Student Title IV Authorizations
Please click here to fill out your authorization form.
Why do I need to fill out a Student Title IV Authorization form?
As a recipient of Federal Student Aid (also called Title IV funds) you have options regarding how some of the aid is applied to your student account. Examples of financial aid that are Title IV funds include: Pell Grants, Stafford loans, SEOG grants, PLUS loans, and Perkins loans.
Anna Maria College needs to know your responses to the questions on the online form in order to handle your funds in the manner you prefer. Please note that you may request to rescind or grant these authorizations at any time. Changes must be submitted in writing. You may submit an updated version of this form (or other written authorization) in order to make these changes. This form and any subsequent changes must be submitted to the Student Accounts Office. Authorizations or changes become effective on the date the written notification is received by the Student Accounts Office and cannot be applied retroactively. For compliance purposes we must assume that any blank or failure to submit this form implies that authorization has not been granted.
Tuition Refund Plan
Please note that students are automatically enrolled in this insurance program, unless they submit a waiver of benefits request.
*Waiver instructions and details of the coverage can be found at www.collegerefund.com. If after visiting the website you have any questions regarding the coverage, please call A.W.G. Dewar representatives at (617) 774-1555.
What is the Tuition Refund Plan?
Recognizing the substantial cost of an education at Anna Maria College, we have concern for the student who suffers a serious illness or accident and has to leave the College for that reason before the term is completed. In many instances it means not only the loss of time invested in studies, but also the loss of the charges paid for the term. With this in mind, the College has made arrangements to provide a Tuition Refund Plan (TRP), which is designed to minimize the risk of financial loss for students and their families if a covered illness or accident were to occur.

1098T Tax Form
In 1997, the Taxpayer Relief Act established two education tax credits and a deduction for student loan interest. These credits are explained in detail in Publication 970 from the IRS.
What is the 1098T Tax Form?
The 1098T form is a Tuition Statement that includes information that colleges and universities are required to issue for the purpose of determining a student's eligibility for education tax credits. The 1098T form issued by Anna Maria College reports the amount of mandatory tuition and fees (qualified expenses) billed to you by Anna Maria College over the course of the previous calendar year, from January 1st to December 31st as well as any "free" money (scholarships/grants) disbursed to your student account. This form is intended to assist you or your parents in preparation of your federal income tax return.
Tuition, fees and related expenses paid to the institution as a condition of enrollment or attendance are considered qualified expenses. Expenses for books and supplies generally do not qualify for the credit. More information about qualified expenses may be found in Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education. In addition, qualified educational expenses which are paid for by tax free funds are not eligible for the credit. Therefore, if your tuition was paid entirely by Pell Grant, a tax free scholarship or VA educational assistance, you will not be eligible for the credit. You can learn more by reading Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education
Note: Just because you receive a 1098T does not automatically mean you qualify for a credit. If you have questions about how to compute your education tax credit, you should consult your tax professional or refer to the IRS. Your accountant, tax preparer, or the Internal Revenue Service (www.irs.gov) can best advise you in the utilization of this form when preparing your taxes.

Student Health Insurance
| Undergraduate Students Since September of 1989, Massachusetts law, G.L. c.15A, § 18, has required every full-time and part-time student enrolled in an institution of higher learning in Massachusetts to participate in a student health program or in a health benefit plan with comparable coverage. A part-time student is defined as a student participating in at least 75% of the full-time curriculum. All students enrolled in at least 75% of the full-time curriculum are automatically charged the Student Health Insurance Fee once per academic year. If the student is already enrolled in a comparable insurance plan, then the fee may be waived. It is mandatory that all health insurance waivers be completed electronically. > 2011-2012 Student Health Insurance Benefit Flyer > 2011-2012 Frequently Asked Questions |
Graduate and C.E. Students Graduate and Continuing Education Students participating in at least 75% of the full-time curriculum may opt to enroll in the student health insurance program brokered by Gallagher Koster. Graduate and Continuing Education students are not automatically billed or enrolled in the health insurance program.

Enrollment will be verified by Gallagher Koster and Anna Maria College to determine that the student is participating in at least 75% of the full-time curriculum. Enrollment will open for the 2012-2013 school year in July 2012. Coverage will run from August 2012 through August 2013. If at any time during the 2012-2013 school year a student participating in 75% of the full-time curriculum loses his/her coverage, the student may petition to add the student health insurance plan using the Petition to Add form available on the Gallagher Koster website. |
