Sisseton Wahpeton College utilizes an open admissions policy. SWC admits students of any race, creed, and national or ethnic origin. To be admitted under regular college admission requirements, a prospective student must possess a high school diploma or General Education Development (GED) Certificate:

1. Complete an SWC Application for Admission and return it to the SWC Office of Admissions. This must be submitted no later than one week prior to the date of registration.
2. Request that official academic transcripts and/or documents from all previously attended high schools, high school equivalency test centers, and colleges be forwarded directly to the SWC office of Admissions.

NOTE: All transcripts received from other institutions that have been presented for admission or evaluation become a part of each student’s permanent academic file of the college and cannot be
released, duplicated, returned or forwarded to another institution.

3. Former SWC students must complete a SWC Application for Re-admission and return it to the SWC Office of Admissions.
4. Submit certification of Tribal membership, or Tribal ID, if a member of a recognized Tribe.
5. Upon receipt of all required forms and documents as described above, an official letter of acceptance will be issued to the prospective
6. Confer with the SWC Financial Aid Director for information on financial aid requirements.

One is considered a transfer student if one has been enrolled for any college level course work, whether full-time or part-time, in a college other than SWC.

Assessment tests in reading, writing, and mathematics are administered in order to place students in the appropriate courses.   All new students, as well as transfer students and former students who have not met the English or mathematics requirements, are required to take assessment tests.  Former students who attended SWC within the last two years are not required to retake the assessment tests. Non-degreed students or students with “Special Student” status who are registering for four credits or less may be exempt from taking the assessment test.  Assessment tests must be taken before the student will be allowed to register.

The “Ability to Benefit” is a requirement for students to enroll in a post-secondary institution if they do not have a high school diploma or General Education (GED) certificate.  A student admitted on the basis of “Ability to Benefit” must meet the criteria established by the Department of Education in order to enroll in classes and to be eligible for grants, loans, or work assistance.

 The information provided below about ATB tests/policies is subject to change without notice in order to comply with test publisher and Department of Education requirements.

In December 1990, the United States Department of Education issued a policy requiring the testing of applicants who did not possess a high school diploma or a GED (General Educational Development) credential but who wished to enroll in postsecondary education and apply for federal financial aid.
Passing an appropriate test at the specified level would indicate that the candidate has sufficient “ability to benefit” (ATB) from postsecondary education and consequently that the application process for federal financial aid could begin.  Reference:  Federal Register, Oct. 29, 2010 – effective July 1, 2011

The following scores will be used to determine if the candidate has sufficient “Ability to Benefit”.

The current minimum test scores are :      Compass      AccuPlacer

Math 1                                                25               34
Reading                                              62               55
Writing (Objective)                               32               60

 Any returning or continuing student with an outstanding balance will not be allowed to register for classes until payment arrangements have been made with the Business Office. SWC reserves the right to prohibit registering to a student who has not made satisfactory settlements to his or her account. Up to $200 of the student’s Pell award can be applied to an outstanding balance.

1. Make an appointment with your assigned advisor. (Advisors are assigned based upon an individual student’s major program of study.)
2. In consultation with your assigned advisor, select and schedule courses.
3. Complete an official registration form with your advisor and submit it to the Registrar’s Office. Once this is done, you are officially registered for classes.
 4. Complete the Admission Checklist and return it to the Registrar’s Office.

• STUDENT GRIEVANCE POLICY

  Should any student have a compliant or dispute with any Sisseton Wahpeton College employee, he/she has the right to have his/her objection heard and addressed.  Complaints may be filed after an alleged improper, unfair, arbitrary, or discriminatory action. This could include disputes over academic decisions, or if the student believes he/she was subject to unfair or unprofessional treatment by another party. The right of a student to file a grievance also applies to any circumstance where the student believes that he/she was the victim of harassment or discrimination because of race, color, religion, age, national origin, or sex.

