(1) How Financial Aid is Awarded at JMU
Federal Title IV regulations require all students to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to apply for federal financial aid funds. JMU also uses this information to award state grant funds, as well as institutional funds such as the University Grant and certain scholarships.
The 2015-16 FAFSA priority filing date is March 1, 2015, so completing your FAFSA on-line can help you meet this important date. Missing the March 1st priority filing date can decrease your eligibility for financial aid in some cases.
You can submit the FAFSA to the federal processor via mail or FAFSA on the Web. Shortly after submitting your FAFSA the federal government will send you a Student Aid Report (SAR), which is a reprint of your completed FAFSA. You should carefully review the SAR and contact our office if any information is incorrect. Around the same time the SAR is sent to you, an electronic version is sent to JMU from the federal processor. This automatically occurs if you list JMU as a school you would like to attend when completing the FAFSA.
Upon receipt of the FAFSA information from the federal government, your eligibility for financial aid funds will be determined. At times, more information may be needed to make this determination. In that case, you will be contacted and the additional documentation will be requested. You may be selected for Verification (see Verification section later), which will require additional information to be submitted to our office before eligibility can be determined. Once the review is complete, you will receive a Financial Aid Award Notice informing you of your eligibility.
Financial aid eligibility is determined based on several factors, many of which are assumptions. If any of the assumptions used to make an award subsequently change, it is possible that the original financial aid award will change as well. A financial aid award is based on the following information (this is not an all-inclusive list):
¨ Full-time = 12 credit hours or more
¨ Three-quarter time = 9-11 credit hours
¨ Half-time = 6-8 credit hours
¨ Less than half-time = 1-5 credit hours
¨ Full-time = 9 credit hours or more
¨ Three-quarter time = Not applicable
¨ Half-time = 5-8 credit hours
¨ Less than half-time = 1-4 credit hours
These enrollment levels apply for financial aid eligibility in all semesters (i.e. summer, fall, and spring). This is important to note because there are times during the year when another office on campus may consider a student to be at a higher enrollment level than shown here. For example, in some cases the Registrar's Office may consider an undergraduate student enrolled in less than 12 hours during the summer semester to be full-time. However, for financial aid purposes, 12 hours is always the minimum number of credits for an undergraduate student to be considered full-time.
$12,000 (Cost of Attendance developed by the school)
- $3,000 (Expected Family Contribution from the FAFSA)
= $9,000 (Demonstrated Financial Need)
IMPORTANT! If any of the above information is incorrect, or changes, students are urged to contact the Financial Aid Office as soon as possible. The sooner the aid office learns of any changes, the sooner your financial aid eligibility can be reviewed. It's preferable to do this before financial aid or outside aid is credited to your student account. If it is done later, you may be asked to repay federal or state funds you have already received.
Some of the factors above are used by colleges to determine a Cost of Attendance (COA), which is the estimated cost for you to attend school during the award period. The COA is developed within the guidelines established in Section 472 of The Higher Education Amendments of 1992, as amended. The FAFSA information you provided generated an Expected Family Contribution (EFC). This is the amount of money the federal government feels you, and/or your family, can contribute to your education during the award year. This is only an estimate, and does not mean that you will pay that dollar amount.
School A:
$10,000 (Cost of Attendance developed by the school)
- $300 (Expected Family Contribution from the FAFSA)
= $9,700 (Demonstrated Financial Need)
School A will do what it can to help provide funds to pay for the $9,700 need figure, and in some instances the entire $10,000 figure. Keep in mind, most of the $10,000 figure is an estimate, not a direct school bill, and the $300 is an estimate of what the federal government "thinks" you can pay towards the $10,000 COA based on your FAFSA.
School B:
$5,000 (Cost of Attendance developed by the school)
- $300 (Expected Family Contribution from the FAFSA)
= $4,700 (Demonstrated Financial Need)
School B costs much less than School A. Note the EFC is the same regardless of which school you attend, which means your calculated "need" will also differ. This will be true in most cases. The difference in Cost of Attendance from one school to the next is one of the main reasons why you may see differences in a financial aid package between the schools…it's not the only reason, but it can be a big one.
Please contact the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships if you would like information on the Cost of Attendance at JMU.
(2) FAFSA Priority Filing Date
The 2015-16 FAFSA priority filing date is March 1, 2015, so completing your FAFSA on-line can help you meet this important date. Missing the March 1st priority filing date can decrease your eligibility for financial aid in some cases. Please do not miss the March 1st date because you and/or your parents are waiting to file your tax returns. The FAFSA provides an option to file it using estimated tax information. You can do this if you will not have your taxes done prior to March 1st. Then, once the taxes are completed, log back into your FAFSA and update it with your actual tax information. The exception to having to do this update is if JMU has requested you provide us with your tax information through the Verification process, in which case we will make the updates to the FAFSA on your behalf as we verify your FAFSA.
Meeting the March 1st priority filing date does not guarantee a higher aid package than if your FAFSA reaches the federal processor after this. Depending on how many students meet the March 1st date, it is possible there will not be enough money in some of the accounts to pay an award to all on-time eligible filers. Meeting the March 1st date simply increases your chances for certain types of aid that may not be available to those who apply later.
If your financial aid application (FAFSA) is chosen for verification, you may be asked to submit signed copies of your and/or your parents' Federal Income Tax return(s), W-2's or other needed documentation. Your financial aid will not be disbursed until the Verification process is complete. You will receive notification from our office if you have been selected for Verification.
The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships reserves the right to deactivate student records from financial aid processing due to a lack of response to a Verification request. Students and/or parents must reply to a Verification request within 60 calendar days of the date the request was sent to them, or by the Monday prior to the last day of classes (not final exams) if there were not 60 days left in the award period at the time the request was sent. For example, the end of the award period is the end of the spring semester for students enrolled in the fall and spring semesters and seeking aid for those semesters.
To be eligible for federal aid, a student must be a regular student as defined in section 600.2 of the General Provisions regulations. A regular student is defined as: "A person who is enrolled or accepted for enrollment at an institution for the purpose of obtaining a degree, certificate, or other recognized educational credential offered by that institution." Therefore, students are eligible to receive federal Title IV assistance for credit hours/course work which will not count towards the completion of that's degree program requirements.
Audited courses cannot be counted towards a student's enrollment level for financial aid purposes.
Please remember that financial aid offers from JMU are not automatically renewed from year-to-year. A FAFSA, or a Renewal FAFSA, must be submitted each year, preferably received by the federal government by the priority filing date of March 1st.
