COMMUNITY AND ACADEMIC PARTNERSHIPS
This office is the one to go to for internships, cooperative education, community service, and service-learning.
Experience the MU Link to Success
The Community and Academic Partnerships Office (CAP) provides the opportunity foe students to “experience the link to success.” This can be done through internships, cooperative education (co-ops), community service and/or service-learning. All of these programs let you apply what you are learning on campus to a non-academic environment.
Internships and co-ops are work experience in your major (or minor) that let you earn credit toward graduation. Last year 431 students earned 1400 credits and $916,637.
You can be part of this win-win program if you have completed 24 credits (12 if you are a transfer or second degree student), have a 2.0 g.p.a. and permission of your department. Some departments require a higher g.p.a. or specific courses for eligibility. As with all courses there are requirements such as a paper. To learn more about doing an internship complete the online orientation on our website at www.millersville.edu/~cap.
Our staff is committed to help students find quality work experiences regardless of their interests. Students have in fields from a-accounting to z-zoology. Employers include large and small business, and governmental and human services agencies. Students have also worked in places as diverse as Millersville and Mozambique. We encourage students who study abroad to enrich their experience with an internship as one of their courses.
Service to the community does not have to be part of your academic experience. Our Community Service Coordinator will help you find short or long term service opportunities to meet your interests and talents. MU students mentor and tutor children, visit the elderly, build for Habitat for Humanity and meet many other needs in the community. You can also participate in on-campus service projects. Learn leadership skills and build your resume while you help others.
Service –learning is when your professor includes the opportunity for you to participate in a community service activity related to the course you are taking. You will be able to see the relationship between your education and your ability to make your community a better place to live. The CAP office works with faculty and community organizations to make service-learning possible.

The Office of Financial Aid assists students in applying for grants, scholarships, loans, and campus employment. Three basic types of financial aid are available. They are:
- Grants and Scholarships - aid that does not have to be repaid.
- Loans - aid that must be repaid. Generally loan repayment begins after students have completed their education.
- Employment - monies that a student can earn during the semester by working on or off campus.
Students desiring financial assistance must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Forms are available online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov .
Students may also check their financial aid status online through the MAX system by accessing http://www.millersville.edu and clicking on the MAX icon.
Maintaining Financial Aid Eligibility
FINANCIAL AID ACADEMIC PROGRESS POLICY
In order to receive federal and state student financial aid, a student must pass a prescribed number of NEW CREDITS each academic year. For federal student aid (also known as Title IV aid), this policy includes all degree-seeking students , regardless of receipt of federal aid. Federal student aid includes Federal Pell Grant, Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG), National Science and Mathematics Access o Retain Talent (SMART) Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work-Study, Federal Stafford Loan, and Federal PLUS Loan. For state aid, this policy includes only those students who have been awarded a PA State Grant.
A NEW CREDIT is defined as a credit for which the student has not previously passed with a grade of A, B, C, D, D-, or pass.