  If a student believes that he/she was unfairly treated and/or has a justifiable complaint over an academic or policy issue, then that student should first discuss the matter with the party involved. The issue may simply be a misunderstanding or honest mistake that can be settled through a fair and frank discussion.

  If this action does not satisfactorily resolve the issue, or if the student is uncomfortable approaching the individual, then within ten (10) working days of the event(s) that led to the complaint, the student should contact the Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA), Student Services Director, Department Head, or a member of the Student Senate.  At this point the student must complete a Complaint Form.  When meeting with the student the contacted official will provide consultation regarding conflict resolutions, student’s rights, obligations, and procedural options related to filing a grievance.  The contacted official shall submit the form to Vice President for Academic Affairs within two (2) working days, if the student contacted someone other than the VPAA.

  Issues that may be considered to pose a significant threat, or may involve a violation of law or federal regulations can be referred to the appropriate official agencies.

  If the President determines the circumstances warrant it, the accused may be suspended pending review of the case. Such suspensions will not exceed a reasonable time frame, and will only be imposed when the safety or ability to learn of other students is threatened.

  The student may pursue one of the following options to address their grievance:

  1. Mediation, which should be a preferred initial step in addressing a student grievance; or
  2. Grievance Committee Hearing, for all situations where mediation is inappropriate or where it has failed to satisfactorily resolve the grievance.

  Sisseton Wahpeton College is required to share information about formal written complaints with its accreditor. This information will include the following:

  1. The date the complaint was first formally submitted to an appropriate officer;

  2. The nature of the complaint;

  3. The steps taken by the institution to resolve the complaint;

  4. The institution’s final decision regarding the complaint, including referral to outside agencies;

  5. Any other external actions initiated by the student to resolve the complaint if known to the institution.

  STUDENT GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

  Mediation

  1. The VPAA* will review the summary of the student’s claim(s) and schedule a preliminary mediation session to occur no later than four (4) working days after receiving the Complaint Form.
  2. The student filing the grievance and the employee(s) identified in the grievance will be provided the summary of the claim, along with a notification of the time and location of the mediation session no later than two (2) days prior to the scheduled date.
  3. The mediator(s) will be selected by the VPAA* dependent on the nature of the grievance. In cases where the implementation of policy or procedural issues is at the center of the grievance the VPAA may participate as a mediator.  The mediator(s) will be provided the summary of the claim, along with a notification of the time and location of the mediation session no later than two (2) days prior to the scheduled date.
  •  Upon the conclusion of a successful resolution the lead mediator will draft a summary of the agreement, which must be signed by all parties, and submit it to the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
  •  Any party may decide to end the process of mediation by submitting a request for a formal hearing.  The mediator will provide the VPAA* with a written notice that mediation failed to resolve the issue and with a copy of the request.
  •  The student may end mediation without filing a formal hearing request.  In this case the mediator will provide the VPAA* with a written notice that mediation ceased on the student’s initiative.
  •  Any grievance that involves the VPAA directly will be handled by Office of the President, which may be delegated to a representative.

  Grievance Committee Hearing

  The Formal Grievance Procedure will be followed as outlined in the Employee Handbook.

It is the policy of the Sisseton Wahpeton College that no student be denied access to post-secondary education due to the lack of personal funds. Financial aid programs are available to students, who without such help, would not be able to attend SWC.  Financial aid is awarded for one academic semester at a time. All students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If you complete this application and are considered ineligible, then the SWC Financial Aid Office will work with you to find other sources of financial assistance. Financial aid is processed according to the SWC academic calendar (add/drop deadlines, last day to withdraw, etc.).

Financial assistance at SWC includes scholarships, grants, and Title IV programs such as PELL, Federal Supplemental Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal College Work Study Program. SWC has decided to not participate in the Federal Stafford Loan Program.

Students interested in applying for financial aid should contact the Financial Aid Office for information and application materials.  FAFSA can also be completed online at:  www.fafsa.ed.gov.

When submitting the FAFSA the SWC School Code is 016080.  This will ensure that SWC receives a copy of the Student Aid Report (SAR) electronically. The Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) must be on file before being considered for Federal financial aid.

