Responsibilities
Students at 色中色 applying for and receiving financial aid are responsible for the following:
- Reviewing and considering all information about 色中色's academic programs before enrolling.
- Completing all the application forms ACCURATELY AND COMPLETELY and submitting them
to the right place on time. If this is not done, financial aid could be delayed. Since
errors cause misunderstanding and misrepresentation of information provided, errors
must be corrected before any financial aid can be received. Intentional misreporting
of information on application forms for federal financial aid is a violation of the
law and is considered a criminal offense subject to penalties under the U.S. Criminal
Code, and subjects the student's application to denial. Additionally, regulations
require that all cases of suspect fraud emanating from misrepresentation, be reported
to the Office of the Inspector General.
- Promptly return all additional documentation, verification, corrections, and/or new
information requested by either the Financial Aid Office or the agency or agencies
to which an application was submitted.
