Financial Aid Application Timelines/Tuition Deferrals 1. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available January 1, 2013 for the 2013-14 academic year. All students must apply each year for federal and state aid programs. The easiest and quickest way to apply is over the Internet at www.fafsa.gov. To get started, download the fafsa-on-the-web worksheet from www.fafsa.gov. 2. Students wishing to use an approved financial aid award to help defer all or part of a tuition and fee bill must have filed the FAFSA, submitted the TAP Application and have all necessary documentation to process a financial aid award before the tuition bill is due. 3. The following application timeline will be used to process aid for the 2013-14 academic year: • Aid applications will be reviewed beginning March 1, 2013 • Aid applications completed and mailed to the Federal Student Aid Processor by March 1 will be processed in time to meet the fall and spring tuition due dates. An approved award will be reflected on the tuition bill. This is one of the College’s approved methods of meeting your tuition obligation. • Aid applications filed after March 1 will continue to be reviewed and processed according to the date received. Students wishing to use an approved financial aid award to meet tuition obligations must file no later than four weeks before classes begin. • If a student’s aid application is filed with fewer than four weeks before classes begin, the student must be prepared to cover tuition and educational expenses up-front, and then be reimbursed with financial aid, if eligible, at a later date.

Participating colleges include: • Keuka College • Northeastern Seminary • St. John Fisher • SUNY Delhi • SUNY Empire State College
Transfer/Articulation Agreements (For students who wish to continue their education after Onondaga Community College) Onondaga Community College has many agreements with public and private four year institutions. Generally, these agreements are from program to program, and they specify the courses the student should take at Onondaga Community College, along with the required grade average, to ensure junior status at the four-year institution. Since these articulation agreements continue to increase in number and are constantly evolving to reflect changes in program requirements, it is imperative that students consult early with a transfer counselor in the Center for Advising and First Year Students to determine the terms and conditions of agreements that might be of interest.

There is an RHD available 24 hours/7 days a week in case of an emergency. Along with the professional staff, there are resident assistants (RAs), who are student leaders within the halls. RAs serve as a resource for students and assist in planning educational and social programs for the residents. Standards of conduct and expectations of resident students are outlined in the OCCHDC Housing License Agreement, and in more detail in the student handbook and Keys to Residence Hall Living. Students and parents should become familiar with these guidelines. Residence halls are closed on designated campus breaks and holidays including Thanksgiving and spring break. Students may leave their personal belongings in their suite/room but may not remain on campus during these times without special permission. During the winter and summer terms, residence hall students may stay on campus if registered for a class. The most current information regarding the cost of living in the residence halls is available on the College website.