As explained in the How Financial Aid is Awarded at JMU section of this document, enrollment level plays a big role in determining a student's financial aid eligibility. Financial aid disbursements generally occur during the first week of each semester if all paperwork has been submitted in a timely fashion and the student is registered for the amount of hours used to determine financial aid eligibility. However, since students can drop courses during that first week, it is possible for aid eligibility to change after it has been disbursed. An example is provided below:
At the end of the add/drop period of each term an Enrollment Audit report is run. This report shows students who had aid disbursed for an enrollment level higher than their current level. Each student will be repackaged to see if this changes his/her eligibility. If so, aid will be adjusted accordingly. This could result in the student receiving a bill to repay previously disbursed financial aid funds. For this reason, it is suggested that students contact The Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships to discuss the possible impact of changing their enrollment level before adjusting their registration.
(8) Financial Aid, Disbursements, Your Bill, and Refunds
If you have been awarded financial aid prior to bills being mailed, the aid should show on the bill as a pending credit and you need only pay the amount due by the deadline date. No pending credit will show on the bill if you have not been awarded financial aid by the time bills are mailed. You will be responsible for satisfying the account by the due date.
You may choose to participate in the Installment Payment Plan, see the section later in this document for more details. Filing your FAFSA by the priority filing date of March 1st and responding promptly to all requests for additional information will allow adequate processing time to ensure that your financial aid will appear as a pending credit on your bill.
The total amount of your financial aid, as shown on your Financial Aid Award Notice, is generally credited to your bill in two installments (half in the fall semester and half in the spring semester). Grants, loans, and installment payments credited to your account will be applied to all outstanding tuition, room, and/or board charges before refunds are generated. You will be issued refunds if the credited financial aid is more than the charges, but only after the charges have been paid in full. Anticipated installment payments are not deducted from the account when determining refund amounts. Please contact our office if you have questions about when your aid will be processed. Outside scholarships will not be credited to a student's account until the check arrives at the university.
Not all students will be eligible for a refund. Your financial aid award will provide you with a means of obtaining funds up to the Cost of Attendance. If you choose not to participate in programs offered, you will then be responsible for satisfying your charges.
Financial aid disbursements generally occur during the first week of each semester if all paperwork has been submitted in a timely fashion and the student is registered for the amount of hours used to determine financial aid eligibility. Additionally, if you are expecting a refund, there are several factors that can delay the receipt of this money. Given this fact, always be prepared to cover your start up expenses, such as books and supplies, the first few weeks of each semester.
(9) Study Abroad/Consortium/Exchange
Federal and state financial aid funds are available to students enrolled in qualifying JMU study abroad, consortium programs, or exchange programs. Financial aid eligibility is generally determined the same way it is for a student studying on campus at JMU. The major difference in most cases is that your Cost of Attendance will be based on the anticipated expenses applicable to your study abroad or consortium program, which will be provided by the Office of International Programs or the host school.
Students in a study abroad do not need to contact the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships for special consideration. However, students in a consortium program must contact the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships to complete the paperwork required for processing their aid. In most cases, the increased costs associated with a study abroad or consortium program will generate additional loan eligibility, as federal and state grants are not increased based on participation in a study abroad or consortium program. Federal loan limits still apply.
Students who receive grants and scholarships that total more than the cost of tuition and books must report the excess as income on their tax return. Consult your tax booklet or an accountant for more information.
When you accept university awarded aid, you also give the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships permission to share pertinent records with donors or auditors as needed. At times, this sharing of information is necessary, but it is done so responsibly and within federal guidelines.
(12) Effects of Dropping and Withdrawing from Classes
A student's enrollment level is critical in determining eligibility for financial aid. In some instances, a change in enrollment level after a financial aid package has been awarded can lead to an adjustment to financial aid eligibility. You can learn more about the factors considered when awarding financial aid by going to Section 1: How Financial Aid is Awarded.
Students typically change their enrollment by dropping or withdrawing from classes. Before going any further, it is important to understand the difference between a dropped and withdrawn class:
Drops and withdrawals are treated very differently for the purposes of determining financial aid eligibility. The sections below will describe the different ways these actions will affect financial aid eligibility.
Dropping a Class(s)
Financial aid eligibility will always be reviewed whenever you drop a class. In some instances this means previously awarded aid will be reduced and/or canceled.
There are two exceptions to this rule.
See Section 17: Grants & Scholarships for specific details regarding the Federal Pell Grant as it relates to dropping classes.
Withdrawing From a Class(s)
All Aid Has Not Disbursed & Partial Withdrawal(s)
In some situations aid may need to be reduced and/or canceled based on the withdrawal(s). Please contact The Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships if you are withdrawing from a class(s) and all of your federal and state financial aid has not been disbursed for the semester. Depending on how many credits you are withdrawing from, the type of aid you have, and the status of your aid in processing, your financial aid could be affected in a variety of different ways.
One example of this impact follows:
See Section 17: Grants & Scholarships for specific details regarding the Federal Pell Grant as it relates to withdrawing from classes.
Even if your aid for the current semester is not be affected by the withdrawal, withdrawing too much can cause you to lose financial aid eligibility for future semesters. Please visit Section 15: Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) to learn more about the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy as it relates to this topic.
All Aid Already Disbursed & Partial Withdrawal(s)
If all of a student's federal and state financial aid has been disbursed for the semester, and the student subsequently withdraws from a course (or courses, as long as the student does not withdraw from all courses), there will be no impact on his aid for that semester.
An exception to this is if the student also received state grant money, which may need to be reduced if the University Business Office reduces the student's charges based on the withdrawal. Awards from certain state grant programs may not exceed the cost of tuition/fees and/or tuition/fees and books. Please visit the University Business Office if you have questions about charges for withdrawn classes.
See Section 17: Grants & Scholarships for specific details regarding the Federal Pell Grant as it relates to withdrawing from classes.
Even if your aid for the current semester is not be affected by the withdrawal, withdrawing too much can cause you to lose financial aid eligibility for future semesters. Please visit Section 15: Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) to learn more about the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy as it relates to this topic.
All Aid Already Disbursed & Complete Withdrawal
If you withdraw from the university, the University Business Office may adjust your charges based upon your withdrawal date and the JMU Refund Policy. For the university refund policy, please refer to the University Business Office. For information on the withdrawal process at JMU, please visit the Registrar's Office or the Office of the Dean of Students, as those are the two offices at JMU designated for processing student withdrawals.
Regardless of any adjustment to your charges, if you withdraw from the university, your financial aid may be adjusted based on the percentage of the semester you completed before withdrawing. In some cases, Federal Return of Title IV Funds (R2T4) regulations may require that aid be returned to the federal government for students who completely withdraw from JMU before 60% of a term (calendar days) has been completed. Financial aid is awarded for the entire term, which is generally a 15 week period. If you do not complete the entire 15 weeks, then the Return of Title IV Fund rules will determine how much financial aid has been earned, which is the amount you can keep. The unearned portion must be immediately returned to the federal government. In some situations, this may leave you with a balance owed to the university. Funds are returned to the federal government in the following order: Unsubsidized Direct Loan, Subsidized Direct Loan, Perkins Loan, Grad PLUS, Parent PLUS, Pell Grant, and SEOG (grant). Additionally, certain state grants are also subject to being reduced based on applicable state policies regarding grants and withdrawals.
