In keeping with Johnson & Wales’ core value of experience-based learning,the MAT program requires field-based experiences throughout the programto enhance student learning. Candidates apply research-based theories andbest practices learned in university courses when they spend time in K–12 oruniversity culinary classrooms each week. Teacher candidates observe, tutorand plan lessons for small-group and whole-class instruction, and reflect ontheir practice in light of 4 domains of professional teaching: 1) planning andpreparation, 2) the classroom environment, 3) instruction and 4) professionalresponsibilities. This professionally focused experience, under the guidanceof experienced teachers, enables candidates to develop their skills andknowledge so that they are ready to teach as soon as they secure their firstteaching position.
Assessment Prior to Student Teaching
Student teaching usually occurs during the candidate’s final term(s).Permission to student teach is granted to candidates who have
• achieved a program GPA of 3.0 or better;• passed the appropriate content exam for the concentration areas;• provided evidence of significant progress toward meeting the Rhode
Island Professional Teacher Standards (RIPTS) and all other designatedstandards related to their concentration; and

Sociology - BAThe Sociology bachelor's degree program develops in its graduates thesociological imagination: the ability to see connections between personalexperiences and public issues. As students apply the sociological perspectivewidely across the human world, from small-scale groups to internationalinstitutions, they learn that they are not only lifelong participants insocialization, but are affected by those agents of socialization as well.The Sociology program curriculum equips students to answer questionsabout contemporary cultures, cities and inequalities, such as: How do newtechnologies affect social lives and cultures? What are the benefits and risksas millions of people move from rural to urban lives? How do inequalitiesof class, race and gender reinforce or sometimes contradict each other?Graduates are prepared to address the challenges posed by our increasinglyglobal, diverse and urban world.
Upon completion of the program, graduates are expected to:
• Apply sociological theories and research methods to various social issues.• Develop a sociological imagination and use it to explain, in the language

114 Physician Assistant Studies - MSPAS
Physician Assistant Studies - MSPASThe Physician Assistant Program at Johnson and Wales University is a 24-month, 104-credit, full-time course of study. The program is offered at theuniversity’s Providence, Rhode Island, campus. One new class is enrolledeach year which begins in the summer graduate term. Upon successfulcompletion, a Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies is awarded.
The first 12 months of the program are devoted to preclinical studies, and theremaining 12 months to clinical experiences in primary care and medical andsurgical specialties.
The summer semester provides a foundation upon which the following falland spring body system modules are constructed. In Applied Anatomy, smallgroups of students dissect cadavers, view prosections and utilize virtualanatomy software to learn gross anatomic structures that are essential tothe understanding of medicine and the practice of general surgery. AppliedAnatomy is integrated with Patient Care I where techniques specific to theadult history and physical examination are taught; the anatomy of a bodysystem immediately precedes the lectures and practice labs where studentslearn the physical examination skills required to examine that same area ofthe body.
In Foundations of Medicine, students are introduced to the basics ofcell physiology and genetics that are essential to the understanding ofpathophysiologic mechanisms of disease and clinical medicine. A primer inmicrobiology prepares students for the study of infectious disease and thebasics of pharmacology are a prelude to courses in pharmacotherapeutics.
Three semesters of Professional and Health Policy Issues commences in thesummer with discussions ranging from the history of the PA profession, typesof healthcare settings, healthcare and public health policy to the expectationsof a medical workplace relative to ethical and professional behavior.
Fall and spring courses in Clinical Medicine, Diagnostic Skills andPharmacotherapeutics are integrated and presented in a modular format.Students work sequentially through each body system module, one at atime, learning the physiology, pathophysiology, evidence-based medicine,diagnostic skills and treatment specific to that system. In Patient Care,students learn the history and physical examination skills specific to the bodysystem being studied in that module. In weekly small-group meetings, theydevelop the critical thinking skills necessary to synthesize and apply themodule content to real patient cases. Seminars in the practice of humanisticmedicine will begin a life-long journey as a self-reflective and empathetic,patient-centered healthcare provider.
