTE: PERMISSION FROM THE ACADEMIC APPEALS

COMMITTEE FOR A SUSPENDED STUDENT TO ENROLL DOES NOT REINSTATE

THAT STUDENT’S FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY.

Quantitative Standards:

There are two quantitative requirements that a student must meet in order to remain eligible for

financial assistance:

Pace of Progression: Students must successfully complete 67% of cumulative hours attempted.

Cumulative hours attempted include hours earned, remedial hours earned, repeated hours,

transfer hours and grades of W, F, AU and I. The formula used to monitor Pace of Progression

is:

# of cumulative hours earned

X 100

# of cumulative hours attempted

Maximum Time Frame: The maximum number of hours a student will be eligible for Title IV

aid is limited to 150% of the hours required for their program of study. A student will lose

eligibility for Title IV aid when they have attempted more than 150% of the hours required for

their program of study. Attempted hours include hours earned, remedial hours earned, repeated

hours, transfer hours and grades of W, F, AU, or I. For example, most bachelors degrees at

UAM require 120 hours; therefore, eligibility is limited to 180 (120 x 1.5) attempted hours.

Associate Degrees and Technical Certificates require less hours, so eligibility for those programs

will be limited to fewer attempted hours. All hours attempted for degrees earned at other

institutions are considered to be posted to the student’s transcript. If at any point, it becomes

mathematically impossible for a student to complete their program of study within the 150%

timeframe, the student will lose eligibility for Title IV aid. Pursuit of a second degree will not

increase the maximum timeframe for Title IV eligibility. All enrollment periods count toward

the maximum time frame, regardless of a change in degree or major. Courses that are repeated

will count towards attempted hours each time the course is repeated but will be counted as hours

earned only once.

• The following grades will not be considered as hours earned W, I, AU, or F. Any student who

earns a 0.00 GPA for a term due to earning all F's, completely withdrawing or a

combination thereof will be placed on Financial Aid Denial immediately with no warning

period.

• Changes in SAP status due to grade changes will be evaluated at the time that the Registrar’s

Office notifies the Financial aid Office of the grade change.

• Satisfactory Academic Progress will be evaluated at the end of the Fall, Spring and Summer

terms. All sessions within the summer term will be evaluated as one term. Those students not

meeting the requirements stated above will be placed on Financial Aid Warning. The student

may continue to receive financial assistance during the warning period. If the satisfactory

academic progress standards have not been met at the end of the warning period, the student will

be DENIED assistance from federal and institutional sources.

• A student admitted to UAM on Conditional Academic Standing will be placed on Financial Aid

Warning.

Appeal Process:

• A student who has been placed on Financial Aid Denial will NOT receive any types of federal

or institutional aid until one of the following conditions is met: (1) The student comes into

compliance with the policy; or (2) The Financial Aid Appeals Committee reinstates the student’s

financial assistance due to mitigating or extenuating circumstances for which there is supporting

documentation.

• Appeals for reinstatement of financial assistance must be submitted in writing with

supporting documentation attached to the Director of Financial Aid by the deadline stated on

the denial notice. Appeals are reviewed by the Financial Aid Appeals Committee. The decision

of the Financial Aid Appeals Committee is final and there is no further avenue of appeal.

• An appeal may be approved only if the student will be able to meet Satisfactory Academic

Progress standards after the subsequent payment period, or the student is placed on an academic

plan that, if followed, will ensure that the student is able to meet the Satisfactory Academic

Progress standards by a specific point in time.

• Students who have a successful appeal will be placed on Financial Aid Probation.

Finalize and Confirm Enrollment:

The State of Arkansas requires that a student must confirm their enrollment in order to be

counted as a student. This process is done every semester by finalizing your registration with the

UAM Cashier’s Office. Students who do not finalize their registration will be dropped from their

classes. Instructions for finalizing your registration are regularly e-mailed to students at their

official UAM e-mail address and posted on campus.

If a student is enrolled in courses that do not count toward his/her degree and/or if a student is

repeating a course in which a passing grade was previously earned (unless repeating for

ADDITIONAL credit is allowable), they cannot be used to determine enrollment status for aid

purposes; however, effective July 1, 2011, federal regulations regarding repeated coursework

were amended to allow repeated coursework to count toward enrollment status in term-based

programs in that a student: (1) May repeat previously passed course once; and/or (2) May repeat

failed course until it is passed. EXCEPTION: Remedial coursework may count toward

enrollment status for a maximum of 30 remedial hours attempted.

Based on 11

class day (census date) enrollment, financial aid disbursements to student accounts

will begin on or about the 12

class day of the semester (Fall: 09/08/2017; Spring: 01/26/2018).