The following is an example of what can happen when a student receives Federal Title IV Aid and withdraws from a semester. This example is based on a student, whom we will call Bob, in the Fall 2009 semester, which contains 101 calendar days (8/24/09-12/11/09 minus the Thanksgiving Break). The same rules apply to all award years:
JMU Charges:
Tuition $3,622.00 (in-state, full-time, undergraduate)
Room/Board $0 (student did not live on campus)
Total Charges $3,622.00
Financial aid: Amount: Date Disbursed:
Federal Pell Grant $2,675.00 8/25/09
Federal Subsidized Direct Loan $2,737.00 8/25/09
Total Financial Aid Disbursed: $5,412.00
The financial aid disbursed to Bob's account and paid all of his charges, leaving with him a $1,790.00 refund. This refund was deposited in his checking account via the Duke Dog Direct Deposit program on 8/28/10 and is designed to help him with living expenses associated with attending college (e.g. rent, food, books, etc.). This also means Bob's fall account is now at a $0 balance, as his charges were paid and a refund was given to him.
Bob became ill and contacted the Registrar's Office to begin the official withdrawal process to leave JMU on September 29, 2009. His withdrawal was approved on October 30, 2009. According to the Federal Return of Title IV Funds regulations September 29th is considered Bob's date of withdrawal since that is when he first made contact to begin the withdrawal process. This means Bob only completed 36.6% of the fall semester.
Date of Withdrawal:
Earned Aid:
Unearned Aid:
Amount of Unearned Charges:
All of this information is entered into Return of Title IV Funds formula provided by the U.S. Department of Education. The formula determines how much of the $5,412.00 Bob has "earned" based on his attendance and how much must be returned to the aid programs immediately. In Bob's case, the results of the calculation are as follows:
Aid Summary Based on 9/29/09 Date of Withdrawal:
Visit the University Business Office to learn more about how JMU charges are impacted by withdrawals.
Visit the Registrar's Office or the Office of the Dean of Students to learn more about the withdrawal process at JMU.
Additional information from the University Business Office, Registrar's Office, Office of the Dean of Students, and Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships can be found at the following:
(13) Effect of Receiving All "F" Grades in a Term
Students who receive all "F" grades, or a combination of F, W, WP, and/or WF grades, in their classes for a given term are subject to the same Return of Title IV Funds (R2T4) regulations as students who withdraw from all of their courses. These regulations apply to all federal aid programs, state grant programs (VGAP and Commonwealth Award), In-State University Grants, JMU Grants, and JMU Purple & Gold Scholarships. See the Return of Title IV Funds section for more details about this. If these grades were received as a result of the student not completing the term, R2T4 will be invoked. If the grades were earned, meaning the student completed the entire term and simply earned "F" grades, then R2T4 will not be invoked.
When JMU instructors input an "F" grade into MyMadison they must assign a "reason" code for the F. The Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships utilizes this code to determine the reason why a student received that grade, as well as the to secure the last date of attendance when applicable. The process of searching for these grades and the associated reasons occurs after final grades are due at the end of each term. The "F" reason codes do not appear on a student's transcript, but are housed in the university system for the purposes of determining financial aid eligibility. The codes are:
A student reported last date of attendance cannot be used as an official last date of attendance. Refer to the Federal Pell Grant and Federal Direct Loan sections later in this document for information on how "F" grades received for never attending a class can affect eligibility after a term has ended.
(14) Effects of Repeating Classes
Federal regulations limit the number of times undergraduate students can receive financial aid for repeating coursework. The general rule is students may only receive financial aid for repeating a course one time after previously passing the same class with a grade of "D" or better.
Consider the following example.
In this example, if the student registered for 12 credit hours for fall 2016 and three of those credits represented an ineligible repeated course, then the student's financial aid eligibility would be based on nine credit hours for that term. This is true regardless of the reason (want or need) for repeating the course.
Additionally, eligibility for the first two attempts (fall 2015 and spring 2016) is contingent on the student meeting all of the other general eligibility requirements for financial aid. This rule applies to undergraduate students only.
(15) Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
All students must meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) requirements to receive financial aid at James Madison University. Federal regulations require each institution to have a SAP policy, which establishes the minimum standards that must be applied consistently to all students. You will be denied financial aid if you fail to meet SAP requirements. If extenuating circumstances led to your noncompliance, you may submit an appeal to the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships for consideration. Our policy is designed to encourage students to improve their academic performance.
A copy of JMU's Satisfactory Academic Progress policies governing undergraduate and graduate student financial aid can be found under the Forms section of our website.
Note: Some financial aid programs (e.g., Virginia Guaranteed Assistance Program) have more stringent requirements than described in this policy. Contact the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships if you have questions.
Federal Work-Study
The Federal Work-Study Program (FWS) is aid offered to students who have a remaining need, as determined by the FAFSA, after all other need-based aid has been awarded. Work-Study gives you the potential to work and earn money while attending college. If you were offered Work-Study you are eligible to apply for a federal Work-Study job. Available positions are advertised in the Job Announcements section of the student employment web page. The employment you may receive through this program is dependent on your job skills, class schedule and the available positions.
Work-Study students are paid bi-weekly. You can only receive payment for the hours you have worked. For example, if your Work-Study award for the fall semester is $1,015.00, you will not receive a check for $1,015.00. You must work to earn those dollars, and then you will only be paid for the amount of hours you work. It is possible that you will work enough to earn the entire $1,015.00, but it's also possible that you will not. Your position and supervisor will determine the hours you work. Work-Study wages earned will not be credited to a student's account.
Work-Study is part-time employment. Students work part-time hours and receive a paycheck for the hours worked. However, it differs from regular part-time employment. If your employment is on campus, your supervisor is more likely to be understanding of the fact that you are a student first, where part-time employers not associated with JMU may not be as flexible. Some non-JMU part-time jobs are very flexible, but as a general rule of thumb, a JMU employer will be more understanding of your student responsibilities. Another benefit is that the amount of money you earn in a Work-Study job this year does not count as income when you file your FAFSA next year. This can help to lower your EFC next year, and potentially make you eligible for additional grant funds that you may not have received if you worked in a non-Work-Study job this year.
