Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
Northwest state community college has
				established guidelines for the prevention, identification of and response to
				identification of identity theft and financial aid fraud.
(A)
								What are identity
			 theft and financial aid fraud?
(1)
									Identity theft: individuals who use personally
			 identifying information of other people to apply for admission to college,
			 receive financial aid and then enroll in classes are committing identity theft.
			 Often, the victimized student is not aware that they have been enrolled in
			 classes, and the financial aid funds in their name are sent to the individual
			 who is perpetrating the fraud. This frequently results in the victimized
			 student being left with unpaid debt at the institution and with the U.S.
			 department of education due to student loans that were obtained in their
			 name.
(2)
									Financial aid fraud: students and potential students
			 who enroll in classes and accept financial aid based on enrollment with no
			 intent to complete classes may be considered perpetrators of financial aid
			 fraud. The student's tuition and fees are usually paid by financial aid funds,
			 and the student receives a refund of financial aid funds in excess of those
			 costs.
(3)
									Students, parents, spouses, college staff and all
			 others are responsible for accurately portraying information submitted on the
			 FAFSA, and in all supporting documents to the financial aid application
			 process. Such documents include, but are not limited to, the FAFSA,
			 verification forms, time sheets, signature pages, appeal applications,
			 correspondence, etc. Falsification of financial aid documents is an extremely
			 serious offense. Students and others who fraudulently complete financial aid
			 documents will be subject to disciplinary action, which may include loss of
			 eligibility for all financial assistance, termination from all college
			 employment programs, and referral to the U.S. department of education for
			 criminal prosecution.
