PCCD is bound by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), a federal law regarding the privacy of student records. An individual鈥檚 conduct, either on or off the job, may threaten the security and confidentiality of records. Security and confidentiality are matters of concern to all PCCD employees, which include employees of the District and each of its campuses, and all other persons who have access to student, financial, and employee records. PCCD is committed to maintaining an information security program.

Information on the College鈥檚 faculty and instructional personnel is available through 吃瓜爆料鈥檚 directory and in the Division Deans offices on the Fourth Floor.

The was designed to protect the privacy of educational records and to establish the rights of students to inspect and review their educational records. It also provides control over the release of educational record information. The original intent of this legislation was to keep elementary and high school records private and to give parents access to their child's school records. For more information about FERPA, click here.

Health and Safety Exemption
In some situations, school administrators may determine that it is necessary to disclose personally identifiable information (PII) from a student鈥檚 education records to appropriate parties in order to address a health or safety emergency. FERPA鈥檚 health or safety emergency provision permits such disclosures when the disclosure is necessary to protect the health or safety of the student or other individuals. See 34 CFR 搂搂 99.31(a) (10) and 99.36. This exception to FERPA鈥檚 general consent requirement is limited to the period of the emergency and generally does not allow for a blanket release of PII from a student鈥檚 education records. Rather, these disclosures must be related to an actual, impending, or imminent emergency, such as a natural disaster, a terrorist attack, a campus shooting, or the outbreak of an epidemic disease.
Any student has the right to inspect and review his or her student records, within five days of making an official request. The student may challenge the accuracy of the record or the appropriateness of its retention. Records maintained under this statute include, but are not limited to, information regarding college admission, registration, academic history, official transcripts from other schools and colleges, career, student benefits or services, extra-curricular activities, counseling and guidance, discipline or matters related to student conduct, and any other information the college feels appropriate. All official transcripts from other schools and colleges become property of the College upon receipt, and photocopies are not released.

As indicated in HEA Section 484(r), 34 CFR 668.40, a federal or state drug conviction can disqualify a student from Federal Student Aid funds. Convictions only count if they were for an offense that occurred during a period of enrollment for which a student was receiving Title IV aid鈥攖hey do not count if the offense was not during such a period. Also, a conviction that was reversed, set aside, or removed from the student鈥檚 record does not count, nor does one received when the student was a juvenile, unless the student was tried as an adult.

The chart below illustrates the period of ineligibility for FSA funds, depending on whether the conviction was for sale or possession and whether the student had previous offenses.

*A conviction for sale of drugs includes convictions for conspiring to sell drugs.

If the student was convicted of both possessing and selling illegal drugs, and the periods of ineligibility are different, the student will be ineligible for the longer period.

A student regains federal financial aid eligibility the day after the period of ineligibility ends or when the student successfully completes a qualified drug rehabilitation program or, effective beginning with the 2010鈥�2011 award year, passes two unannounced drug tests given by such a program. Further drug convictions will make the student ineligible again.

Students denied eligibility for an indefinite period can regain it after successfully completing a rehabilitation program (as described below), passing two unannounced drug tests from such a program, or if a conviction is reversed, set aside, or removed from the student鈥檚 record so that fewer than two convictions for sale or three convictions for possession remain on the record. In such cases, the nature and dates of the remaining convictions will determine when the student regains eligibility. It is the student鈥檚 responsibility to certify to the school that the rehabilitation program was successfully completed.

Standards for a Qualified Drug Rehabilitation Program

A qualified drug rehabilitation program must include at least two unannounced drug tests and must satisfy at least one of the following requirements:

• Be qualified to receive funds directly or indirectly from a federal, state, or local government program.
• Be qualified to receive payment directly or indirectly from a federally or state-licensed insurance company.
• Be administered or recognized by a federal, state, or local government agency or court.
• Be administered or recognized by a federally or state-licensed hospital, health clinic, or medical doctor.

If you have any questions about the effect of a drug conviction on your Federal Student Aid or your eligibility, please call 1-800-4FEDAID.