The second 12 months of the program commences with a two-weekIntroduction to Clinical Practice. Students learn skills they will apply duringtheir clinical rotations; they are taught phlebotomy and injection skills andhow to suture, knot-tie, perform surgical scrubbing and gowning and applysplints. Students then begin the first of their nine clinical rotations. Eachrotation is five weeks in length. These rotations will occur at off-campusclinical sites (hospitals, community health centers, medical offices, etc.) tobe developed by program faculty and administrators. The seven requiredrotations include Primary Care Medicine, Internal Medicine, PediatricMedicine, Women’s Health, Behavioral and Mental Health, EmergencyMedicine, and Surgery. There are two five-week electives that allow studentsto further develop skills in the area in which they plan to practice.
The Masters Course runs the length of the clinical year. It includes lecturesand discussions that prepare students for the Physician Assistant NationalCertification Examination, job searches and clinical practice. In the springsemester, this Master’s Course culminates with the summative evaluation thatensures the student possesses the knowledge, interpersonal skills, patientcare skills and professionalism required for entry into the profession.
Upon completion of the program, graduates are expected to:
• Work collaboratively as part of the health care team.• Develop rapport and an atmosphere of trust with patients and families by
providing patient centered humanistic care.• Accurately elicit a medical history and perform an appropriate physical
examination based on patient presentation.• Formulate an appropriate differential diagnosis based on the clinical
presentation.• Appropriately select and interpret common diagnostic studies based on
the clinical presentation.
• Diagnose acute and chronic medical, surgical and psychological disordersthrough the application of scientific medical principles and based onclinical presentation and diagnostic testing results for patients across thelifespan.
• Develop, implement and manage appropriate acute, chronic or ongoingtreatment plans including pharmacological and non-pharmacologicalapproaches, surgery, counseling, therapeutic procedures, rehabilitativetherapies, or other therapeutic modalities.
• Perform common laboratory studies and clinical procedures.• Initiate and recommend health promotion and disease prevention
measures such as disease screening, risk factor identification andeducation, diet and nutrition, and immunizations.
• Recommend and provide patient education and counseling for commonmedical and psychological illnesses, common medical procedures,therapeutic regimens, adherence, and health maintenance.
• Recognize when a problem is beyond the scope of the PA provider andrefer the patient to the supervising physician, appropriate specialists,and/or community resources.
• Effectively document medical information in a variety of formats.• Utilize effective interpersonal skills in written, oral, and electronic forms of
communication with patients, families, and other members of the healthcare team.
• Utilize and apply evidence based medicine principles and skills to guidedecision making in clinical practice.
• Demonstrate sensitivity regarding the emotional, cultural andsocioeconomic aspects of the patient, the patient’s condition, and thepatient’s family.
• Conduct themselves in a professional courteous manner and with thehighest ethical and legal standards expected of a health care professionaland consistent with the role and responsibilities of a physician assistant.
• Engage and employ lifelong learning skills through on-going self-reflection, active engagement, and professional development.

ILS2180 Sexuality: Science/Culture/LawSince 1950, there have been multiple revolutions in the way sexuality isconceptualized. In biology, evidence has mounted that sexual orientation isgenetically and physiologically hardwired rather than a choice or preference.Literature and popular culture have moved from portraying homosexualityas a joke to treating it as a serious topic of personal liberation. The law hasmoved from criminalizing homosexual acts to granting same-sex marriagelicenses. This course explores the links, or lack thereof, between thesedifferent developments.

In addition,these students will be required to attend mandatory study skills strategyseminars and tutoring in identified content areas. Failure to complete theserequirements will result in immediate dismissal.
AttendanceThe purpose of the university’s attendance policy is to help studentsdevelop a self-directed, professional attitude toward their studies and tomaximize their educational opportunities. Regular class attendance providesfundamental educational value and offers the most effective means to gaincommand of the course concepts and materials.
Students are expected to attend all classes, arrive on time and remain forthe entire class period, and report to class fully prepared with all requiredmaterials. To meet these expectations, students must arrange courseschedules that minimize conflicts with other commitments, includingpersonal commitments, work or participation in athletics or other university-sanctioned events. When students encounter difficulty meeting theserequirements, they must actively engage their faculty member to discuss theconcern.
Individual faculty define the specific role that class attendance plays in thecalculation of final grades for each course. Additionally, excessive absencesin certain courses may result in withdrawal from the course at the instructor’sdiscretion. Students should consult the course syllabus and course instructorfor specific faculty policies on attendance and make-up work within a course.