If you do not have a Work-Study offer on your Financial Aid Award Notice, but you are interested in this, please contact our office. In some cases, it may be possible to reduce your need-based loans to create eligibility for Work-Study. Please note that being eligible for Work-Study employment does not mean that you have to limit your job to Work-Study funded positions only. You might also want to consider Institutional Employment positions as well (see below for information on Institutional Employment jobs).
Institutional Employment
The Institutional Employment Program is designed to assist students in securing on-campus employment regardless of their financial aid eligibility. There are approximately 2,000 students per year working in institutional employment jobs on campus. This is not a financial aid program, as students do not need to complete a FAFSA to qualify for Institutional Employment.
Off Campus Employment
In some cases is may be more beneficial for a student to work off-campus than on-campus via Work-Study or Institutional Employment. Off-campus employment opportunities often provide students with the ability to gain real-world experiences that will not only increase self-knowledge, but develop marketable skills that will provide a solid foundation for securing career options beyond graduation. Wages may also be higher for off-campus employment than through Work-Study or Institutional Employment. Just like Institutional Employment, this is not a financial aid program, as students do not need to complete a FAFSA to qualify for most off-campus jobs.
Federal and state grants are awarded to students based upon factors such as "need" as determined by the FAFSA, the priority filing date, and availability of funds. The only form you need to complete to apply for federal and state grants at JMU is the FAFSA. We will award the maximum grants for which you qualify based on this application. Due to the fact that state grant funds are limited, filing by the priority date will increase the probability of receiving grant funds. Students must also meet the minimum Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) http://www.jmu.edu/finaid/sap.shtml standards to receive any federal and/or state grants.
Pell Grant
Federal Pell Grants are undergraduate grant funds from the federal government that do not need to be repaid. This award may be renewed, but not automatically, each year based on your FAFSA eligibility. Students working on their first bachelor's degree with an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) below $5,199 (this is the 2015-16 EFC and is subject to change each school year), and who are meeting the general eligibility requirements for Title IV financial aid may be considered for this grant. Students must begin attendance in all the classes for which they received Pell to establish eligibility. If, at the end of a term a professor reports a student received an "F" grade and never attended that particular class, then the student's Pell eligibility will be reevaluated. In some cases, this could mean a reduction to the Pell Grant after the term is over. Additionally, increasing enrollment after the last regular (first block) add/drop date during each term will not increase a student's Pell Grant eligibility. For example, the last regular (first block) add/drop date for Fall 2015 is 9/8/15. If a student is less than full-time at that point then the Pell award will be based on that enrollment. Adding classes during the fall term after 9/8/15 will not increase Pell eligibility; this includes adding classes during the second block.
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
This federal undergraduate grant may be renewed, but it is not automatically renewed. An FSEOG does not have to be repaid. Awards will be made to undergraduate students pursuing their first bachelor's degree with a $0 EFC prior to any other student group. Out-of-state students in this category will receive an award up to $2,000 for the academic year, and in-state students will receive up to $500 for the academic year.
Funds are limited in this account, so awards will be made as long as funds remain available. Once funds have been depleted, no other awards will be made. If there are additional funds remaining after the $0 EFC students have been awarded, then The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships will make awards to eligible students in order of lowest EFC, beginning with $1 EFC and moving up until all funds have been awarded.
Virginia Guaranteed Assistance Program (VGAP)
VGAP is an undergraduate state grant may be renewed, but it is not automatically renewed. To remain eligible for this state grant, you must be a Virginia resident, be pursuing your first bachelor's degree, maintain continuous full-time enrollment in the fall and spring semesters, keep a 2.0 cumulative GPA, pass at least 24 hours each year, have an EFC less than $9,501, and meet the general eligibility requirements for aid as defined by the State Council of Higher Education of Virginia (SCHEV). This award is a grant that does not have to be repaid, but you may not receive it for more than eight semesters. Meeting the March 1st FAFSA priority filing date is also a critical component of determining a student's eligibility for this grant. Funds are limited in this account, so awards will be made as long as funds remain available. A student may not simultaneously receive VGAP and the Commonwealth Award. Students may not receive a VGAP award, when combined with other tuition/fee only assistance (e.g., tuition waiver, tuition scholarship, or employer tuition reimbursement), which exceeds the student's charges for tuition/fees and the standard book allowance in the financial aid Cost of Attendance. The fees portion of the "tuition/fee" figure includes the basic required fees included in tuition, not additional course fees. Therefore, if a student is awarded VGAP and then receives another tuition/fee only award, the VGAP will be canceled or prorated accordingly.
If, at the end of a term a professor reports a student received an "F" grade and never attended that particular class, then the student's VGAP eligibility will be reevaluated. In some cases, this could mean a reduction to the grant after the term is over. This rule also applies to the University Grant In-State award, which is used at times when VGAP funds have been depleted.
Transfer students wishing to be considered for VGAP must contact the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships.
Commonwealth Award
The Commonwealth Award state grant may be renewed, but it is not automatically renewed. This award is a grant, which does not have to be repaid. Meeting the March 1st FAFSA priority filing date, being a Virginia resident, and having an EFC less than $9,501 are also critical components of determining a student's eligibility for this grant. Priority is given to undergraduate students who are pursuing their first bachelor's degree. Funds are limited in this account, so awards will be made as long as funds remain available. A student may not simultaneously receive VGAP and the Commonwealth Award. Students may not receive a Commonwealth Award, when combined with other tuition/fee only assistance (e.g., tuition waiver, tuition scholarship, or employer tuition reimbursement), which exceeds the student's charges for tuition/fees. The fees portion of the "tuition/fee" figure includes the basic required fees included in tuition, not additional course fees. Therefore, if a student is awarded Commonwealth Award and then receives another tuition/fee only award, the Commonwealth Award will be canceled or prorated accordingly.
If, at the end of a term a professor reports a student received an "F" grade and never attended that particular class, then the student's Commonwealth Award eligibility will be reevaluated. In some cases, this could mean a reduction to the grant after the term is over. This rule also applies to the JMU Grant and Purple & Gold Scholarship, which are used at times when Commonwealth Award funds have been depleted.
University Grant
This institutional grant program is primarily available to in-state undergraduate students. The awarding criteria is subject to change during the year based on the needs of the student body. The FAFSA is used to determine each student's need level and grants are awarded accordingly. Funds may be used for any qualifying educationally related expenses.
If funds are available, grants may also be awarded on the basis of Professional Judgment (PJ) decisions made by staff of The Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships. These PJ decisions may be made upon receipt and review of a written appeal from a student regarding special circumstances not explained on the FAFSA. However, priority consideration in awarding these funds will be given to students who meet the basic awarding criteria. Awards will be made as long as funds remain available.
Out-of-State Grants
Out of state students are encouraged to contact the higher education agency within their home state to inquire about grants to attend a college or university outside that state. The U.S. Department of Education provides a website for locating each State Higher Education Agency.