If you withdraw completely from classes during the tuition and fee refund period, and you received a California College Promise Grant (CCPG) to waive your fees, you will not receive a refund on the fees waived by the CCPG. A student who receives financial aid and then completely withdraws from classes prior to completion of 60% of the semester will be assessed a percentage of unearned financial aid. You earn aid as you progress through the semester. For example: if you complete 30% of the semester, you earn 30% of your aid awarded for the term.

Students will be required to repay the institutional portion of assessed refunds; failure to repay will result in a hold on academic records and any future registration at Peralta. Any federal portion due will be referred to the U.S. Department of Education, and failure to make satisfactory repayment arrangements or failure to make any of these payments will make you ineligible to receive further aid at all colleges.

If a portion of aid received is from a Loan, the assessed repayment will be made according to the conditions indicated on the Loan Promissory Note. Any aid received under the Federal Work Study Program will not have to be repaid. If you completely withdraw after you have attended 60% of the semester, you will have earned all financial aid for that semester.

If you withdraw and have not received all earned financial aid, your home college will calculate a post-withdrawal refund that may be disbursed to you.

When a student is paid an initial Pell disbursement (usually 50% of the term award), and then drops enrollment to less than six units, the Pell grant will be recalculated to less-than-half-time status. The student will be required to repay the calculated balance to the Department of Education.

Assessed repayments will be refunded to the financial aid programs from which they were paid in the following order:

1. Unsubsidized Direct Loan

2. Subsidized Direct Loan

3. Pell Grant

4. Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant

If you receive an overpayment of financial aid, even if it is a result of an institutional error, you will be required to repay the overpayment in order to maintain eligibility for financial aid.

Students are packaged for financial aid (given financial aid from several of the programs for which a student is eligible) based on the student鈥檚 financial need. Financial need is determined by a student鈥檚 Student Aid Index (SAI) (computed from information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid) as compared to 吃瓜爆料鈥檚 Cost of Attendance (吃瓜爆料). Those who have a positive number remaining after the SAI is subtracted from the Cost of Attendance may qualify for some need-based aid sources. To meet federal regulations, 吃瓜爆料 defines the neediest students as those whose SAI = -$1500.

If you enroll in a Peralta Community College-sponsored study abroad program, you may apply for financial aid through 吃瓜爆料鈥檚 Financial Aid Office. You will be considered for all aid programs (Pell Grant, Cal Grant (California Residents), California College Promise Grant (CCPG), Foundation Scholarships and Loans) except Federal Work-Study.

Depending on the cost of your study abroad program, the financial aid you receive may or may not meet your full demonstrated financial need. To make up the gap between your aid and the cost of your program, you may want to apply for a private scholarship or an alternative loan. You are responsible for making any payments for the program by the appropriate deadlines.

Every year, millions of high school graduates seek creative ways to finance the markedly rising costs of a college education. In the process, they sometimes fall prey to scholarship and financial aid scams. On November 5, 2000, Congress passed the College Scholarship Fraud Prevention Act of 2000 (CSFPA).

The CSFPA enhances protection against fraud in student financial assistance by establishing stricter sentencing guidelines for criminal financial aid fraud. It also charged the Department, working in conjunction with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), with implementing national awareness activities, including a scholarship fraud awareness site on the ED website.

According to the FTC, perpetrators of financial aid fraud often use these telltale lines:

• The scholarship is guaranteed or your money back.

• You can鈥檛 get this information anywhere else.

• "I just need your credit card or bank account number to hold this scholarship."

• "We鈥檒l do all the work."

• The scholarship will cost some money.

• You鈥檝e been selected by a "national foundation" to receive a scholarship or "You鈥檙e a finalist" in a contest you never entered.

To file a complaint, or for free information, students or parents should call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357) or visit .

Federal financial aid (鈥淭itle IV funds鈥�) is awarded to a student under the assumption that the student will attend school for the entire period for which the assistance is awarded. When a student withdraws, the student may no longer be eligible for the full amount of Title IV funds that the student was originally scheduled to receive. If a recipient of Title IV grant or loan funds withdraws from 吃瓜爆料 after beginning attendance, the amount of Title IV grant or loan assistance earned by the student must be determined. If the amount disbursed to the student is greater than the amount the student earned, unearned funds must be returned. If the student receives less Federal Student Aid than the amount earned, 吃瓜爆料 offers a disbursement of the earned aid that was not received. This is called a Post-withdrawal disbursement.