Students are expected to familiarize themselves with attendancerequirements outlined in the Student Handbook.
Credits and GradesDefinition of Credit HourAs of July 1, 2011, federal law (Title 34, Code of Federal Regulations, sections600.2 and 600.4) requires all accredited institutions to comply with the federaldefinition of the credit hour. Accordingly, for all Johnson & Wales Universitydegree programs and courses bearing academic credit, the “credit hour” isdefined as “the amount of work represented in intended learning outcomesand verified by evidence of student achievement that is an institutionallyestablished equivalency that reasonably approximates not less than:
1. 1 hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction and a minimum of 2hours of out-of-class student work each week for approximately 15 weeksfor 1 semester or trimester hour of credit, or 10 to 12 weeks for 1 quarterhour of credit, or the equivalent amount of work over a different amountof time; or
2. At least an equivalent amount of work as required in paragraph (1) of thisdefinition for other academic activities as established by the institution,including laboratory work, internships, practice, studio work, and otheracademic work leading to the award of credit hours.”
A credit hour is assumed to be a 50-minute period. In courses in which “seattime” does not apply, a credit hour may be measured by an equivalentamount of work, as demonstrated by student achievement.
Please see the appropriate section to review the respective grading system.

Full-time StatusFor the purposes of financial aid and verification of enrollment, a student isconsidered enrolled in the term/semester by the census date if they are inattendance by the second class meeting or, for online courses, by meetingthe first stated task deadline (e.g., posting an introduction in the DiscussionBoard).
Certification of full-, three-quarter-, half- or less-than-half-time enrollmentstatus for loan deferment, medical insurance, etc. is based on hours ofenrollment in a term/semester as of the census date. Listed below are therequirements that constitute full-time student status for official enrollmentcertification purposes and for financial assistance.

Students should realize that in order to receive maximum financial aidthey must maintain full-time status. Additionally, insurance companies andscholarship foundations frequently require students to maintain full-timestatus.
If a student who is receiving veteran’s benefits or participating in athleticsreceives a grade of W or NC in a course, that course will not count toward full-time status.
Note: Undergraduate students must maintain a minimum of 6.0 credits eachterm for purposes of financial aid only with the exception of the Federal PellGrant.
ReadmittanceIf an undergraduate student has previously attended the university, aReadmittance Request is only required if the student’s absence from theuniversity will be more than 4 consecutive terms (including summer).
Readmittance to undergraduate programs must be requested at least 6weeks prior to the desired term start date, and no earlier than
• summer term: February 1• fall term: March 1• winter term: September 1 • spring term: October 1
If a graduate student has previously attended the university, a ReadmittanceRequest is only required if the student’s absence from the university will bemore than 3 consecutive semesters (including summer).
• summer semester: February 1• fall semester: March 1• spring semester: October 1
Students approved for readmittance will be assessed the current tuition rateand are responsible for any changes to their program of study that may haveoccurred during their period of absence. If the break in enrollment exceeds1 year or more, the student's program of study may follow the requirementslisted in the current year catalog. A review of previously awarded transfercredit will also be conducted and may be adjusted. Students are responsiblefor reviewing additional readmittance criteria.
Readmission of Service MembersThe university complies with Readmission Requirements for Service Membersas outlined in the Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA). The HEOAprovides that an institution may not deny readmission to a service memberof the uniformed services for reasons relating to that service. In addition,a student who is readmitted under this section must be readmitted withthe same academic status the student had when they last attended theinstitution. Academic status is defined by a student’s grade level and whetheror not the student was in a degree/certificate or non-degree/certificateprogram at the time of separation.
This policy applies to service in the uniformed services, whether voluntaryor involuntary, on active duty in the Armed Forces, including service as amember of the National Guard or Reserve, for a period of more than 30 daysunder a call or order to active duty of more than 30 days. The university willreadmit such a student as long as the following conditions are met:
• The student gives advance notice (written or verbal) of the call to activeduty or, upon seeking readmission, submits a written verification thatsuch service was performed, requiring their absence.
• The absence from school for active duty does not exceed 5 years.• The student submits a notification of intent to re-enroll within 3 years
after the completion of service or within 2 years after recovery from anillness or injury incurred during the service.
• The separation from service was not dishonorable.