There are many different scholarships you can apply for, both institutional and private. The application procedures for these can vary. Further information regarding scholarships offered at JMU can be found on our website.
If you are receiving a scholarship (JMU or non-JMU), please submit the Supplemental Information Sheet from on our website. Federal and state regulations require us to consider outside sources of financial assistance when awarding aid. If your financial aid package on MyMadison does not list any scholarships, then we were not aware of any. The addition of scholarships later may cause a reduction to be made to an existing financial aid award. This is called an "overaward." Scholarship checks received with no instructions on which term they should be applied will be applied to the term in which they are received.
Federal Perkins Loan
A Federal Perkins Loan has a fixed interest rate of 5%. Interest does not accrue on the Perkins until nine months after you graduate, leave school or drop below half-time status. In contrast, interest on the Subsidized Direct Loan begins to accrue after six months. Each year you receive a Perkins Loan, you must complete a "Rights and Responsibilities" statement and "Entrance Questionnaire." These forms are available for downloading from our website. Each form must have your original signature. You must submit the required paperwork for your loan(s) within 30 days of the date of the Financial Aid Award Notice. We cannot guarantee the availability of loan funds for students who submit information after this period. Before we release your loan, the University Business Office will contact you to complete a promissory note.
Perkins Loan funds are limited, so if you are offered a Perkins Loan and wish to accept, please do so quickly. Awards will be made (as long as funds are available) to undergraduate students deemed "exceptionally needy" by having an EFC below $9,501, a cumulative G.P.A greater than 1.99, and who have "remaining need" in their package for such an award.
Direct Loans
Your initial Financial Aid Award Notice indicates your maximum Federal Direct Loan and Parent PLUS Direct Loan eligibility for the academic year. Your eligibility for a loan is determined from the results of your FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA, in addition to other factors that are described in the How Financial Aid is Awarded section of this document. You may always request less in a loan than the amount offered to you on the award notice, but you may not request more.
It is important to note that any Direct Loan must be originated (i.e., processed from JMU to the government) during the period of enrollment to be valid. For example, we cannot originate a loan with the Department of Education after the last day of enrollment for a term. Also, students must begin attendance in at least a half-time course load of the classes for which they received Direct Loans to establish eligibility. If, at the end of a term, the student receives all "F" grades with a "never attended" designation from the professors to show the student never began enrollment, then the Direct Loans for that term will be canceled.
Subsidized Federal Direct Loan
Subsidized Federal Direct Loans are long-term, need-based loans available to students enrolled for at least a half-time basis in a degree or teacher certificate program. The federal government pays the interest on these loans while the borrower is in school, during the borrower's grace period and during authorized periods of deferment. Repayment begins six months after you drop below half time enrollment, which is graduation for most students. The basic repayment period for a Direct Loan is ten years; however, in some cases you can extend this. You will need to contact the Direct Loan Servicing center to discuss extending a ten year repayment period.
Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loan
Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loans are long-term, non need-based loans available to students enrolled for at least a half-time basis in a degree or certificate program. Students who don't qualify for the need-based Subsidized Direct Loan often qualify for this type of loan. Additionally, students who are classified as independent by the FAFSA may be eligible for Unsubsidized Direct Loan funds in excess of the standard annual loan eligibility. For example, a dependent freshman is eligible for no more than $5,500.00 in Direct Loan funds during the school year; these can be partially subsidized and unsubsidized or all unsubsidized. However, an independent freshman is eligible for an additional $4,000.00 Unsubsidized Direct Loan each year. Dependent students whose parents are denied a Parent PLUS Direct Loan may also be eligible for the additional Unsubsidized Loan funds.
Although these loans are not based on financial need, you must complete a FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA to determine your eligibility. The terms for Unsubsidized Direct Loans are the same as the terms for subsidized loans, except the federal government does not pay the interest while the student is in school, during the grace period, or during authorized periods of deferment. You are responsible for paying the interest during these periods. If you opt not to pay the interest, then it will be capitalized, or added back into the principal of your loan.
Federal Parent PLUS Direct Loan
Parents of students who are classified as dependent by the FAFSA can apply for the Federal Parent PLUS Direct Loan. Financial need is not a requirement; however, the student for whom the Parent PLUS Direct Loan is borrowed must be enrolled on at least a half-time basis and making Satisfactory Academic Progress in a degree or teacher certificate program. A FAFSA must also be filed in order for a parent to apply for a Parent PLUS Direct Loan. The maximum amount a parent may apply for is equal to the student's cost of attendance minus any other financial aid received. Parents are not guaranteed these funds upon application. The government will perform a credit check on the parent, and if the parent is not deemed "credit worthy" the loan will be denied. If the loan is denied, then the student can apply for additional Unsubsidized Direct Loan funds, as described above.
To apply for a Parent PLUS Direct Loan, follow the instructions listed in the Financial Aid Award Notice. A Parent PLUS Direct Loan Application and promissory note will need to be submitted.
Federal Grad PLUS Direct Loan
Graduate students are eligible to borrow under the Federal PLUS Direct Loan Program. This loan is called the Grad PLUS Direct Loan. Terms and conditions applicable to this loan include the following:
Direct Loan Application Process
First Time Borrowers
Students applying for a Direct Loan for the first time at JMU need to complete the following documents:
Returning Borrowers
Students who are applying for a subsequent Direct Loan at JMU only need to do the following:
Parent PLUS Direct Loan Application Process
First Time Borrowers
A parent applying for a Parent PLUS Direct Loan for the first time for a particular student at JMU needs to complete the following documents (Instructions to parents for doing this will be contained on the Parent PLUS Direct Loan Financial Aid Award Notice):
It is important to note that Parent PLUS Direct Loans are applicable to the parent and student for whom the parent is borrowing the money. If the parent has more than one student at JMU and would like to borrow a Parent PLUS Direct Loan for each student, then a separate FAFSA, Loan Application, and Master Promissory Note will need to be submitted for each student.
Returning Borrowers
A parent applying for a subsequent Parent PLUS Direct Loan at JMU needs to do the following (Instructions to parents for doing this will be contained on the Parent PLUS Direct Loan Financial Aid Award Notice):
Grad PLUS Direct Loan Application Process
First Time Borrowers
A student applying for a Grad PLUS Direct Loan for the first time at JMU needs to complete the following documents:
1. FAFSA. If your student received a Financial Aid Award Notice, then you already completed the FAFSA.
2. Grad PLUS Direct Loan Application
3. Grad PLUS Direct Loan Master Promissory Note
Returning Borrowers
A student applying for a subsequent Grad PLUS Direct Loan at JMU only needs to do the following:
2. Grad PLUS Direct Loan Application
Direct Loan/Grad PLUS/Parent PLUS Acknowledgements
Students will receive a Notice of Loan Disclosure from the Department of Education prior the disbursement of a Subsidized/Unsubsidized Direct Loan or Grad PLUS Direct Loan. Likewise, parents will receive a similar notice regarding the Parent PLUS Direct Loan. The University Business Office will notify the student by electronic mail when the loan funds have been credited to the student account each semester. Students have 14 days from the time a Direct Loan or Grad PLUS Direct Loan has been credited to request it to be cancelled. Parents have 14 days from the time a Parent PLUS Direct Loan has been credited to request it to be cancelled.