The Sisseton Wahpeton College adheres to the Higher Education Amendments of 1992.  Students who withdraw from all of their classes after receiving federal financial assistance and before completing at least 60% of the program, may not receive a full refund of  their award. Since SWC does not participate in the Federal Stafford Loan Program, the only refunds will be from the Title IV Pell Grant Program.  Federal Supplemental Opportunity Grants are generally not processed until after the 10th week of classes.  For all refunds the date of withdrawal will be determined by the date on the withdrawal form.

 Federal Pell Grant:  A grant from the federal government that does not have to be repaid if courses are successfully completed. Specific eligibility requirements for the Pell Grant are that the student be either an undergraduate, or be in an eligible  post-baccalaureate program, and not be incarcerated in a federal or state penal institution. Funds received through this program are used to pay tuition, books and fee costs.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG):  A grant from the federal government. Awards at SWC usually range from $100 to $300 per semester. Awards are made based on student expected family contribution (EFC). All full time students with zero EFC are given first priority when disbursing FSEOG funds. Second priority is given to students who are full time with an EFC of $600 or less. Third priority is given to students who are enrolled as 3/4 time students with an EFC of $600 or less.

Federal Work Study Program (FWSP):  If funds are available, this program provides employment opportunities for students who demonstrate a financial need. At SWC awards range from $500 to $3,000 per semester depending on need.  Students can work up to 20 hours per week. Applications are available in the SWC Financial Aid Office.

Tribal Higher Education Scholarship Grants: (formerly known as BIA Higher Education Grant) – Are available to Native American students through the tribe in which they are enrolled; amounts of awards may vary. Awards are disbursed by Tribal  Education Officers. Native American students should contact their tribal headquarters to see if a program is available from their Tribe.

Veteran’s Benefits:  Available to veterans of active military service. All veterans should contact the local Veteran’s Administration Service Office for more information.

 Vocational Rehabilitation:  Designed to assist students with  disabilities. Students who think they might qualify are encouraged to contact the Vocational Rehabilitation Offices located in their city or state.

American Indian College Fund Scholarships:  The American Indian College Fund; headquarters in Denver, Colorado, provides scholarships. Eligibility for these funds is based on private donor requirements. A list of available scholarships is  posted at the beginning of each semester when they become available. All students are encouraged to apply and are strongly encouraged to search the internet for other scholarship opportunities. SWC Student Services and library have additional  resources for locating financial aid and scholarship opportunities.

Tuition waiver applications are available from the SWC Financial Aid Office. In order to be eligible for a tuition waiver you must meet the following requirements:

1. You must be a member of a federally recognized tribe.
2. You must be 55 years of age or older.
3. You must complete a waiver form each semester.

Classes that have been taken before, regardless if you passed or failed the course in the past, are not eligible for tuition waiver.

Important:  All students applying for and/or receiving federal aid should be aware of the strict regulations governing such aid.  It is the obligation of the student to abide by all regulations and to provide correct and accurate data on the application form.  Failure to do so can result in penalties and loss of financial aid.

The Business Office reserves the right to apply all scholarships and/or grants towards current student charges.
All Financial Aid awarded will first be applied to a student’s account until a balance is no longer owed. If a refund is owed, please allow 5-7 business days for check processing.
Sisseton Wahpeton College shall comply with all federal regulations which, when practiced in their entirety, constitute a viable management structure for student financial aid programs.

 The Education Amendment of 1976, P.L. 94-482, 20 U.S.C. 1088 (f.) provides that: any student assistance received by a student under this subcontractor – shall entitle the student receiving it to payments only if that student is maintaining satisfactory progress in the course of study that he/she is pursuing, according to the standards and practices of the institution.

To be eligible to receive financial aid, students must meet the following minimum standards as established by the Sisseton Wahpeton College:

1. Academic Standards:

1. Students classified as freshmen (30 credits or less) must maintain a semester grade point average of 1.5 or better
2. Students classified as sophomores (31 credits or more) must maintain a semester grade point average of 2.0 or better.