Tuition and FeesA returning student must be charged the same tuition and fees in effectduring the last academic year the student attended, unless veterans'education benefits or other service member education benefits will pay theamount in excess. For subsequent academic years, the returning student
may not be charged tuition and fees in excess of what other students in theprogram are charged.
Readmission RequirementsA returning student will be permitted to re-enroll in the next class(es)scheduled in the same academic program, unless the student requests alater date of re-enrollment or agrees to a different program. A returningstudent will be readmitted into the same academic program the studentwas enrolled in prior to the military service obligation. If the exact programno longer exists, the student must be admitted to the program that is mostsimilar, unless the student requests or agrees to admission to a differentprogram. Returning students will be re-enrolled with the same enrollmentstatus, number of completed credit hours and academic standing as the lastacademic year of attendance.
If the university determines that a returning student is not prepared toresume the program or is unable to complete the program, the universitymust make reasonable efforts to enable the student to resume or completethe program at no additional cost to the student. If such efforts areunsuccessful or place an undue hardship on the university, the university isnot required to readmit the student.
In accordance with federal regulations, returning students who receive adishonorable or bad conduct discharge from the Armed Forces (includingthe National Guard and Reserves) are not eligible for readmission under thispolicy. However, service members who receive dishonorable or bad conductdischarge may remain eligible for readmission even though they will not beentitled to the benefits outlined in this policy.
The returning student may be required to provide supportingdocumentation.
Repeat of CoursesWhen the appropriate course is available, the course may be repeated to earna better grade.* Upon successful completion of the course at a later date,the cumulative grade point average (GPA) is adjusted to reflect the highestgrade earned.** However, each grade earned will appear on the academictranscript and count toward attempted credits. Students are required topay any applicable tuition charges for all repeated coursework. Students areeligible for financial aid for only 1 repetition of a previously passed course.
* A W grade issued prior to June 2017 will still be included in the student's GPA after the samecourse is successfully completed.
** When a student has repeated a course previously applied to an awarded degree, each gradeearned will be included in the cumulative point average.
The above policy is not applicable to English as a Second LanguageCourses (ESL).
Course Deficiency
A course deficiency occurs when a student fails to complete a non-Englishas a Second Language course with a satisfactory grade, either by failing thecourse or by receiving a grade that does not meet the minimum required bythe student’s program. Academic warning, probation and dismissal are notdetermined from 1 course but by the cumulative GPA.
Students who fail a course after a second attempt will be assigned a coursedeficiency hold and will be required to meet with an academic counselor/adviser in Student Academic & Financial Services. Academic counselors/advisers will review the following options with the student:
• Consider a change of program.• Repeat the same course, which will result in only the highest grade

Placement TestingPlacement testing is used to place students into appropriate course levels anddetermine students' course schedule.
Although it is critical that students do their best, placement test results do notaffect the student's admission to the university. See the appropriate section toreview specific placement testing requirements.
Academic Support and Disability Accommodations Students with a documented disability requiring accommodations mustforward the appropriate documentation to the Center for AcademicSupport (p. 274) on their campus at least 2 weeks prior to scheduling aplacement test in order to ensure that accommodations can be provided.No accommodations will be allowed unless the required documentationis submitted prior to testing. Students who have already participatedin placement testing and submit appropriate documentation will have theopportunity to retest with the accommodations in place.
Undergraduate Mathematics and EnglishMathematics and English placement tests are required for all newundergraduate students, including transfer students, prior to orientation orattending classes. Transfer students may be exempt from mathematics andEnglish placement testing only if Johnson & Wales University has awardedthem transfer credit for both degree-specific, first-level mathematics andEnglish courses.
The university administers ACCUPLACER mathematics and English placementtests to assess students' skills in these areas. The mathematics test is designedto evaluate skills in relation to those required for college math courses.English placement testing includes a sentence skills test which evaluateswriting skills. The ACCUPLACER exams are computer based tests (CBT)developed by College Board.
All of these tests will result in placement into a course rather than in grades ofPass or Fail.
