You may make an online payment (with your checking account) at http://portal.semo.edu by logging in with your SE key and password.
Financial Probation/ Suspension/Withdrawal If a student’s account is past due, the student may be placed on financial probation. If the account is not brought current by the probation deadline, the student may be placed on financial suspension. If placed on financial suspension, they will not be allowed to attend classes, take exams, or participate in University sanctioned events. When, after University efforts to notify the student of financial suspension, the student does not take appropriate action to pay delinquent charges, the student may be administratively withdrawn from the University.
Refund Information Students can withdraw from the University or drop specific classes using the web registration system, until the published “Last Day to Drop a Class.” After that date, students must contact the Office of the Registrar. The effective date of the withdrawal/dropped class is the date the class or classes are deleted from the student’s record.
If dropping a class online, be sure to complete the transaction and review your schedule to make certain the class is dropped. For students withdrawing from all classes, Student Financial Services will refund fees approximately three to six weeks after the withdrawal is processed. A “Request for Refund of Credit Balance” form, available at the Student Financial Services Office, MUST be completed by the student fully withdrawing to initiate the processing of a refund check. All balances due to the University as a result of other obligations will be deducted from the amount to be refunded. Any remaining balance due the student will be mailed to the student’s permanent address or sent electronically through direct deposit if already elected. Southeast Missouri State University complies with Federal regulations regarding refunds on student accounts having Federal Title IV program funds applied to the account. Federal regulations mandate the amount and order of Federal Title IV funds that must be returned to the student’s lender (in the case of a student loan) or to the Pell Grant or the Perkins loan when a student withdraws from the University. In some cases, the mandated return of Federal Title IV funds to the student’s lender, Pell Grant or Perkins loan will leave an unpaid balance on the student’s account, for which the student is responsible.

For your convenience, Southeast offers an Installment Payment Plan (IPP). IPPs are arranged through Student Financial Services, and can be set up online when making your first payment of the semester. IPP information is included with the first billing statement of the fall and spring semesters. The IPP is not available for summer. These options are available online through the Southeast Portal for the students to choose, including the ability to review a “pre-calculation” screen prior to selecting and enrolling in that option. Students may also sign up for one of the payment options by indicating their choice on their Statement of Account and Class Schedule (billing statement) and returning it along with the appropriate payment, by the payment due date. Additionally, the IPP will calculate ALL CURRENT SEMESTER CHARGES for the installment amounts. The first payment of each plan will include the first installment, plus associated costs to enroll in the specific plan, plus any prior semester charges (if applicable). Past due charges cannot be placed on the IPP but must be paid on or before the time the IPP enrollment is submitted. Students will be sent monthly billing statements for the account balance. Additional charges may have recalculated your monthly installment. For current installment amount due, please check your student account through the portal or contact SFS. Payments must be received and receipted by the end of business on the due dates. Failure to make payments on time will result in assessment of late fees and possible class cancellation. Please contact Student Financial Services Office with any questions.

Financial Aid Basics The most important form to complete for financial aid consideration is the FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL STUDENT AID (FAFSA). This is an online application. If you are unable to complete the form on-line you may request a paper copy by contacting the Department of Education at 1-800-433-3243. The FAFSA, available on the Internet (FAFSA on the Web – www.fafsa.ed.gov) is required in order to receive any type of federal financial aid, many types of state aid, as well as some types of institutional aid. Results of the 2010-2011 FAFSA, sent to you as a Student Aid Report (SAR) and to the school electronically, will be used by our office to determine your eligibility for various federal aid programs for the fall 2010, spring 2011, and summer 2011 semesters. Even if you do not qualify for any grant programs, you may still be eligible for financial aid in the form of student loans, parent loans, and/or work. For many students, federal and state programs offer the largest pool of aid money. Federal and state governments are not the only sources of financial assistance. For example, Southeast maintains a variety of scholarship programs. Information and applications for these scholarships are available through the Student Financial Services office and on-line at www.semo.edu/ financing/index.htm. Also, there are a large number of local and regional scholarships available to qualified students. Qualifications for scholarships may require that the recipient demonstrate financial need as determined by the FAFSA or at least have a completed FAFSA on file with the institution. Some good reference sources for locating scholarships and other aid programs are your high school, local businesses or organizations, books and magazines available at many bookstores or your local library, and various Web sites on the Internet.
Federal Pell Grant – the most widely known
Federal Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent Grant (National Smart Grant) – a grant program
for Pell eligible, full-time undergraduate students in their third and fourth year of college who are majoring in physical, life or computer sciences, mathematics, technology, or engineering or in a foreign language deemed critical to national security. A minimum 3.0 GPA is required. These awards are up to $4000 per year. The 2010-2011 academic year is the last year this program will be available.
Teach Grant – a federal grant beginning fall 2008 for students pursuing a baccalaureate or masters degree in Education. The FAFSA is required. This grant requires a service obligation to teach full-time as a highly qualified teacher in a high-need field for at least four years after completing the eligible program. Failure to meet the service obligation results in the total grant becoming a Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan. Maximum grant awards range from $1000 for less than half-time enrollment to $4000 for full-time enrollment. Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) – as its name implies this is a supplemental grant program. This program is need-based and eligibility is usually limited to recipients of the Federal Pell Grant. Funding may not be sufficient to cover all eligible applicants. Priority will be given to those who apply early and meet all eligibility requirements. This grant is also determined by the EFC and the March 1 FAFSA application deadline is required for consideration.
Federal Direct Student Loan Programs – this program includes Federal
Stafford Loans (subsidized and unsubsidized) and Parent Loans (PLUS). These loans are low-interest and have a 10year repayment option. Your FAFSA information along with other financial aid eligibility determines what kind of loan you are eligible to receive.
grant program. This form of aid is need-based and is determined by your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) as calculated by the FAFSA information you supply. For the 2009-2010 academic year the maximum award is $5350. The U.S. Department of Education estimates the maximum Pell Grant for 2010-2011 will be $5550.
Federal Perkins Loan – a low interest
Federal Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG) – a grant program for first- and second-
employment program for students. There are two advantages for students who are eligible for the FWS program at Southeast: most departments on campus want to hire students who have been awarded FWS due to a break in the payroll costs to them; and students who work and earn FWS monies report those funds on the FAFSA the following year and the funds are then excluded from the calculation that determines the expected student contribution.