Direct Loan/Grad PLUS Direct Loan/Parent PLUS Direct Loan Disbursements
Most students apply for a Direct Loan in the fall to cover expenses during the fall and spring terms. Under the terms of this loan, half of the loan is disbursed in the fall and half is disbursed in the spring. Loans that are applied for to cover expenses for one term only are generally disbursed in one installment (e.g., a fall only loan).
See the Financial Aid, Disbursements, Your Bill, and Refunds section of this document for information on financial aid disbursements.
Direct Loan/Grad PLUS Direct Loan/Parent PLUS Direct Loan Origination Fees and Interest Rates
All Grad PLUS Direct Loans, Parent PLUS Direct Loans and Direct Loans are subject to fees, which the government takes out of the loan before it is sent to JMU. For subsidized and unsubsidized loans disbursed after October 1, 2014 and before October 1, 2015, the net fee is 1.073% of the gross loan amount. For Grad PLUS Direct Loans and Parent PLUS Direct Loans the fee is 4.292% of the gross loan amount. For example, if you are awarded a Parent PLUS Direct Loan for $6,000.00 this academic year, you will receive $5,743.00 when your loan is credited to your account. However, you will repay the full $6,000.00.
The interest rate for Direct Loans is set on an award year basis. The award year is July 1st – June 30th. The rate on all new loans is subject to change the following July 1st. All loans disbursed during this period carry that rate, which is fixed over the life of the loan. For example:
Refer to www.jmu.edu/finaid for the current interest rate. You can learn more about this aid program at http://www.jmu.edu/finaid/aidprog.shtml.
Direct Loan Annual (yearly) Limits
The federal government has set a maximum on how much Direct Loan money a student can receive during an award year. An award at JMU consists of the summer, fall, and spring terms, in that order. The amounts below are the federal mandated maximums. It is important to note that not all students within the prescribed grade levels will be eligible for the maximum amount, as there are many other factors that go into determining a student's eligibility.
Dependent (as defined by FAFSA criteria) undergraduate student annual limits for the school year are:
Independent (as defined by FAFSA criteria) undergraduate student annual limits are:
Graduate student annual limits are:
Students will be considered for graduate Direct Loan limit for aid when the following occurs:
Graduate students who are admitted into the graduate program, but are required to complete prerequisite courses are not eligible for graduate level Direct Loans during the term(s) in which they are taking prerequisite courses. For example:
Graduate level courses all carry a Catalog designation number of at least 500.
It is important to note that the enrollment status used to determine financial aid eligibility for all students is the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships' definition. For example, in some cases, other areas of JMU may consider a graduate student at a half-time or greater status with a semester enrollment of less than five credits; however, five credits per term is always the minimum half-time enrollment level for financial aid purposes. Another example is in summer school where a department may consider an undergraduate student taking less than 12 credits in the summer term as full-time, but for financial aid purposes 12 credits is always the minimum number of credits in a term for an undergraduate student to be considered full-time.
Direct Loan Aggregate (lifetime) Limits
The U.S. Department of Education has established aggregate loan limits for students borrowing from the Direct Loan programs. A dependent undergraduate student can borrow no more than $31,000 in Direct Loans, with no more than $23,000 of that being subsidized. An independent undergraduate student can borrow no more than $57,500 in Direct Loans, with no more than $23,000 of that being subsidized. A dependent undergraduate with parents who are not eligible for a Parent PLUS Direct Loan holds the same loan limits as an independent undergraduate student. A graduate student can borrow no more than $138,500 in Direct Loans, with no more than $65,500 being subsidized taken out in terms prior to Summer 2012, when graduate students are longer eligible for subsidized loans.
For more detailed information, please contact our office or visit our web site to view more Federal Direct Loan information. You can review your aggregate loan limits by accessing the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS).
Direct Loan and Grad PLUS Direct Loan Exit Loan Counseling
You will be asked to complete Loan Exit Counseling upon your departure from JMU, which is typically graduation, if you had a Direct Loan or a Grad PLUS Direct Loan. Information regarding Loan Exit Counseling will be sent to you from the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships at the appropriate time. However, if you do not receive this information during your last semester at JMU, it is your responsibility to contact this office and request it.
Direct Loan Repayment
There are several options available for Direct Loan repayment. Reviewing the Loan Repayment website will explain many of them. Please contact the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarships or Direct Loan Borrower Services if you have any questions about this information.
(19) Private/Alternative Loans
JMU provides an Alternative Loan comparison chart (Lender List) on our website. The information contained on the chart is accurate as of the date it was collected. Because these are private loans, lenders can change the terms and conditions of these loans without notifying JMU. Therefore, we suggest prospective borrowers verify this information with any lender on the chart prior to applying for a loan with that company. It should be noted that borrowers are not required to use lenders on this chart. This is merely a tool to help borrowers begin their research, but JMU will certify loans from any private educational loan lender (within the applicable rules and regulations) Federal regulations require private educational loan borrowers have to complete a Private Educational Loan Applicant Self-Certification document in order to receive a private loan. Private loan eligibility is generally limited to the following formula.
Cost of Attendance (-) Minus other aid offered (=) Equals private loan eligibility
You can find the Private/Alternative Loan Lender Policy on our website. This policy explains how the lender list was complied.
Lastly, private educational loan debt can be very expensive as these loans are not governed by the same rules and regulations that are applicable to federal student loans (i.e., Direct Loans and Perkins Loans). The interest rate, repayment period, fee structure, deferment/forbearance rules, loan forgiveness rules, consolidation options, and many other features differ from the federal student loan programs. In most cases, private loans will be more expensive than federal loans for borrowers over the life. Therefore, we encourage students and parents considering this option to do so very carefully before making the decision to apply for one of these loans.
(20) Payment of Fees and Statements
All fees during the fall and spring semesters are to be paid by the Friday of the first week of the term. Contact the University Business Office on-line or at 540-568-6505 for more details.
All statements are online. Initial fall statements will be posted the first of August and are due the first week of the term. Initial spring statements will be posted the middle of December and are due the Friday of the first week of the term. Students should view Current Account Activity for a balance due through M3. Students and authorized users will receive an email when the student's statement is available for viewing online. Students can access their statement by going to M3 and clicking the "M3 – My Student Account" link, under Finances. Authorized users can log in to view the statement at M3. All financial aid that has been accepted prior to the statement posting should show as a pending credit on your statement.