After the 11

class day, awards and disbursements will be made based on the 11

class day

enrollment; except when courses have been dropped, then calculation of enrollment status varies

based on type of aid being awarded or disbursed. Hours that are to be added by override (i.e.,

green/purple cards) will not count towards financial aid unless the override is completed and you

are registered for the class by the 11

class day. Remaining credit balances, if any, will be

refunded to eligible students per refund dates published and posted each semester. Not all

students will have a credit balance and not all anticipated credit balances will occur at the same

point in the term. Types of aid as well as tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board,

and other miscellaneous student account charges will vary from student to student based on

enrollment, on-campus purchases, and housing/meal plans, if living on campus. Please monitor

your financial aid and refund status via WeevilNet. Multiple processes by various departments

are required in order for your financial aid to move from Anticipated Aid to your student

account. We ask your patience as these processes are carried out and that you keep in mind that

there may be times when WeevilNet may show your aid authorized, but not disbursed or

disbursed but not applied to your student account.

You must attend class (or participate, if online) as of the semester census date to be eligible for

most types of Federal financial aid. Attendance (participation) in an online course DOES include

submission of an academic assignment (even if an assignment is not due by the census date),

participation in online discussion about academic matters, and initiation of contact with

instructor to ask question(s) about academic subject. It DOES NOT include documentation that a

student has logged into an online class with no participation, academic counseling or academic

advising.

Federal Pell Grant – A Federal Pell Grant is an award to help eligible undergraduates pay for

their education after high school. Federal Pell Grants provide the “foundation” of financial aid

packages. Effective with the 2012-2013 award year, Federal law has reduced the duration of a

student’s eligibility to receive a Federal Pell Grant from 18 semesters (or its equivalent) to 12

semesters (or its equivalent). This change applies to ALL students who receive a Federal Pell

Grant regardless of when they received their first Federal Pell Grant. In most cases the Federal

Pell Grant does not have to be paid back.

All Federal Pell Grant awards for Fall & Spring semesters are based on projected full-time (12 or

more credit hours) enrollment or actual enrollment at the time aid is packaged; however, full-

time enrollment is generally not a requirement to receive Federal Pell Grant funds. Federal Pell

Grants will be adjusted for students who are not enrolled and attending (or participating, if

online) full-time as of the semester census date. Adjustments will also be made, even after the

term has ended, if it is determined that a student received Federal Pell Grant funds for a course in

which he/she enrolled but never attended.

NOTE: Upon completion of declared major curriculum requirements for a first bachelor’s

degree, a student is no longer eligible to receive a Pell Grant. Example: A student working on a

double major has completed all requirements for the first bachelor’s degree, but does not apply

for graduation until he or she has completed the requirements for both majors, is no longer

eligible for a Pell Grant.

Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant – A Federal SEOG is an award to help

eligible undergraduates with exceptional financial need. Funding is limited. Priority is given to

Federal Pell Grant recipients. In most cases a Federal SEOG does not have to be paid back.

Federal College Work Study – The Federal College Work Study program provides eligible

undergraduates or graduate students an opportunity to work at an on-campus or community

service job. Funding is limited. FCWS helps you earn money for college expenses.

Students who are able to secure a campus job through the Federal College Work Study program

may work a maximum of twenty hours per week and are paid minimum wage. Students are paid

once a month for hours worked. Students must complete several payroll documents in the

Financial Aid Office before they can begin working on campus. Prior to being certified to work,

students must bring a valid driver’s license and a Social Security card or birth certificate to the

UAM Financial Aid Office. A work study award does NOT guarantee the student employment

on campus. Each student must locate a job on campus. Unfortunately UAM does not have a job

for every student who qualifies for work study funds. Accepting a work study award does not

guarantee that the student will earn the full amount listed on the award letter.

Return of Title IV – Students who receive Title IV aid and do not complete at least 60% of the

semester for which they are enrolled may be required to return a portion of the Federal funds

received. Title IV aid includes, but is not limited to, Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental

Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG), and Direct Loans (Stafford and PLUS). In most cases,

the withdrawal date for students who officially withdraw will be the actual date of withdrawal as

determined by the Registrar’s Office. Students who cease attending without officially

withdrawing are considered “unofficial withdrawals.” The midpoint of the semester (or in some

cases, the last date of attendance) will be used in determining the amount of aid to be returned

for unofficial withdrawals. If you should have to withdraw at any point, contact the Financial

Aid Office.