2. Rate of Progress Standards:

1. Students must complete their program of study within 150% of the number of credit hours required for their program. For example: If a program of study requires you to
   complete 66 hours you will then be eligible to receive up to 150% or 99 credit hours to complete your program of study. After you have met the 150% program completion
   requirements you will no longer be eligible for Title IV financial aid at SWC.
2. Students must successfully complete 2/3 (66%) of the semester credit hours attempted each term.

If a Title IV financial aid recipient fails to satisfy the standard of academic progress he/she will be placed on financial aid probation during the next semester attended. When on probation
students are eligible to receive Title IV financial aid.

1. While on financial aid probation, if a financial aid recipient fails to satisfactorily complete each course attempted with an acceptable GPA, the recipient will be considered to be
   making unsatisfactory progress and will be placed on financial aid suspension. Financial aid suspension means termination of all Federal financial aid and scholarships
   administered by SWC. While on Financial Aid Suspension, the student is personally responsible for paying the costs of his/her attendance (tuition, books, and fees).
2. In order to regain satisfactory progress status after being placed on Financial Aid Suspension, he/she must satisfactorily complete a minimum of 6 credit hours of coursework
   with an acceptable GPA. During that semester the student is not eligible for financial aid. A student on financial aid suspension cannot receive an I, F, or W (see p. 21 for
   description of these grade assignments) in any class for which they are registered.
3. If a student withdraws from all of his/her courses during two consecutive semesters, that student will be considered to be making unsatisfactory progress, and will be placed
   on financial aid suspension. In order to regain satisfactory progress status, the student must follow the process outlined in Section B above.
4. A student who is placed on financial aid suspension may appeal the cancellation of financial aid eligibility through the SWC Academic Standards Committee. All appeals will be
   handled in a case-by-case fashion.

Sisseton Wahpeton College has a procedure in place to know whether a student has begun attendance in all classes for purposes of the Federal Pell Grant Program. A student is
considered not to have attended a class in which SWC is unable to document that attendance.

SWC Return to Title IV Funds Policy

Return of Title IV Funds occurs when a student withdraws from all classes without completing 60% of the semester. When you receive Pell grant and Federal Supplemental Opportunity Grant to attend Sisseton Wahpeton College, you are agreeing to complete courses covered by your financial aid. According to the Department of Education regulations, if you withdraw from all classes prior to completing more than 60% of a semester, your aid will be recalculated based on the percent of the semester you have completed. The percentage used in calculating a repayment will be the date the student has totally withdrawn from classes.

The date of withdrawal is determined by the student attendance records. The date of school‘s determination that the student withdrew is determined by the Registrars withdraw form. When a student withdraws unofficially or administratively, the student’s last day of attendance is used to calculate the amount of the financial aid to return. If you are thinking about withdrawing from all of your classes or decide to stop attending classes, please contact the Financial Aid Office to determine how this will affect your financial aid and possible repayment.

It is the policy of Sisseton Wahpeton College to send all calculated Return to Title IV funds to the Department of Education for collection; this will determine the student’s eligibility for future Title IV funding, regardless of the institution.

This policy applies to students who withdraw (official, unofficially or fail to return to class) or are dismissed from enrollment at SWC. The R2T4 process is separate and distinct from the SWC Policy. The calculated amount of the “Return of Title IV Funds” that is required for students affected by this policy are determined according to the following definitions and procedures, as prescribed by regulation.

SWC has 45 days from the date the college determines that the student withdrew to return all unearned funds for which it is responsible. The school is required to notify the student if they owe a repayment via written notice. The school must advise the student or parent that they have 14 calendar days from the date the school sent the notification to accept a post-withdrawal disbursement. If a response is not received from the student or parent within the p[permitted time frame or the student declines the funds, the school will return any earned funds that the school is holding to the Title IV programs.  Post withdrawal disbursement must occur within 180 days of the date the student withdrew.