If you have not been awarded financial aid by the time the statements are posted, no pending credit will show on the statement and you will be responsible for paying the entire balance due by the payment deadline date.
An installment plan is available through M3 to pay for all student account charges. Anticipated financial aid should be deducted from the tuition, room and board fees to determine the appropriate amount to budget. Please refer to the University Business Office website for details and deadlines on establishing an Installment Payment Plan.
Grants, loans, and installment payments credited to your account will be applied to all outstanding tuition, room, or board charges before refunds are generated. You will be issued refunds if the credited financial aid is more than the charges, but only after the charges have been paid in full. Anticipated installment payments are not deducted from the account when determining refund amounts.
Any unpaid balance must be resolved before refunds are processed. If the refund is used to resolve the unpaid balance, additional processing time will be required. Student refunds are processed through HigherOne. There are three refunding options available, contact the University Business Office for further information.

Early voting ends today
by Sarah Fay Campbell
Today is the last day of early voting for the July 22 runoff.
Early voting is held at the Coweta Voter Registration Office, at 22 East Broad Street in downtown Newnan. Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. You must bring a photo ID to vote early, as well as at the polling places.
Those who show up on election day with a proper ID can vote a provisional ballot. They then have 48 hours to submit identification to the voter registration office, or the vote won't count. There's no provisional ballot option when you are early voting.
Acceptable photo IDs include a Georgia driver's license, valid or expired, or a valid state ID card, U.S. passport, military or tribal ID, or a valid employee photo ID from any branch of federal, state, or local government.
Polling places around Coweta and the state will be open Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for runoff voting.
The biggest race is the Republican primary runoff between Jack Kingston and David Perdue. Kingston, a long-time congressman from Savannah, and Perdue, a former CEO of Reebok, Dollar General, and other companies, are vying for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate. The winner will face Democrat Michelle Nunn in November in the race to succeed retiring senator Saxby Chambliss.
Also on the Republican runoff ballot is the race for state school superintendent. Republican candidates are Mike Buck and Richard Woods.
The only race on the Democratic ballot is for state school superintendent. Candidates are Alisha Thomas Morgan and Valarie D. Wilson.
As of Thursday, there had been 934 early votes cast in Coweta.
If you voted in the Republican primary in May, you can only vote in the Republican runoff, and if you voted Democrat, you can only vote in the Democratic runoff. If you did not vote in May, or voted a nonpartisan ballot, you can vote in either runoff.
For more information, contact the voter registration office at 770-254-2615.

Alrite the ol' e4od needs a bigger cooler.
Yah my e4od has been weird ever since its started getting warm out back in march. I had a bad seal and a minor leak. This leak would get more intense when my tranny heated up to 160+. This kept happening intill one day my tranny was around 160-170 and it stopped working. I had reverse but no drive. I waited a little bit, and added a quart of fluid. The tranny worked fine. About 5 months later with the leak problem still the tranny did it again around 160+. This time I didn't add any fluid and just let it cool down and drove home. I fixed the seal and the leak and changed the filter. I measured the amount of fluid i removed with my deep pan and it was around 8 quarts... I refilled the it with 7.5. The truck ran fine intill today. I was driving around and it got up to 160+ and I felt it acting weird when I put it into drive... sluggish for a few seconds. Got home the tranny was at 180+ for kicks i put it in reverse, felt sluggish. Then drive... no forward gears . I knew what to do this time lol. I added 2 more quarts cause I figured i took 8 out and alot of it missed the pan anyway and I only put 7.5 back in. So put the 2 quarts in and a few minutes later. Bam worked fine.
I have heard of these trannys doing this but never moving forward after. I keep thinking that I have always been low on fluid and at high temps the fluid thins out to much to make it work properly. So I wanna add a new cooler. I have been reading about the tru-cool 4739. And at around $140 with bypass it dosent seem that bad.
BTW: my truck is a 1996 f-250 psd.
I wanna know if anyone else has some suggestions to coolers and whats the best buy. I've been reading people are never going over 125+ highway with larger coolers. Man I wish I could have that Or any insight to my strange e4od?
anyone have any input?
Your trans isn't running hot ..sounds like its getting ready to be puled. A bigger cooler isn't going to help. Once you do get it rebuilt then a new bigger cooler is a good idea and either use one from Permacool or a 6.0 cooler but don't use one with a bypass just plumb it in after the radiator.
You can also go to 3/8" hard lines to increse flow.
Check your cooler lines and the cooler itself..maybe restricted? Your checking the dip stick when the fluid is hot..correct?
And what do you mean checking the fluid via the dipstick? When it runs hot I always pull it. No foam, metal, rubber, or burnt smell. The fluid is a nice light translucent pink. (When hot). Thing is with the dipstick is that i don't think its to accurate. The fill level never really changes when I add fluid... Like after i dropped my pan a few weeks ago. I took out around 8-9quarts, and added 7.5 back. The level said it was fine. Then it gave me a problem... Let it cool down and was able to drive again. Added another 2 quarts and the fill level on the dipstick didn't change at all.
are you checking it with the truck running in park or neutral?? it has to be running to be properly checked. it sounds like u are checking it with the truck off...
Like i said. My tranny had a bad pan seal and it leaked a lot when it got hot. The fluid level appeared normal. Then my tranny wouldn't go into forward gears when it got to 160* for the first time in a while. Check fluid when this happened and it appeared normal. I added 1 quart of fluid and let it cool down to 140* and drove it home normally. Then five months later with the same leaky pan and reaching temps 160-180 normally it did it again. Checked fluid seemed fine. Let cool down was able to drive it home.
(Every time i drove it during those 5months between my tranny problems. I reached temps up to 180* and didnt have a problem.)
So after the 2second time I decided to fix that leak. Fixed leak and I removed around 8+ quarts of tranny fluid (atleast 8 in my drainoil collector and who knows how much missed the pan when taking the bolts out (no drain plug). So i fixed the gasket and replaced the filter. I added 7.5 quarts of fluid back because thats what the pan is marked. Checked the dipstick and it said it was fine (running for about 10 mins after change) Drove it around and it was fine and I let the truck sit over night and checked it cold to make sure it was on the stick. So 2 weeks later the tranny got to 180 and decided to not go again. Added 2 quarts of fluid and its fine... And thats where I am now.
I don't know whether my problem is a bad tranny (It shifts fine, and when I took the pan off nothing smelt burnt and nothing in the pan. Just a little sludge and fuzz on the magnet) Or if I never had the proper ATF level, and it was to low and when it got hot it became to thin(?) and wouldn't function within the tranny properly.
