Frequently Asked Questions

当我们收到您的FAFSA信息时，学生金融服务代表将审查您的申请，以确定您获得联邦、州和机构援助的资格。为了确定您的经济资格，您的家庭预期缴款总额根据教育部(DOE)建立的公式计算，将从您的教育费用预算中扣除。差额是你对经济援助的“预期需求”。“计算需要”的一部分由财政援助(赠款、贷款等)支付。其余部分被认为是“预期家庭贡献”(EFC)，但可能会超过教育部计算的金额。

Based on the information you provided on the FAFSA, and calculated in accordance with federal guidelines, the “Expected Family Contribution” (EFC) is the minimum amount that parents and students are expected to contribute toward the cost of education. Should you have any questions regarding this complex calculation, please contact a Student Financial Services representative or use the onlineExpected Family Contribution (EFC) Calculator.

In addition to family savings that you have earmarked for this educational investment, students and parents may apply for various loans or financing options as outlined in the following pages. Home equity loans or lines of credit may also provide an advantageous source of funding. Parents need to consult with their employers, unions, fraternal lodges and religious organizations to inquire if their sons or daughters are eligible for a private scholarship.

We understand the needs of families when a parent’s employment status has changed or when a family may not be receiving the same benefits as they did in the prior year. You should contact our office to determine if you qualify for an adjustment to your original application for financial aid. This process requires families to submit in writing a specific explanation of their situation and to provide documentation of the reduction to their income.

SeeSpecial Condition Circumstances and Appealsfor more information.

If your family circumstances remain relatively constant while at Adelphi, and as long as you file your FAFSA by our preferred filing deadline (January 1), you can expect that your financial aid should be approximately the same amount. However, your Federal Direct loan limits will change depending on your grade level and your dependency status.

学校每年根据学生的住房状况和入学水平编制学生教育费预算。以下图表概述了2021-2022学年的各种全职预算的组成部分。每学期注册12学分以下的学生将有基于较低学费的预算。

Review the 2021-2022 estimatedUndergraduate student budget here.

Educational budgets are developed based on several factors, such as level of enrollment (full-time, half-time, etc.) and type of housing (such as on-campus or with parents). Changes in these factors may require a change in financial aid awards. In addition, the receipt of additional sources of aid, such as outside scholarships or employer tuition benefits, may also require a change in your financial aid package. All changes in packaging will result in the receipt of a revised financial assistance plan.

In general, financial aid can only be used to help pay for coursework that is used to meet degree requirements (this includes major, electives and general education requirements). Students should always consult with the Office of Student Financial Services about possible financial ramifications due to academic actions such as add/drops, withdrawals and other enrollment status considerations.

例如，学生为了保持全日制注册状态而选择不适合他们学位的课程。经济援助代表可以建议，在某些情况下，注册少于12个学分的课程是否会实际花费更少。

Since financial aid rules can be complex and can vary by the particular type(s) of financial aid it is the student’s responsibility to be aware of this information.

Yes, changes in enrollment and the timing of these changes can affect both your aid eligibility and your tuition charges. Please view ourrefund policiesfor detailed information.

You should contact the Office of Student Financial Services to be repackaged. Discrepancies in enrollment may delay loan proceeds from being applied to your account and, due to strict federal regulations, may necessitate the return of funds to the lender.

Eligibility for the PLUS loan is determined by completing the Direct Loan Parent PLUS application, which is available atstudentloans.gov.

During the application process a credit check will be performed to determine if your parent(s) meet the credit requirements for a PLUS loan. If the university is notified that your parent(s) have been denied for the PLUS loan, you will be awarded additional unsubsidized federal direct loan funds up to the maximum for which you are eligible. If your parent(s) have an adverse credit history, you may still receive a Direct PLUS Loan through one of these two options:

Your parent(s) may obtain an endorser who does not have an adverse credit history. An endorser is someone who agrees to repay the Direct PLUS Loan if the borrower does not repay it. If you are a parent borrower, the endorser cannot be the child on whose behalf you are borrowing.

Your parent(s) are able to document to the satisfaction of the U.S. Department of Education that there are extenuating circumstances relating to their adverse credit history.

With either option 1 or 2, your parent(s) must also complete credit counseling for PLUS loan borrowers onstudentloans.gov.

If you are selected for verification, you will receive a letter detailing the documentation required to complete the process. If you have made a reporting error in income and assets, your awards may either increase or decrease when verification is completed. Continuing students who have been previous financial aid filers will be sent requests for verification documents prior to the packaging process. Until verification is completed, federal awards will not be credited to the student’s account.

*Please Note: Effective May 18, 2022, the U.S. Department of Education announced temporary changes to the federal financial aid verification process for the 2022-2023 academic year. At this time, several verification documents are no longer required. If additional information is needed, the student will be notified by mail along with any corresponding forms/worksheets needed.

No. Adelphi students who remain in the U.S. and take a portion of their program via online courses offered by a foreign institution would not be eligible for financial aid for those online courses without a fully executed consortium agreement.

Students must first apply for permission to study at another institution in theOffice of Academic Services and Retention. After this application is approved it is brought to the Office of Student Financial Services where you will obtain the Consortium Agreement. This form is completed by the student and the financial aid office of the host school and returned to Student Financial Services for processing.

A federal or state drug conviction can disqualify a student for federal student aid funds. The student self-certifies in applying for aid that he is eligible; you’re not required to confirm this unless you have conflicting information.

只有在学生接受第四章助学金的入学期间，犯罪才算定罪——如果犯罪不是在这段时间内，定罪才算定罪。此外，被推翻、撤销或从学生记录中删除的定罪不算数，也不包括她未成年时收到的定罪，除非她作为成年人受审。

The chart below illustrates the period of ineligibility for FSA funds, depending on whether the conviction was for sale or possession and whether the student had previous offenses. (A conviction for sale of drugs includes convictions for conspiring to sell drugs.)

Period of Ineligibility for FSA funds

1st offense: 1 year from date of possession conviction, 2 years from date of sale conviction

2nd offense: 2 years from date of possession conviction, infinite period from sale conviction

3rd offense: infinite period from possession conviction, infinite period from sale conviction

If the student was convicted of both possessing and selling illegal drugs, and the periods of ineligibility are different, the student will be ineligible for the longer period.

Period of Ineligibility for FSA funds

If the student was convicted of both possessing and selling illegal drugs, and the periods of ineligibility are different, the student will be ineligible for the longer period.

A student regains eligibility the day after the period of ineligibility ends or when he successfully completes a qualified drug rehabilitation program. Further drug convictions will make him ineligible again.

被无限期剥夺资格的学生只有在成功完成以下所述的康复计划后，或如果一项定罪被推翻，搁置，或从学生的记录中删除，从而少于两项因出售而定罪或三项因持有而定罪的记录仍在记录中。在这种情况下，其余定罪的性质和日期将决定学生何时恢复资格。学生有责任向学校证明康复计划已经成功完成。与FAFSA的定罪问题一样，你不需要确认报告的信息，除非有冲突的信息。

When a student regains eligibility during the award year, schools may award Pell, and Campus-based aid for the current payment period and Federal Direct Student Loans for the period of enrollment.

Standards for a Qualified Drug Rehabilitation Program

A qualified drug rehabilitation program must include at least two unannounced drug tests and must satisfy at least one of the following requirements:

• Be qualified to receive funds directly or indirectly from a federal, state or local government program.
• Be qualified to receive payment directly or indirectly from a federally or state-licensed insurance company.
• Be administered or recognized by a federal, state, or local government agency or court.
• Be administered or recognized by a federally or state-licensed hospital, health clinic or medical doctor.
