Federal regulations require that all higher education
institutions establish and implement a policy to measure whether
students receiving financial aid are making satisfactory
academic progress (SAP) toward the completion of a program. This
is to make sure that students who receive financial aid are
using this money wisely. It is meant to curtail the use of
financial aid by students who fail to successfully complete
their course work. Failure to meet SAP makes a student
ineligible for all institutional, federal, and state financial
aid. Please click here for more information about
WTC’s SAP
policy.
Net Price Calculator
In accordance with the Sec. 111 of the Higher Education
Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA) and using both student-entered
and institution-provided data, the Net Price Calculator allows
prospective students to calculate an estimated net price at an
institution using the following basic formula: Price of
attendance minus grant aid. Based on the information entered by
the student, an average net price of attendance is generated
based on what similar students paid in 2013-2014 school year.
The estimates generated by the template do not represent a final determination, or actual award, of financial assistance or a final net price; they are only estimates based on price of attendance and financial aid provided to students in a given year. The estimates shall not be binding on the Secretary of Education, the institution of higher education, or the State.