PLEASE NOTE:

Receipt of additional financial assistance such as scholarships, grants-in-aid, or vocational

rehabilitation grants may change eligibility for awards that have already been processed. Direct

Loans (Stafford and PLUS), Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG) and

Arkansas Department of Higher Education (ADHE; i.e., Academic Challenge, HEOG, etc.) may

be decreased or canceled if the student receives additional assistance. IT IS YOUR

RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP THE FINANCIAL AID OFFICE INFORMED OF ALL

ASSISITANCE YOU WILL BE RECEIVING.

REQUIRED READING: DIRECT STAFFORD LOAN INFORMATION

***LOANS MUST BE REPAID—BORROW ONLY WHAT YOU NEED TO PAY

SCHOOL EXPENSES***

You must be enrolled at least halftime and attending classes (undergraduate: 6 hours/graduate: 3 hours) that are

required for your eligible certificate or degree program in order to be eligible for a Direct Stafford Loan. If we

receive notification from your course instructor that you never attended class, your eligibility for a loan may be

jeopardized. This could also result in your full loan amount being due for repayment immediately (even if the

term has ended).

***LOANS MUST BE REPAID—BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR LOAN PAYMENT IN

YOUR BUDGET***

You, the student, must complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN) and Entrance Counseling before any loan

funds can be applied to your account. Go to https://studentaid.gov/ to complete the MPN and Entrance

Counseling. You will need your FSA ID to log into the website. If you do not already have one, apply for an

FSA ID at https://fsaid.ed.gov/npas/index.htm. The UAM Financial Aid Office does not have access to your FSA

ID. Use of another person’s FSA ID constitutes fraud. Use only your own FSA ID information.

***LOANS MUST BE REPAID—REGULARLY GO TO https://studentaid.gov/

TO TRACK YOUR BORROWING***

All loans are delivered in two disbursements, with one typically arriving at the beginning of the loan period and

the second arriving after one‐half of the loan period has passed.

Loan Proceeds for first‐time borrowers are not disbursed until 30 days after classes begin.

Loans are need-based. The government pays the interest while student is in school at least half-

time.

UNSUBSIDIZED Loans are not need-based. The student pays interest for the life of the loan.

Loan amounts must take into consideration all other aid received. Total financial assistance (loans included)

cannot exceed the cost of attendance (budget as determined by school). If annual limits are borrowed during the

fall and spring terms, additional loan funds will not be available for summer school. Please make a note of your

remaining loan limits and plan accordingly.

***LOANS MUST BE REPAID—FAILURE TO REPAY IMPACTS YOUR CREDIT &

EMPLOYABILITY***

You must notify the UAM Registrar’s Office and your loan servicer of any changes in your name, address,

telephone number or enrollment status.

When you graduate, withdraw, or drop below halftime enrollment at UAM, you must complete an exit

interview. Go to https://studentaid.gov/ and select Exit Counseling.

***LOANS MUST BE REPAID—PLEASE BORROW RESPONSIBLY***

You must repay the loan even if you do not graduate or if you become dissatisfied with the education you

receive. If you receive additional financial aid, you must contact the UAM Financial Aid Office. Additional aid

can result in your Direct Stafford Loan being reduced or reallocated.

Keep this page with your other important financial aid documentation.

Call the UAM Financial Aid Office at 870-460-1050 or 1-800-226-2643 if you have any questions.

NOTE: All tuition and fees are subject to change upon approval by the University Board of Trustees.

FINANCIAL LIABILITY

By enrolling in classes, either during preregistration, regular registration or late registration, students are creating a

financial liability in the amount of fees, tuition, and other charges pertinent to the enrollment process. This financial

liability can be eliminated only by payment or formal cancellation of enrollment before the semester begins. This

liability exists even if a student fails to receive financial aid or does not attend classes.

Students must make the request to drop a course or withdraw from the University in person or through written

communication. For more information, contact the Office of the Registrar at 870-460-1034 (Monticello), the Office

of the Counselor at 870-364-6414 Ext. 125 (Crossett), or the Office of Student Services at 870-222-5363 (McGehee).

ANELNET@ PAYMENT PLAN

To help students meet their educational expenses, the University of Arkansas at Monticello is pleased to offer the

NELNET Payment Plan. NELNET is a tuition-management plan that provides students with a low cost option for

budgeting tuition and other educational expenses. It is not a loan program; therefore, the student has no debt,

there are no interest or finance charges assessed, and there is no credit check. The only cost to budget monthly

payments through NELNET is a $25 per semester NELNET non-refundable enrollment fee. The enrollment fee is

automatically deducted within 14 days of the agreement being posted to the NELNET system. To participate in the

NELNET Payment Plan, students are to visit the UAM home page at www.uamont.edu, click on “Current

Students” (under the Information For section) and then choose the “E-cashier” icon.