The Return of Title IV Funds (R2T4) regulation does not dictate the institutional refund policy. The calculation of Title IV funds earned by the student has no relationship to the student’s incurred institutional charges.

A school is required to determine the earned and unearned Title IV aid a student has earned as of the date the student ceased attendance based on the amount of time the student spent in attendance.

Withdrawal before 60%:

The college must perform a R2T4 to determine the amount of earned aid up through the 60% point in each payment period or period of enrollment. The institution will use the Department of Education’s prorate schedule to determine the amount of R2T4 funds the student has earned at the time of withdrawal. After the 60% point in the payment period or period of enrollment, a student has earned 100% of the Title IV funds he or she was scheduled to receive during the period. The institution must still perform a R2T4 to determine the amount of aid that the student has earned.

Withdrawal after 60%:

For a student who withdraws after the 60% point-in-time, there are no unearned funds. However, a school must still determine whether the student is eligible for a post-withdrawal disbursement.

Example of calculation:

1. Determine the percentage of Title IV aid earned by the student by taking the calendar days completed in the payment period, divided by the total calendar days in the payment period (excluding breaks of 5 days or more)

18 (completed days)  =  15.3% (% of completed calendar days)

118 (total days)

2. Determine the amount of Title IV aid earned by the student by multiplying the percentage of Title IV aid earned times the total of the Title IV aid disbursed plus the Title IV aid that could have been disbursed for the payment period.

15.3% X $2805.00 = 429.17 (amount of aid earned by student)

3. If this percentage is greater than 60%, the student earns 100% of the disbursed Title IV funds or aid that could have been disbursed.

4. If this percentage is less than 60%, then the percentage earned is equal to the calculated value.

5. Funds are owed to the appropriate federal program based on the percent of aid earned using the following formula:

Aid to be returned = (100% minus the percent earned) multiplied by the amount of aid disbursed toward institutional charges. If a student earned less aid than was disbursed, the institution would notify Title IV and the student would be responsible to pay it                               back to Title IV.

6. When Title IV funds are calculated, the student may owe a balance to the college.

Official Withdrawal

An Official Withdrawal occurs when the student notifies an instructor, financial aid director, and the registrar by completing the Withdrawal form. The date of the withdrawal will bre the date on the written notification.

Unofficial/Administrative Withdrawal

An Unofficial/Administrative Withdrawal occurs when the student fails to attend class for a two week period of time without contacting the instructor or for four weeks before the college’s last day to Withdraw. The last day of attendance will be the last day the student attended class.

Post Withdrawal 

It is the policy of Sisseton Wahpeton College to send all calculated Return to Title IV funds to the Department of Education for collection; this will determine the student’s eligibility for future Title IV funding, regardless of the institution.

Passed 12/14/2016

Sisseton Wahpeton College, in compliance with The Education Amendment of 1976, P.L. 94-482, 20 U.S.C. 1088 (f.), established these policies and procedures to ensure that students who receive federal financial aid are making satisfactory academic progress toward a degree, or certificate.  This policy applies to all periods of enrollment whether the student received federal aid during those periods or not. At the conclusion of each semester satisfactory academic progress will be evaluated for all students at SWC. Students who fail to meet these standards of satisfactory academic progress will not be eligible to receive federal financial assistance until eligibility has been re-established.

To be eligible to receive financial aid, students must meet the following minimum standards as established by the Sisseton Wahpeton College:

Qualitative Academic Standards:

A. Students classified as freshmen (30 credits or less) must maintain a semester grade point average of 1.5 or better (credits earned at another college that meet degree requirements are not included when calculating grade point average).

B. Students classified as sophomores (31 credits or more) must maintain a semester grade point average of 2.0 or better (credits earned at another college that meet degree requirements are not included when calculating grade point average).

