Section
15.1 SCCC Aviation Science Refund and Lab Fee Policy
The
college's refund policy takes precedence over Richmor's refund policy
and SCCC's catalog is made a part of this catalog for students enrolled
in the Schenectady County Community College
AS Degree Program.
As
mandated by law, first time recipients of Title IV financial aid
may be entitled to a refund according to Refund Schedule 1 for their
Aviation lab fee (See below). Returning students with Title IV or
students paying by other means will be subject to Refund Schedule
2.
In
order to be eligible for a refund, a student must withdraw from
the lab within the refund period. If a student withdraws after the
refund period, the student will have additional time as indicated
by the liaison for flight instruction purposes. If a student receives
a failing grade (as defined in the SCCC catalog) for the lab, the
student will be allowed to consume any remaining lab fee for a period
to be determined by the SCCC liaison. If the student does not consume
the funds during this period, the funds will be forfeit.

Students
who receive a Pell Grant
or a Student Loan need to be aware that if they withdraw from or
stop attending ALL classes prior to 60% of semester completion,
they will be required t repay a portion of the federal grants or
loans that they received. The student will be responsible to pay
all charges. It is extremely important for students to realize the
potential financial impact of withdrawing for ALL classes before
they stop attending.
If
a student exceeds the number of hours of instruction as outlined
in the Course Information Sheet, the cost of that additional instruction
will be the student's responsibility to pay. Use of any aircraft
other than those specified in the Course Information Sheet will
affect total cost as well.
Funds
remaining after the course is completed will be rolled over to the
next semester for the duration of the student's participation in
the program.
Section
15.2 Aircraft Substitution
Richmor
Aviation prices all courses based on aircraft equipment needs and
availability. Other aircraft may be substituted for listed aircraft
for reasons of availability, previous experience, and aircraft limitations.
Course prices are subject to change (increase or decease). Any additional
costs over and above the established laboratory fees that are incurred
are the responsibility of the student.
Section
15.3 Lab Fees
The
course lab fees do not guarantee any rating or certificate. Each
lab fee is for specified hours of dual and/or solo training. If
a student is required to take additional flight or ground instruction
to meet proficiency standards, he/she will be required to pay additional
hourly charges at the standard hourly rates established by agreement
between Richmor Aviation and SCCC. For specified hours allotted
for each course or current hourly aircraft rates, see the Course
Lab Outline provided by your instructor.
Section
15.4 Practical Test Time Allotment
Students
are allotted 2.0 hours of flight time for each FAA practical test.
Students who take additional time are required to pay for such time
at the standard hourly rate.
Section
15.5 Books and Aviation Supplies
Books
and supplies are not included in course lab fees. All books, supplies,
headsets, charts, and directories are a separate cost to a student.
Books and/or supplies can be charged against financial assistance
funds with the approval of SCCC's financial assistance office if
the student signs a form allowing SCCC to release additional funds
to Richmor. Unless the student specifically requests this release
using the appropriate channels, the cost of supplies will be incurred
separately.
Section
15.6 Advanced Credit
Advanced
credit for ground school and/or flight laboratory is provided on
an individual student basis. Any student requesting advanced credit
should contact Richmor Aviation prior to enrollment in any flight
course at SCCC. Students will be required to complete an application
for advanced credit and provide Richmor with their logbook and any
other documentation of flight or ground instruction.
The
Director and/or Assistant/Chief Flight Instructor will to determine
if any advanced credit is to be awarded toward his or her stated
objective by reviewing the student's logbook and any other documentation.
At the Director's discretion, the student will be required to complete
a written examination and/or a flight evaluation. Determination
of advanced credit will be subject to the same restrictions outlined
in Article II, Section 2.3 of this
catalog.