PLEASE NOTE: Students who receive financial aid during the summer sessions may have a greater credit requirement. Please contact the Office of Financial Aid for additional information.
Failure to pass the prescribed number of NEW CREDITS during an academic year will result in the student losing his/her eligibility for financial aid. Neither courses in which students withdraw ('W' grade) nor receive an incomplete ('I' grade) will count as earned credits toward the required number of new credits. Those students enrolled in developmental courses should contact the Office of Financial Aid to determine how these courses are counted for the purpose of academic progress. Summer session courses taken prior to the academic year in review do NOT count toward the required number of new credits.
Students who are ineligible to receive aid due to academic progress will be notified by mail at the conclusion of the spring semester, after grades have been posted. Students will have the opportunity to appeal the decision based on extraordinary circumstances or he/she may make up the credits without financial aid during the winter and summer sessions.
Maximum Student Aid Payments
PA State Grant — There is a maximum of 8* award payments for full-time undergraduate students.
*Equivalent maximum payments and semesters have been established for students who are less than full time.
Maximum Length of Program and Eligibility to receive Federal Financial Aid
Federal Regulations state that a student must complete his/her undergraduate program in 150% of the time of the scheduled length of the program. The standard length for students pursuing an undergraduate degree at Millersville University is the equivalent of 120 credits. Regardless of receipt of any federal financial aid during the undergraduate program, a student may only receive federal financial aid [including Federal Pell Grant, Academic Competitivness Grant (ACG), National Science and MAthematics Access to Retain Talent (SMART) Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal Perkins Loan, Federal
Work-Study, Federal Stafford Loan, and Federal PLUS Loan] up to 180 credits attempted. Courses in which the students withdraw or receive an incomplete will count toward the number of attempted credits. The Office of Financial Aid will notify students when this credit limit is reached.
Transfer Students - All transfer credits accepted by Millersville will count toward the 180-credit limit.
Academic Dismissal
A student who is dismissed from Millersville University for academic reasons will be eligible for financial aid only if they have met the prescribed number of credits for academic progress at the time of the student's initial semester of re-entry to Millersville University .
Withdrawing/Leaving MU - How it will affect your financial aid
RETURN OF FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID
As part of the Higher Education Amendments of 1998, Congress passed new provisions governing what must happen to your federal financial assistance if you completely withdraw from school in any semester. This change of policy went into effect at Millersville University beginning with the Fall 2000 semester. The policy governs all federal grant and loan programs, including Federal Pell Grant, Federal SEOG, Federal Perkins Loans, Federal Stafford Loans and Federal PLUS Loans, but does not affect Federal Work-Study.
In general, the new law assumes that you “earn” your federal financial aid awards directly in proportion to the number of days of the term you attend. If you completely withdraw from school during a term, the school must calculate, according to a specific formula, the portion of the total scheduled financial assistance you have earned, and are therefore entitled to receive, up to the time you withdrew. If you receive (or the University receives on your behalf) more assistance than you earn, the unearned excess funds must be returned to the Department of Education. If, on the other hand, you receive (or the University receives on your behalf) less assistance than the amount you have earned, you may be able to receive those additional funds.
The portion of your federal grants and loans you are entitled to receive is calculated on a percentage basis. Once you have completed more than 60% of the semester, you can be said to have earned all 100% of your assistance. In other words, your financial aid will not be adjusted. Please note that withdrawing from the university will have an effect on your future financial aid eligibility. See the previous section on Maintaining Financial Aid Eligibility .
Your withdrawal date will be determined by the University as:
(1) the date you began the University's withdrawal process (as described in the Schedule of
Classes) or the date you officially notified the Registrar of your intent to withdraw;
(2) the midpoint of the semester if you withdraw without notifying the University; or
(3) your last date of attendance at an academically-related activity as documented by the University.
If you have received excess funds that must be returned to the government, the University shares with you the responsibility of returning those excess funds. The University's portion of the excess funds to be returned is equal to the lesser of (1) the entire amount of the excess funds, or (2) your total tuition and fee charges multiplied by the percentage of unearned funds.
If the University is not required to return all of the excess funds, you must return the remaining amount (any loan funds that you must return must be repaid according to the terms of your promissory note). If you must return any grant funds, the law provides that the amount you must repay is to be reduced by 50%. This means that you only have to return half of any excess funds you receive. If the return of the unearned federal assistance causes any portion of your tuition and fees to become uncovered, the University will bill you. In such cases, you will be required to make arrangements with the Bursar to pay the balance.
Any award money you have to return is considered a federal grant overpayment. You must either repay that amount in full or make satisfactory arrangements with either the University or the Department of Education to repay the amount. You must complete these arrangements within 45 days of the date of the University's notifying you of your overpayment status or risk losing your eligibility for further federal financial assistance.
When the total amount of unearned aid is greater than the amount returned by Millersville from the student's account, the student is responsible for returning unearned aid to the appropriate program(s) as follows:
1. Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan*
2. Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan*
3. Federal Perkins Loan
4. Federal PLUS Loan
5. Federal Pell Grant**
6. Academic Competitiveness Grant
7. National SMART Grant
8. Federal SEOG Grant**
9. Other Federal Aid
10. PA State Grant
11. Other Aid
*Loan amounts are returned in accordance with the terms of the promissory note signed by the student
**Amounts to be returned by the student to federal grant programs will receive a 50% discount.
Exception: no program can receive a refund if the student did not receive aid from that program.
The percentage of Title IV aid unearned (the amount to be returned to the appropriate aid program) shall be 100% minus the percent earned.
Unearned aid shall be returned first by Millersville University from the student's account calculated as follows:
Total institutional charges X percent of unearned aid + amount returned to program(s)
1. Refunds and adjusted student statement bills will be sent by the Bursar's Office to the student's home address on file in the Registrar's Office following withdrawal. Students are responsible for any portion of their institutional charges that are left outstanding after Title IV funds are returned.
Institutional and student responsibilities in regard to the return of Title IV funds:
a.) Millersville's responsibilities in regard to the return of Title IV funds include:
i .) providing each student with the information given in this policy;
ii.) identifying students who are affected by this policy and completing the
Return of Title IV Funds calculation for those students;
iii.) returning any Title IV funds that are due to the Title IV programs.
b.) The student's responsibilities in regard to the return of the Title IV funds include:
i .) becoming familiar with the Return of Title IV policy and how complete withdrawal affects eligibility or Title IV aid;
2. The fees, procedures, and policies listed above supersede those published previously and are subject to change at any time.
3. Any notification of a withdrawal or cancellation of classes should be in writing and addressed to the Registrar's Office.
Any student who has questions regarding the Return of Federal Funds Policy should contact the Office of Financial Aid at (717) 872-3026.
RETURN OF STATE FINANCIAL AID
The following policy applies for those students who receive a PA State Grant and change enrollment status [full-time (12 or more credits), part-time (6-11 credits), or less than half-time (1-5 credits)] or completely withdraw from the University during the first 5 weeks of classes:
If a student initially enrolls in classes but withdraws, drops credits, takes a leave of absence, or is terminated (suspended or dismissed) prior to the end of the term, a refund to PHEAA of all or a portion of the State Grant may be required.
When a student (full-time or part-time) withdraws or drops to less than half-time (or otherwise ceases to be eligible for State Grant aid) before the end of the term and before State Grant funds have been credited , the student is not eligible for any portion of the term disbursement, regardless of the date on which the student withdrew. Similarly, an increase in the award for the term cannot be credited after the student has withdrawn or dropped to less than half-time status during the term.
When a student drops from full-time enrollment (12 or more credits) to part-time (6-11 credits) after State Grant funds have been credited and during the first 5 weeks of the term , the PHEAA State Grant must be adjusted to the part-time award amount. The overpayment of the State Grant must be returned to PHEAA by the University.
When a student drops from part-time (6-11 credits) to less than half-time (1-5 credits) or completely withdraws from the University after State Grant funds have been credited and during the first 5 weeks of the term , a percentage of the monies must be returned to PHEAA based on the following refund calculations:

If a student changes enrollment status or completely withdraws from the University beginning in Week 6 , the PA State Grant will not be adjusted. Please note that changing enrollment status or withdrawing from the university will have an effect on your future financial aid eligibility for the PA State Grant. See the previous section on Maintaining Financial Aid Eligibility.

This service is provided by the University Communications & Marketing office located in Duncan Alumni House. You can help by filling out a publicity information form, which is included in the "New Student" booklet sent to all incoming freshman & new students.