FINANCIAL AID

Students who do not begin attendance in all enrolled courses, who do not participate in their online courses, or

who stop attending/participating without officially dropping or withdrawing are reported to the Office of Financial

Aid.

Students who receive Title IV aid and do not complete at least 60% of the semester for which they are enrolled may

be required to return a portion of the federal funds received. Title IV aid includes, but is not limited to, Federal Pell

Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG), and Direct Loans (Stafford and PLUS. In

most cases, the withdrawal calculation date for students who officially withdraw will be the actual date of withdrawal

as determined by the Registrar’s Office. Students who cease attending without officially withdrawing are considered

“unofficial withdrawals.” The midpoint of the semester (or in some cases, the last date of attendance) will be used in

determining the amount of aid to be returned for unofficial withdrawals.

Withdrawing from the University, either officially or unofficially, may require that a student return a substantial amount

of the Title IV funds received. Examples of actual Return of Title IV Funds calculations are available in the Office of

Financial Aid (Monticello) or the Office of Student Services (Crossett or McGehee).

Students who have to withdraw at any point, or have any financial aid question, should visit or contact the UAM

Office of Financial Aid in Harris Hall Room 300 (telephone: 870-460-1050 or toll free: 1-800-226-2643).

REFUNDS

A student can have his/her refund direct deposited or receive a check. A student can enroll in direct deposit by

visiting his/her WeevilNet account and choosing the enroll for refund direct deposit link. Refund checks will be mailed

to the address on file in WeevilNet.

TUITION REFUND POLICY

August 19-21: 100% refunds will be given to students who officially withdraw from any or all of their classes. After

August 21, no refunds will be given to students for individual course drops.

August 24-September 2: 50% refunds will be given to students who officially withdraw from all classes. After

September 2, no refunds will be given to students who withdraw from the University.

For the first three days of classes of the Spring 2016 semester (January 6-8), 100% refunds will be given to students

who officially withdraw from the University or are dropping individual courses. After January 8, no refunds will be

given to students for individual course drops.

January 11-20 (class days 4-10), 50% refunds will be given to students who officially withdraw from all classes.

After January 20, no refunds will be given to students who withdraw from the University.

Students who wish to officially withdraw from the University must complete a withdrawal form in the Office of the

Registrar located in Harris Hall at the Monticello location; the Office of the Counselor at the Crossett location; or

the Office of Student Services at the McGehee location.

The UAM refund policy is subject to change if required by federal regulation or upon approval of the UA Board of Trustees.

IMMUNIZATION/VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS:

In accordance with the laws of the State of Arkansas including, without limitation, Ark. Code Ann. § 20-7-109,

Ark. Code Ann. § 6-18-702, Ark. Code Ann. §§ 6-60-501 - 504, and Ark. Code Ann. § 20-78-206, the University

PERTAINING TO TUBERCULOSIS SCREENING FOR FOREIGN-BORN UNIVERSITY

AND COLLEGE STUDENTS at enrollment. The Director of Student Health Services can allow exemptions from

screening based on permanent residency or birth in a non-endemic country.

Meningococcal Meningitis Advisement*

Meningococcal Meningitis is a rare but potentially dangerous illness. Although the risk of contracting this disease is

low for the general population, there is a greater potential risk of outbreaks for college-aged students due to a

prevalence of risk factors that are often part of campus life. These risk factors include residence hall living, active

and passive smoking, bar patronage, and alcohol consumption. As a preventative measure, Student Health Services

recommends students check with their health care providers for further information about available vaccines or

* as required by Arkansas Legislative Act 1233

ANNUAL SECURITY/FIRE SAFETY REPORT:

The Annual Security Report/Fire Safety Report includes statistics for the previous three years concerning reported

crimes that occurred on-campus, in certain off-campus buildings, on property owned/controlled by the University of

Arkansas at Monticello, and on public property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from, the campus.

The report also includes institutional policies concerning campus security, such as policies addressing sexual assault,

and other matters.

The Annual Security Report/Fire Safety Report is updated each year, and a copy can be obtained by contacting

University Police at 460-1083 or the Office of Student Affairs at 460-1053. The report is also available on the

UAM web site at: http://uam-web2.uamont.edu/pdfs/Student%20Affairs/AnnualSecurityAndFireSafetyReport.pdf

EQUITY IN ATHLETICS DATA:

The Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act requires co-educational institutions of postsecondary education that

participate in a Title IV, federal student financial assistance program, and have an intercollegiate athletic program, to

prepare an annual report to the Department of Education on athletic participation, staffing, and revenues and

expenses, by men's and women's teams. The Department will use this information in preparing its required report to

provides the statutory authority for most of the programs and activities administered or conducted by the Office of

Postsecondary Education, including requirements related to equity in athletics disclosure.