So there's basically another sum up of whats happened. Sorry if I have any typos its kinda late and I'm tired. All i really wanna do is upgrade my cooler (still wana see a pic of a true 96 stock cooler) and try to kept my temps below 160* which seems to be bad luck.
Call and talk to John Wood or Brian at BTS they can answer the questions.

A main gateway makes way into a large courtyard, which is adorned with two huge fountains. Beyond the courtyard is the main palace complex with a beautiful garden behind it. To the right side of the main palace is the Schonbrunn Court Theatre. This theatre was built in the Rococo style in 1767. Enjoy a view of the entire complex from the garden. Towards the left side of the garden is the coach room, housing a wonderful collection of coaches, sledges and carriages. Towards the right side of the garden is the Orangery that was used for protecting plants and flowers during the winters. The main palace is about 175m wide and has a beautiful and symmetrically built Baroque facade.
The interior of the palace is designed in typical Rocco style. The Millionenzimmer, or the Millions Room is especially worth seeing. Other brilliant rooms in the palace include the Chinese Cabinet, which is adorned with porcelain. This was the room where Empress Maria Theresia held meetings with her advisors. The Blue Chinese Room is also good to visit. It is ornamented with blue Chinese motifs. The Vieux-Lacque room is where Maria Theresia spent much of her time after becoming a widow. The Spiegelsaal or the Mirror Hall is great to see. Next to this hall is the Rosa Room that was named after the artist who designed the walls with frescos landscapes. The Walnut room and the private rooms of Franz-Joseph and Empress Elisabeth are also nice to see.
Behind the palace is a huge park, the Schloss park, which was originally a hunting ground. The center of the park has beautiful flowerbeds that are fringed by statues. These flower beds extend to the large Neptune Fountain. From this fountain a path leads to the Gloriette, a striking arcade that sits on the Schonbrunn Hill.
The other notable attractions in the park include a huge steel construction of the Palmenhaus that was built in 1883. It contains numerous exotic plants from various climatic zones. Close to this is the Tiergarten, which is home to animals like koalas, elephants, hippopotamus, apes, etc. The Japanese Garden, the Roman Ruins, Botanic Garden and the attractive Taubenhaus are also worth seeing.
The Masjid As-Salam is the closest Masjid to the Schonbrunn Palace and there is also a halal kebab and pizza outlet within a kilometer of the palace.

Hospice Introduction
Nobody wants to die, but we all do at some point. Hospice care will not prevent your death, but will help you in how you want to die.
What Hospice Is
Hospice is an idea, not a place. The idea is that if someone you love has an incurable illness, and treatment to prolong life and keep the illness under control no longer works, there is still something that medical science can do. Even if life cannot be prolonged, comfort can always be provided, and it should be provided effectively.

Government shutdown will have impact on lagoon hearing
Dear friends,
In light of a government shutdown, we know there are many concerns regarding the October 3rd briefing. As we address the government shutdown on the national level, please know that we remain committed to focusing on the issues of great concern to our constituents. That is why we are moving forward with this Thursday's briefing on the ongoing crisis in our local waterways.
While we are hopeful that the shutdown will be resolved before Thursday, we are currently working with administration officials and other Member offices to try to determine how it may affect this briefing. While many of you expressed an interest in Capitol tours, unfortunately tours have been suspended due to the shutdown. It will also have an impact on some panel members, especially those on the federal panel who are impacted by the shutdown and furloughs within their agencies. A shutdown may also impact where the briefing can be held. We have been notified that any guests traveling from out of town for official business will be allowed into the office buildings, however, due to limited access points please allow extra time for long lines at the security check points into the buildings. As of now, the meeting will still take place this Thursday, October 3rd from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in room 2167 of the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C. A rally in front of the Capitol building at the House Triangle will follow from 12:45 – 1:30 p.m. If anything changes, we will contact you immediately.
Please find below the current draft agenda (updated to reflect changes due to furloughs), a map of the area, and directions for getting to the Capitol Complex. We look forward to having you be a part of this important briefing. If you have any further questions, please call 202-225-3026.

Nintendo Download - 2/1/10: Swing True, Bet Big and Vanquish Evil with New Game Downloads
Not a huge week in the Nintendo Download to start out the month of February, at least not in scope. In terms of quantity, on the other hand, nine isn't so bad. Golfers on the go can download the new Express version of True Swing Golf on the DSi, as well as staples such as 5 in 1 Solitaire and DOWNTOWN TEXAS HOLD'EM. The brain-training types have Move your Brain Rollway Puzzle, and Legends of Exidia seems like just the thing for traditional gamers. WiiWare also has 5 in 1 Solitaire, plus an action-puzzler in Tumblebugs 2. But odds are, most eyes are going to be on the fifth and final chapter of Tales of Monkey Island. And finally, from the oldschool comes one of the stars of the upcoming Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing, Alex Kidd, as he takes on the legions of ninja which inhabit Shinobi World. Interestingly enough, this Master System game was never released in Japan. For full descriptions of each game, check out the press release that follows after the cut. Read More

Welcome to WeddingInspired.com! When we had the idea for a wedding website that had anything & everything you could possibly need for your wedding, we searched around to find one and were amazed. There was really no website where a bride could go and purchase everything she needed for her big day?
Sure, there are hundreds of thousands of websites that will sell you wedding favors, accessories, gifts, or any number of other items. But it becomes so inconvenient to order products from half a dozen websites and wonder when each one will arrive. That's a process we wish no bride to go through, so WeddingInspired.com was born out of that vision!
Today you'll find everything from decorations, supplies, invitations, centerpieces, cake toppers, accessories, favors, and anything else that is wedding related. Not only will you find each of these categories, you'll find hundreds of sub-categories for a maximum selection. Which simply means that we're all about variety and you'll get to choose from many thousands of styles, designs, & collections.
We also noticed there was a lack in four main areas, which is what our core focus is on. Those would be really low prices, high quality products, the best customer service, and of course a wide variety to choose from. Our team got to work on each of these areas and we take pride on being the best price, the best quality, the best service, and the best selection.
Have a wonderful time shopping our website and best of luck for your big day!

"All About Your Wedding Day!"
The awesome folks working over at this cool company are truly inspiring and the process of working with them has been beyond fantastic! We actually hired out a planner because it was the first time doing this and wanted everything to be perfect, unfortunately she didn't allocate enough time because she was doing multiple weddings at the same time... and we were truly lost when it came to buying all these things. Towards the coming month I found out the favors still haven't been taken care of and needed a fast (really fast) turn around time. You all were the only ones who had the right price and the right delivery times, even for the edible stuff. Truly happy with this experience, highly recommend to all of you getting married this season!