Quantitative Standards:

A. Students must complete their program of study within 150% of the number of credit hours required for their program as indicated in the college catalog. This includes transfer, developmental, and repeat credits. For example: If a program of study requires you to complete 66 hours you will then be eligible to receive up to 150% or 99 credit hours to complete your program of study Enrolled hours must be in your degree or certificate program. If you do not meet the 150% program completion requirements you will no longer be eligible for Title IV financial aid at SWC. The semester credit hour limits indicated includes semester credit hours transferred from other colleges that apply to your degree and all semester credit hours attempted and/or earned at SWC for your degree or certificate program whether or not the student received financial assistance for the semester credit hours.

Pace of Progression Standards:

A. In an associate’s degree program students must successfully complete 45% of their required program credits during their freshman year and 55% during their sophomore year. In a certificate program, students must successfully complete 50% percent of their courses in the first half of their program and 50% in the last half of their program.

B, Students must successfully complete 2/3 (66%) of the semester credit hours attempted each term and cumulatively complete 2/3 of attempted credits throughout his or her academic career.

If a Title IV financial aid recipient fails to satisfy the standard of academic progress he/she will be placed on Financial Aid Warning during the next semester attended.

Financial Aid Warning: When on Financial Aid Warning students are eligible to receive Title IV financial aid.  While on Financial Aid Warning, if a financial aid recipient fails to satisfactorily complete each course attempted with an acceptable GPA and pace of progression, the recipient will be considered to be making unsatisfactory progress and will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension.

Financial Aid Suspension: Financial Aid Suspension means a student is not eligible for any federal financial aid or scholarships administered by SWC.

In order to regain satisfactory progress for not meeting the Satisfactory Academic Standards, a student must:

1. Satisfactorily complete a minimum of 6 credit hours at their expense of coursework with an acceptable GPA. During that semester the student is not eligible for financial aid. A student on Financial Aid Suspension cannot receive an I, F, or W (see p. 21 in the college catalog for description of these grade assignments) in any class for which they are registered.
2. A student who is placed on Financial Aid Suspension may appeal the cancellation of financial aid eligibility to the SWC Academic Standards Committee based on an unusual circumstance. The student must complete the Academic & Financial Aid Appeal Form which can be picked up in the Financial Aid Office. Students who file an appeal must do so prior to the start of any given semester. The appeal must state why the student did not meet the standards and what steps they will take to achieve their degree from Sisseton Wahpeton College. All appeals will be handled in a case-by-case fashion. If Academic Standards Committee approves a student’s appeal of his or her Financial Aid Suspension status, he or she will be placed on a Financial Aid Probation

Financial Aid Probation: This is the status if a student’s appeal of his or her Financial Aid Suspension status has been approved a student is eligible for federal aid.  Once on a Financial Aid Probation status, a student will remain on probation as long as he or she continues to meet the requirements of the appeal approval or until he or she has improved his or her statistics to meet the standards of satisfactory academic progress as outlined above.  In order to show continued improvement to meet the minimum standard or graduate from Sisseton Wahpeton College the Academic Standards Committee may determine the student must meet an Academic Plan. This plan can include, but is not limited to: What classes a student needs to take to complete his or her program of study and the time frame for the student to complete his or her program of study.  This plan can be produced by an advisor.

Repeated Coursework: All repeated coursework, including those graded with a W, I, or F, count towards the maximum attempted credit limit and the most recent grade earned counts towards the calculation of GPA. The cost for repeat courses will be covered as long as the student has never passed the course. If the student passes the course, one repetition can be included for aid, any second or subsequent repetition of the passed course will not be included. (A grade of “D” is considered passing for aid but not for SWC.)

Remedial Coursework: Remedial coursework is eligible for federal aid, is included in the 150% Program Completion calculation, but does not apply towards a degree or GPA calculations.   Enrollment in these courses will increase the number of attempted credits.

Transfer Credits: All undergraduate courses of “C” or better that count towards the degree at Sisseton Wahpeton College are accepted in and count towards the maximum attempted credit limit.

Change Degrees: Students who change majors, credits and grades that do not count toward the new major will not be included in the satisfactory progress determination.