Tips for the Financial Aid Process ►►File your 2010-2011 FAFSA by March 1, 2010 for
priority processing and before May 1, 2010 to allow sufficient time to process aid prior to the first billing due date for the fall semester (usually August 1).
►►Read all mail sent or emailed to you from our office. Our
office will correspond with you through your Southeast email account or through regular mail delivered via the U.S. Postal Service. Be sure to activate your email account so you don’t miss important information. It may include information that could affect your aid eligibility. Additionally, it is important that Southeast has your current address at all times. Changes can be made on-line through My Southeast Self-Service or at the Registrars Office (573-651-2250). ►►Keep copies of your and your parents’ tax information
(including W-2s). Since approximately 30% of all students who apply for financial aid are chosen for verification, you may need to provide our office with this documentation. ►►Don’t assume that financial aid alone will cover your bill.
Financial aid is financial assistance and often will not cover your costs entirely. Be prepared to have some cash when you begin school in August. Refunds from your financial aid are often not available until the third or fourth week of the semester. ►►Be aware that the number of hours you take in a
semester may affect how much aid you are eligible to receive or continue to receive. Like other schools, we are required to make sure that you are making satisfactory progress if you are receiving financial aid. Read the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy provided with your financial aid award letter. ►►Understand that government/state regulations and
funding do change. This may mean small or large changes in the aid programs for which you are eligible. These changes are beyond our control; however, we will try to keep you informed. As stated previously, watch your email for any updates that affect you. ►►Ask questions. Our office employs many highly
experienced people with extensive backgrounds in financial aid programs. They are here to help you through the process of applying and receiving aid. Also, if you receive conflicting information from other sources, make sure you contact us to get your situation resolved.

Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) What is FERPA? FERPA protects the privacy of student records. It was designed to allow parents of students or students who are either 18 or attend a post-secondary institution access to their educational records and limit the transferability of a student’s records without the individual’s consent. What is a student record? A student record means any information or data on a person who has attended or is attending Southeast Missouri State University. What does this mean for parents? When a student turns 18 or enrolls at Southeast, control of the rights granted under FERPA transferred to the student. Southeast will only release a student’s educational records with the consent of the student. Records include grade reports, transcripts and judicial reports. What about judicial records? Judicial records are considered educational records and are protected FERPA. You may become aware that your student has been found in violation of the University’s Code of Student Conduct if a judicial fine shows up on his/her student account.
FERPA does allow the University to notify a parent or guardian when a student under the age of 21 has been found in violation of University alcohol or drug rules. If your student is in this situation, you will receive a letter from the Dean of Students indicating that your student has committed a violation and has been issued a disciplinary sanction but no other specific details will be given. If you contact the Office of Judicial Affairs to inquire about the nature of the judicial fine, you will be informed that your student must sign a Release of Information Authorization in order for a staff member to discuss the violation with you. What if my student visits University Counseling Services? Services provided by University Counseling Services are confidential. Federal and state laws along with professional ethical standards prohibit the disclosure of any information provided unless University Counseling Services has received the student’s written consent to release their information. There are exceptions to the confidentiality laws and standards: ►►If a Counseling Services caregiver believes the student is
in clear and imminent danger of harm, the caregiver is legally obligated to inform proper authorities in order to help prevent the harm from occurring.
13
►►If a student provides information to a caregiver
indicating someone under the age of 18 is being abused, the caregiver is legally required to notify the proper authorities. ►►In rare cases a court may order a caregiver to disclose
information about a student. ►►If a student is under 17 ½ years of age, parents or legal
guardians may have access to treatment records. Will I be notified if my student is physically hurt? In most cases if the student is seriously hurt on campus the Office of Public Safety responds to most serious injuries. Protocols around notification would be governed by the same standards of confidentiality in the above question with some exceptions: ►►If the student is unconscious or unresponsive, the parent
or guardian may receive a call from emergency workers at the hospital or from the Dean of Students. ►►If the student has an injury resulting from a second
alcohol violation to the Student Code of Conduct, the family will receive a call and a letter from the Dean of Students.