After acceptance, students will be emailed instructions for completingthe required mathematics and English placement testing online with avirtual proctor. Virtual proctoring allows students to take placement testsonline in a quiet and distraction-free location, such as home. Online testingappointments are available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, and require nosoftware installs. All that is needed is a simple webcam, access to the internetand a voucher code that will be provided by the university. There is no chargefor virtual proctoring or for the ACCUPLACER assessment. Students willreceive a score report immediately following ACCUPLACER administration,and will also be contacted by an academic counselor from Student Academic& Financial Services 1–2 weeks after they have completed placement testingto discuss their placement and course registration.
Students requesting to retake their placement exam may do so by contactingStudent Academic & Financial Services. Students will be allowed 1 retake 30days after their initial test at no charge.

264 Financing Your Degree
Financing Your DegreeThis section of the catalog contains information on tuition and fees, financialpolicies and obligations, financial aid and payment options. There is alsoinformation on loans, grants, scholarships and work programs for eligiblestudents depending on campus and degree program.
Academic ProgressSatisfactory Academic ProgressTo be eligible for financial aid, all students must satisfy Satisfactory AcademicProgress (SAP), which is required by federal law. SAP measures a student’scompletion of coursework toward a degree. JWU evaluates SAP at the endof each term/semester, including summer, for each student. Students whodo not meet all SAP criteria may lose their eligibility to receive all types offinancial aid (e.g., federal, state, private, institutional and other aid). Studentswill be notified of the decision both verbally and in writing.
Maximum Time Frame Criteria
Completion of undergraduate or graduate programs cannot exceed 150% ofthe published length of the program measured in credit hours attempted asdetermined by the student’s program requirements.
Pace Measure of Academic Progress Criteria
• Students must complete a specified percentage of all credit hoursattempted (see below).
• This percentage includes all credit hours attempted regardless ofwhether or not financial aid was received.
• This pace measurement is calculated by dividing the cumulative numberof hours that the student has successfully completed by the cumulativenumber of hours that the student has attempted.
• Credits attempted are defined as all classes for which a student receives agrade (D or better), or an F, I, W, WP, WF, NC, GP, S, U, PL, CX, NG, AU, etc.
• All transfer credit hours accepted from another institution toward thestudent’s educational program at JWU will be counted as both attemptedand completed hours.
• The student’s GPA and pace of completion are negatively impacted bycourse incompletes, withdrawals, failures or repetitions (incompletes,failures and withdrawals count in attempted credits, but not completed).
Grade Point Average Criteria
• All undergraduate and graduate students must maintain a minimumGrade Point Average (GPA).
• The student’s cumulative GPA for financial aid eligibility must becalculated on all grades received.
• All students, regardless of their enrollment status (e.g., full or part time),must meet the following minimum academic standards to remain eligiblefor financial aid.
Program Total CreditHours Attempted
MinimumCumulative Pace
MinimumCumulative GPA
Undergraduate 0–21 45% 1.00Undergraduate 21.1–42 50% 1.26Undergraduate 42.1–106.9 60% 1.50Undergraduate 107 or higher 67% 2.00Graduate 0 or higher 67% 2.00OccupationalTherapy Doctorate

Warning Period
Students who fail to meet SAP criteria will be placed on financial aid warningfor one academic term/semester and a hold will be placed on the student'srecord, which will prevent them from course registration for all future term/semesters. Students remain eligible for financial aid during the warning term/semester. If SAP criteria are not satisfied at the end of the warning term/semester, the student will be ineligible for financial aid. Students on warningmust meet with an academic counselor to clear the hold prior to course
registration, and/or to pursue an appeal. Students on warning must submittheir appeal and supporting documentation before the eighth week of thewarning term/semester.
Ineligible for Financial Aid Period
Students who fail to meet SAP criteria after the warning period are ineligiblefor financial aid. If the student does not have an approved appeal, the studentis no longer eligible for financial aid. Students may continue to take courseswithout financial aid to re-establish SAP standards; however, a paymentplan must be established for the tuition and applicable fees associated withthe course(s). Once a student is meeting JWU’s minimum SAP standards,the student may regain financial aid eligibility. Students who are interestedin reestablishing aid eligibility should meet with an academic counselorto determine what they would need to do to meet JWU's minimum SAPstandards.
