eLearning Financial Aid Information
Clark College’s eLearning program provides learners worldwide with access to a variety of
academic programs and resources in a sustainable, technology based learning environment.
To meet the Financial Aid needs of eLearning students the Financial Aid office at Clark
College has established a site that will provide more information on Financial Aid procedures that
may be different for eLearning students.

| How
do eLearning students show Proof of Attendance: |
Federal regulation CFR 668.32(a)(1)(i) requires all financial aid recipients attend at least one class prior to an institution
disbursing any type of student aid.
How do online students show proof of attendance?
Step 1: Students will request their instructor
to email the Financial Aid office at finaid@clark.edu
stating the student has been attending their class.
Note: Emailed Proof of Attendance is valid for one week from the date the instructor sends the notification to the Financial Aid Office.
Step 2: Financial Aid then prints the email and
attaches it to the students voucher. Once this is done the student
can go to Financial Aid, sign and pick up their voucher. The student
takes the voucher to the cashier's office to pick up their check.

Note: If a student cannot come to the college, arrangements
can be made to have the voucher mailed to the student to sign and return. Once Financial
Aid receives the signed voucher from the student, Financial Aid
will then mail the check to the student.
| How can
Adding/Dropping classes affect my Financial Aid?: |
Talk to Financial Aid before you choose to change or drop credits,
because it can affect your Financial Aid. Financial Aid recipients
who are changing their credit load must contact the Office of Financial
Aid, prior to making any changes, as this can affect
your aid. One-on-one/personal advising/counseling from a Financial
Aid representative is advised via phone or email.
This agreement states that Clark College, as the Home
Institution, another eligible institution, as the Host
Institution, and the participating student have worked to ensure
that all parties have a clear understanding of their
rights and responsibilities involved in a Consortium Agreement.
Since electronic submission of the Consortium Agreement form is currently not available; we recommend mailing, faxing to 360-992-2864, or delivering the signed and dated form to the Office of Financial Aid.
