Reminders:

Absences – * Financial Aid students may have different guidelines, please see page 24 of Student Handbook for Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards for Federal Financial Aid.

For successful program completion, a student’s absences may not exceed 10 days per semester. Students starting after the first day of classes may have less than the ten days of allowed absences. A day is defined as the class period a student is enrolled each day. § A student who exceeds ten (10) days per semester and is passing their program will receive a “no grade” (NG). The student will be withdrawn from school. Students who violate the attendance policy will not be allowed to enroll for the following regular semester, including summer school, if the violation occurs during the spring semester.

Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards for Federal Financial Aid - Once the applicant begins attending an approved program and eligibility has been established, to continue to receive federal financial aid, the financial aid office is required by federal regulations to make certain that students are making satisfactory academic progress (SAP).

You are required to complete all hours in the pay period, maintain a “C” average and have 90% attendance per pay period. SAP will be checked by the financial aid office at the end of each pay period. You are required to complete all hours in your payment period to be eligible for your disbursements. If you have not completed the coursework your disbursement will be delayed and/or canceled.

The Moore Norman Technology District attendance policy states that “all” students may not miss more than ten (10) days per semester. Financial aid attendance policy is 90% per pay period. Students not maintaining 90% per pay period will lose financial aid eligibility.

VA Educational Benefits

Military Veterans’ Assistance

All students utilizing VA benefits must submit a current certificate of eligibility for VA programs and all prior transcripts/training records to be evaluated, whether or not advanced standing is awarded. No penalties or late fees will be assessed for VA students awaiting payment from the VA for students that have turned in a Certificate of Eligibility for VA Educational Benefits. Moore Norman Technology Center is compliant with PL 115-407, in regards to the Veterans Benefits and Transition Act of 2018.

If a student is called up to active duty during the semester, they may request an exempted leave of absence. If the active duty extends past MNTC exemption of absence period (refer to pg. 12 of the Student Handbook) the student will be withdrawn from the program. Financial Aid, and/or VA funds may need to be returned to their respective federal departments. The student, to include service members and reservists, may apply for re-admission and request advanced standing if applicable (will be determined by the instructor) when they return. Students will only be charged for work needed to complete the remaining portion of the program. VA beneficiaries could be in debt to the VA if they withdraw or are terminated early.

Veterans or qualified family members may use their VA Educational Benefits at MNTC while attending one of our VA approved courses. A list of all VA Approved courses are listed below.

Approved Programs for VA Educational benefits for 2022-2023 school year:
