The Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA), as amended by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA), requires MACC to disclose information to potential and currently enrolled students and prospective and current employees. This MACC web portal provides a single access point for required disclosures regarding (but not limited to) general statistics about the institution, financial assistance (including loans), athletic participation, campus security, student rights and responsibilities, and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) at Moberly Area Community College. Additionally, this information is provided to avoid any and all misrepresentation of our educational programs, financial charges and employability of our graduates.
Please review all the contents below for complete and transparent disclosure about our institution.
MACC students and staff will have 24/7 access to the contents of this web page and these disclosures; additionally, MACC will inform its students and staff of this information at least one time per year by sending an email announcement to each student and staff via the MACC-issued email account.
MACC provides dynamic and accessible educational opportunities that empower our students and enrich our communities. We are proud of our tradition and welcome inquiries about our programs and services. The Student Consumer Information regulations of the United States Department of Education require universities to provide students access to certain information to which they are entitled as consumers. MACC intends to provide complete and easy access to any information students need.
If MACC is your choice for fulfilling a college career and a rewarding future, you should not be held back because of limited funds. MACC believes all students who qualify for admission should have equal access to its programs through financial aid. Although primary financial responsibility for your education rests with you and your family, Moberly Area Community College will do its best to bridge the gap between what it costs and what you can afford to pay.
The Types of Financial Aid website provides a description of each financial aid program available at MACC, an explanation of how financial aid is awarded, and additional information about financial assistance.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) (20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records; establishes the rights of students to inspect and review their education records; and provides guidelines for the correction of inaccurate and misleading data, the right to consent to disclosures of personal information and the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by MACC to comply with the FERPA requirements. The law applies to all schools receiving funds under an applicable U.S. Department of Education program.
FERPA gives parents certain rights for their children’s education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Once students have enrolled in coursework at Moberly Area Community College, FERPA rights transfer to the student, regardless of the student’s age. An authorization to disclose any educational record to any person (including a parent) must be initiated by the student. More information about the authorization procedure and FERPA may be requested in the Student Affairs Office.
A complete description of MACC’s FERPA policy may be found online at FERPA.
More information about FERPA from the U. S. Department of Education is available online at: https://studentprivacy.ed.gov/ferpa.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) sets standards to protect the confidentiality of health information. However, the HIPAA Privacy Rule excludes from its coverage those records protected by FERPA at school districts and postsecondary institutions that provide health or medical services to students. Congress specifically addressed how education records should be protected under FERPA. For this reason, records protected by FERPA are not subject to the HIPAA Privacy Rule and may be shared with parents under the circumstances described here.
The ADA and Access Office obtains and maintains health records for each student who applies for services, so the receipt and maintenance of health records are well established. In addition, if a financial aid recipient cannot maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) due to medical reasons, the Financial Aid Office may request documentation of the medical condition through the SAP Appeal process. An exclusive SAP Appeal committee will review this information, which will be maintained in the student’s financial aid file for safekeeping.
See also https://studentprivacy.ed.gov/resources/joint-guidance-application-ferpa-and-hipaa-student-health-records for joint guidance on FERPA and HIPAA, and for more information on HIPAA, see the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services website: www.hhs.gov/ocr/hipaa/. HIPAA regulations are published as 45 CFR Parts 160, 162, and 164.
As required by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLB) Act issued by the Federal Trade Commission, MACC has safeguards in place designed to ensure the security and confidentiality of student information, protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information, and protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any student.
The Office of Access and ADA Services offers services for MACC students who have disabilities to ensure access and equal opportunity for all students to pursue their educational goals. Eligible students may register for services with our office, and we will develop a plan with each student for reasonable and appropriate accommodations related to their disabilities. More information about MACC’s Office of Access and ADA Services is available online at: Access and ADA.

The U.S. Department of Education’s College Affordability and Transparency Center contains information for students and parents about costs at America’s colleges. The website has the College Scorecard, which displays the typical student cost, graduation rate, loan default rate, and median borrowing amount for each college. (www.collegecost.ed.gov)
College policy requires fees and tuition to be paid in full on or before the first day of each semester unless the student has guaranteed financial aid in their account. According to the MACC policy, tuition and fees may be refunded (or reduced), which can be accessed online at Refund Information.
A student is expected to complete the official withdrawal procedures if he or she wishes to drop a class. Failing to attend a class or call the college is not an official withdrawal. Instructions on officially withdrawing from classes are available online at Registration & Withdraw Procedures.
The federal government mandates that students who withdraw from all classes may only keep the financial aid “earned” up to the time of withdrawal. Title IV funds disbursed in excess of the earned amount must be returned by MACC and/or the student to the federal government. This situation could result in the student owing aid funds to MACC, the government, or both. A complete version of this policy and an example of the Refund to Federal Aid computation are available online at: Financial Aid Forms.
The MACC Bookstore provides a list of the textbooks for all classes each semester. The booklist is available online at: http://bookstore.macc.edu.

An electronic book voucher will be available at any MACC Bookstore. Generally, book vouchers are available one week before the first day of classes and will remain available until financial aid is posted to the student account. A student ID must be presented; only the student may charge on their account. Some restrictions may apply.

U.S. copyright law states an author owns his or her words the minute they are “fixed in any tangible medium of expression, now known or later developed, from which they can be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated, either directly or with the aid of a machine or device” (U.S. Code: Title 17, Section 101). Students should honor copyright law carefully, especially when using electronic communication mediums. Students should not electronically or otherwise publish, without the copyright owner’s permission, any material they did not write themselves.
Accusation of academic dishonesty puts the burden of proof on the student, not the instructor. Whether intentional or unintentional, all instances of academic dishonesty could have one of the following consequences (this list is not exclusive): reduction of paper/test/project grade; failure of paper/test/ project with a rewrite or re-creation; failure of paper/test/project without a rewrite or re-creation; reduction of course grade; failed course grade; expulsion from the course; or expulsion from MACC. Willful copyright infringement can also result in criminal penalties, including imprisonment of up to five years and fines of up to $250,000 per offense. For more information, please see the U. S.

Students must maintain specific academic progress requirements to be eligible for financial aid; a complete copy of the SAP standards is available online at: Satisfactory Academic Progress
Eligibility for the Federal Pell Grant and other need-based aid will be determined by evaluating several factors, including, but not limited to, the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) results from the current year’s FAFSA, the number of credit hours the student is enrolled in for the current semester, and the amount of Federal Pell Grant funds the student has previously received. More information is available online at the FAQ.
The Financial Aid Office establishes standard student budgets each year to award financial aid funds. These budgets reflect typical “modest but adequate” expense patterns of Moberly Area Community College students. While actual expenses will vary based on each student’s lifestyle and level of enrollment, estimated costs should assist students when planning their budgets. More information is available online at the FAQ.
The Financial Aid Office will notify students in writing, within the contents of the Financial Aid Offer Letter, of their expected loan disbursement and refund dates. The Business Office will credit (post) financial aid awards to student accounts as the college receives them. Any monies received will be applied to the student account first to pay all outstanding charges. Federal Pell Grant funds, Federal Direct Student Loan, and Federal Parent PLUS Loan funds are issued in payments called “disbursements”. If a credit balance occurs on an account due to the disbursement(s), the Business Office will prepare a refund check. The refund date will be no sooner than the semester’s forty-fifth (45th) day. The Business Office will send a notice to the MACC-issued email account addressing the date and procedures for receiving the refund. Please note: Students are not guaranteed a refund on the disbursement date. Any time a student receives financial aid above their charges, the Business Office will issue a refund check for the credit balance within fourteen (14) days after all charges are paid in full.
In compliance with the Principles of Excellence for Educational Institutions Serving Service Members, Veterans, Spouses, and other Family Members, also known as Executive Order 13607, MACC provides the College Financing Plan, which is a resource to help consumers understand their educational costs and the aid available to meet those costs. Developed by the U. S. Department of Education, it provides a simplified overview of financial assistance. It should be considered supplemental information to the MACC Financial Aid Offer Letter and Financial Aid Offer Letter Guide. Before a student can view their College Financing Plan, they must complete admissions requirements and the annual Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). A student may access their College Financing Plan in the Financial Aid Portal.

Direct Loans are low-interest loans for students and parents to help pay for a student’s education after high school. The lender is the U.S. Department of Education, though the entity the borrower deals with, the loan servicer, can be a private business. Student loans are debt that must be repaid. More information about student loans and a sample repayment schedule are available online at https://studentaid.gov/.
Moberly Area Community College is committed to helping students manage their student loan debt and reduce the likelihood of default. Through proactive education, such as required loan counseling and support services, the College will work to maintain a low Cohort Default Rate (CDR) and ensure students are equipped with the tools needed to repay their loans successfully.
Student loan default occurs when you fail to make the required payments on your federal student loans for an extended period. For federal loans, you are considered in default if you do not make a payment for 270 days (approximately 9 months). Defaulting on your loans can have serious consequences and affect your financial future. Such as damage to your credit, loss of future federal financial aid, wage garnishment, and tax refund seizure. Entrance and Exit Counseling will explain all the terms and conditions of student loan borrowing and provide guidance on how to avoid default.

To comply with U.S. Department of Education and Office of Veteran’s Affairs regulations, all programs at Moberly Area Community College designed to meet the educational requirements for a specific professional license or certification that is required for employment in an occupation, or is advertised as meeting such requirements, must provide information regarding whether completion of that program would be sufficient to meet the educational requirements making a graduate eligible for licensure for employment in an occupation for which the program prepares students, in the state in which the student is located. In addition, U.S. Department of Education regulations state that Distance Education Students may only enroll in Licensure Programs where the college has determined that license requirements are met in the state where the student is located or where the student attests they will seek employment.
A licensure program at MACC leads to professional licensure or certification, which is required for employment in an occupation.
Moberly Area Community College (MACC) must make an official determination regarding a student’s location at the time of the student’s enrollment in a licensure program. The following describes how MACC determines a student’s location.
If a student is located in a state in which their chosen professional licensure program does not meet educational requirements for licensure at the time of initial enrollment, they are prohibited from enrolling in the program unless they complete an attestation. The attestation is a tool for students to engage in the decision-making process with awareness and consent. In the attestation, the student declares their intention to seek licensure and employment in a specific state where the program meets professional licensure requirements.
This policy establishes a code of conduct that reiterates and reflects Moberly Area Community College’s continuing commitment to conducting financial aid practices with integrity, free from conflicts of interest, in the interest of students, and compliance with applicable law.
For purposes of this policy, specific key terms are defined as follows:
(a) any entity that itself or through an affiliate engages in the business of making loans to students, parents, or others for purposes of financing higher education expenses or that securitizes such loans; or
(b) any entity, or association of entities, that guarantees or services educational loans; or
(c) any industry, trade, or professional association that receives money from any entity described in subsections (a) and (b) above.
An arrangement or agreement between a Lending Institution and Moberly Area Community College,
(a) under which a Lending Institution provides or otherwise issues educational loans to the students attending Moberly Area Community College or the families of such students; and
(b) that relates to Moberly Area Community College or an affiliated organization recommending, promoting, or endorsing the educational loan products of the Lending Institution.
Any arrangement between Moberly Area Community College and a Lending Institution that results in the Lending Institution paying a fee or other benefits, including a share of the profits, to Moberly Area Community College, its officers, employees, or agents as a result of Moberly Area Community College’s recommending the lender to its students or the families of those students.
Moberly Area Community College is required by law, specifically under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the FTC’s Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and its accompanying Safeguards Rule, to develop privacy practices and security standards to preserve and protect institutional information. MACC takes seriously its commitment to protect the privacy of its students, alumni, faculty, and staff and to protect the confidentiality of information vital to the institution’s academic mission. Anyone who maintains or accesses confidential information on behalf of MACC is responsible for using those records in compliance with FERPA, GLBA, and this policy. All users with access to confidential information assume responsibility for the management practices of information under their purview, including a general inventory of the kind of information specific to their role and, most importantly, providing up-to-date authorization for access to information.