Appeal Process/Probationary Period
If extenuating circumstances impacted successful adherence to SAP criteria,the student may pursue an appeal. The appeal will require the student toindicate why they did not make SAP and what has changed in the student’ssituation that will allow the student to demonstrate SAP by the next term/semester. Circumstances and required documentation are illustrated below.The appeal process begins with the student’s academic counselor in StudentAcademic Services. The student should be able to meet the SAP standardsby the end of the next term/semester; however based on the appeal, if thestudent requires more than 1 term/semester to meet progress standards, thestudent can be placed on probation and an appropriate academic plan willbe created for the student not to exceed two terms/semesters. If this planallows the student to meet SAP criteria, the counselor will present it to theappeals committee. Appeals must include complete documentation andare reviewed during the warning period; incomplete appeals will be denied.Appeal decisions are final. Students will be notified of the decision bothverbally and in writing. This notification will take place after final grades arereviewed for the warning period.
If an appeal is approved, the student will be placed on a FinancialAid Probation Period, which is a status assigned by JWU to a student who failsto make SAP and who has successfully appealed and has had eligibility forfinancial aid reinstated. To continue receiving financial aid, the student willneed to satisfy both the academic plan as outlined in their appeal and the SAPcriteria.

UndergraduateStudents who register for a course that is not required for their program ofstudy may experience an adjustment/reduction in financial aid. The universitycannot award financial aid for classes that do not count toward a student'sdegree requirements; therefore, a student's net tuition expense could behigher.
Federal Pell GrantThe Federal Pell Grant is a federally funded entitlement program to assistqualified undergraduate students with exceptional financial need. Eligibilityfor these grants is determined by the US Department of Education based onthe information provided on the FAFSA. Pell recipients can attend at less-than-half-time status and remain eligible for a portion of their Pell Grant.Students with a previous bachelor’s degree are not eligible for a Federal PellGrant.
The maximum, full-time Pell Grant award for the 2017–18 award year(July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018) was $5,920. The maximum Pell Grant awardcan change each award year and depends on program funding. Furtherinformation may be obtained from the US Department of Education.
The amount of Federal Pell Grant funds a student may receive over theirlifetime is limited by law to be the equivalent of 6 years of Pell Grant funding.Since the maximum amount of Pell Grant funding the student can receiveeach year is equal to 100%, the 6-year equivalent is 600%.
Campus-based financial aid programs, including the Federal SupplementalEducational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal Perkins Loan and FederalWork-Study programs, are administered by Johnson & Wales University.Students must annually apply for these programs through the filing of theFAFSA.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)This federally funded program provides financial assistance to qualifiedundergraduate students who demonstrate exceptional financial need.The amount Johnson & Wales University awards ranges from $100 up to a
maximum of approximately $250 per academic year and is based on financialneed and the availability of funds. Students with a previous bachelor’s degreeare not eligible for a Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant.
Federal Work-Study ProgramFederal Work-Study is a federally funded program that provides part-timeemployment to undergraduate students with financial need. Positions areavailable throughout the university and with selected off-campus communityservice agencies.
Work-study gives students the opportunity to earn money to help pay foreducational expenses. Students are paid an hourly rate for actual hoursworked. The amount earned cannot exceed the total work-study award.Work-study funds are paid biweekly directly to the student; therefore, fundswill not be applied to the student’s account unless arrangements are madewith Student Academic & Financial Services.
William D. Ford Federal Direct Subsidized LoanThis loan program provides loans to undergraduate students whodemonstrate financial need. First-time borrowers are required to completea Master Promissory Note and an entrance interview. Both of theserequirements can be completed online.
Students may borrow up to a maximum of $3,500 per academic year asfreshmen for the first year of undergraduate study, $4,500 for the secondyear as sophomores, and $5,500 per year for the third and fourth years asjuniors and seniors. The student must begin repayment 6 months after he/she leaves the university or drops below half-time status. The amount of thestudent’s monthly payment will be determined based upon the amount ofstudent debt and the length of the repayment period. Please contact theDirect Lending Student Loan Support Center at 1-800-557-7394 for moreinformation on repayment options. The average amount of loan debt for astudent completing a 4-year degree at Johnson & Wales University for FY2017 was $29,198.
For students who are first-time borrowers on or after July 1, 2013, there is alimit on the maximum period of time (measured in academic years) duringwhich they can receive Direct Subsidized loans. Students may not receiveDirect Subsidized loans for more than 150% of the published length of theirprogram, known as their "maximum eligibility period." For example, if astudent is enrolled in a 4-year bachelor's degree program, the maximumperiod for which the student can receive Direct Subsidized loan is 6 years,or 150% of the program length. For more information, please contact theFinancial Planning office.
William D. Ford Federal Direct Unsubsidized LoanLike the Direct Subsidized Loan program, this Direct Unsubsidized Loanprogram also offers loans to students. While most of the loan terms are thesame as the subsidized loan program, there are some major differences:
1. Students do not have to demonstrate financial need to receive a DirectUnsubsidized Loan.
2. The federal government does not pay interest on the borrower’s behalfwhile the borrower is enrolled in school.
During that time, the student borrower can choose between makingquarterly interest payments or “capitalizing” interest. “Capitalizing” interestmeans that the lender will add interest accrued to the principal balance. Thiswill eliminate the need for interest payments while in school, but will result ina larger principal amount owed upon repayment.
William D. Ford Federal Direct Parent Loan Program forUndergraduate Students (PLUS)The Direct PLUS Program provides loans to parents of dependent studentsto attend college. PLUS borrowers do not have to demonstrate need, butmust not have an adverse credit history. All students must complete the FreeApplication for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) if their parents plan to borrow aPLUS loan. The parent must also complete the Direct PLUS Master PromissoryNote (MPN); an MPN can be completed online. In addition, the parent mustindicate how much they want to borrow. Repayment of this loan will beginwithin 30 days of the time the loan is fully disbursed annually, or the borrowercan contact the Department of Education to request a deferment. Theborrowing limit is the total cost of attendance, minus any financial aid beingreceived.

The award processfor first-year students begins in November of each academic year. Renewal offinancial aid is not automatic. Recipients are required to reapply each year bythe announced deadline.
To be eligible for these programs, students must meet the following criteria:
For most programs, students must
1. Demonstrate financial need;2. Maintain satisfactory academic progress (financial aid will be suspended
until satisfactory academic progress is again achieved);3. Be enrolled in an eligible degree or certificate program;4. Be enrolled on at least a half-time (at least 6.0 quarter credit hours) basis

Return of Title IV Funds (Federal Aid)When a student withdraws (or becomes withdrawn) during a paymentperiod or period of enrollment, the amount of student financial aid programassistance earned is determined by a specific formula. If the student receives(or the university receives on the student’s behalf) less assistance than theamount earned, the student may be able to receive those additional funds.Students who received more assistance than what they earned must returnthe excess funds.
The amount of federal assistance earned is determined on a pro-rata basis.That is, if a student completes 30% of the payment period or period ofenrollment, the student earns 30% of the federal assistance the studentwas originally scheduled to receive. Once the student completes more than60% of the payment period or period of enrollment, the student earns allscheduled federal assistance.
The student’s loan monies (subsidized, unsubsidized and PLUS) must be onrecord with the Department of Education before the student's last day ofattendance in order for the money to be considered within the formula. Ifthe student is eligible for a post-withdrawal disbursement, a written noticewill be mailed requesting the consent of the borrower to post the funds tothe student’s account. The amount of institutional assistance earned is basedon the week that the student withdraws from the university and follows thepercentage the university credits the student’s charges.
If a student receives excess funds that must be returned, Johnson & WalesUniversity must return a portion of the excess, equal to the lesser of
• the student’s institutional charges multiplied by the unearnedpercentage of the student’s funds
• the entire amount of the excess funds
If the university is not required to return all excess funds, the student mustreturn the remaining amount. Any loan funds that the student must returnmust be repaid by the student (or the student's parents for a PLUS Loan) inaccordance with the terms of the promissory note.
If a student is responsible for returning grant funds, the student does nothave to return the full amount. Students are not required to return 50% ofthe grant assistance received that is the student’s responsibility to pay. Anyamount not returned is a grant overpayment and the student must makearrangements with the university or Department of Education to return thefunds.
Federal regulations establish the following allocation for students whoreceive Title IV, HEA program funds:
A refund owed to a student who received funds under any Title IV, HEAprogram will be returned to the Title IV, HEA programs from which thestudent received aid in the following order until the amounts received bythe student from these programs is eliminated: the Unsubsidized/SubsidizedDirect Loan, Parent PLUS Loan, Pell Grant, FSEOG program, all other sources ofaid, and the student.
