For almost 50 years, Maricopa Skill Center has represented excellence in trade and vocational training by delivering an educational product that serves a population often overlooked by traditional schools. The MSC mission is an important one – we have a responsibility to help students obtain job skills that will ultimately lead to economic self-sufficiency. Our day-to-day operations are all about providing the very best environment for our students to achieve what we set forth in our mission. MSC’s three operational units work in concert toward our mission, ensuring every student has the best possible opportunity to become his or her personal best and contribute as a valued member of the workforce.

In our Instructional Unit, we continue to transform how to best execute our mission as the concept of a modern workplace constantly changes. We do this by developing a curriculum based entirely on the continuously communicated needs of local and national businesses. Our recent Developing a Curriculum (DACUM) training has laid the foundation for our curricular model. We bring together exemplary industry employees and business owners to evaluate our curriculum and provide feedback for what our students should be learning to be the best candidate for a job. Perpetually continuing this process is the key to achieving our mission.

The Business & Student Services Unit continues to enhance their commitment to our mission by providing easy access to the educational services at MSC. Their dedication to customer service, use of new technologies, and a strong focus on process makes them a unit with a passion for student welfare.

During the 2004 General Bond Drive, MSC was awarded $20 million to accommodate new programs, address program growth, enhance campus security, and upgrade instructional and administrative infrastructure technologies. MSC’s Administration Unit is focused on bringing this plan to reality. Information Technology and Maintenance & Operations Departments play major roles in seeing that the remodeling and new construction of MSC continues to deliver the best educational environment available. They will truly execute MSC’s long-term vision.

As a team, we are proud and inspired by all of the successes we’ve enjoyed in the past year and in all the years before, and look forward to continuing to deliver the quality vocational and trades training that our students and the community have come to expect.

A warm welcome to all of you about to embark on your journey to a new career! I look forward to seeing you on campus.

Kind Regards,

John UnderwoodExecutive Director, Maricopa Skill Center

general information


MSC Financial Aid Office is available to assist students seeking federal financial assistance to cover the cost of their education.

FINANCIAL AID

To be considered for Federal Financial Aid such as grants and loans, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is a free application and the student should never have to pay to apply. If you are on a website that is asking for payment, check the website and be sure you are atwww.fafsa.ed.gov. Follow these three steps to begin the application process:

1. Apply for a Personal Identification Number (PIN) at www.pin.ed.gov 2. Fill out the FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov 3. Enter our school code, E00701

For additional assistance filling out the FAFSA, Maricopa Skill Center hosts free Financial Aid Workshops. Call 602.238.4398 for more information.

APPLYING FOR FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID

MSC administers the following types of Federal Grant assistance:

• Federal Pell Grants• Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG)• Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership (LEAP)

Grants are monies that are provided to students to help cover the costs of attending MSC and are considered to be gift aid, which means it does not need to be repaid to the U.S. Department of Education.

GRANTS

TYPES OF FEDERAL AID

To be eligible to receive Grants, a student must:

• Not have received their first Bachelor’s degree• Have demonstrated financial need based off the results provided by the

FAFSA• Have a high school diploma, General Educational Development (GED)

certificate, or pass an independently administered test approved by the U.S. Department of Education that gives evidence of the studentÕ s ability to benefit from training

• Enroll in a full-time program of at least 600 clock hours and is at least 15 weeks in duration

• Be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen• Have a valid Social Security number• Register with the Selective Service, if required

All Grant programs are awarded based on financial need. A standard formula has been established by the U.S. Congress to calculate the studentÕ s Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The formula uses the information provided by the student and parent(s) to determine the EFC. A student’s financial need is the EFC as calculated by the FAFSA and is subtracted from the cost of attendance.

MSC participates in the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFEL). The following types of Federal loans are offered:

• Subsidized Loans• Unsubsidized Loans• Parent PLUS Loans

The subsidized loan does not accrue interest while the student is in attendance and payment begins six months after the student completes their program at MSC or drops below half-time enrollment.

The unsubsidized loan does accrue interest while the student is in school and the student can choose if he/she wishes to pay for the interest while enrolled. Should the student elect not to make payments on the interest, repayment does not begin until six months after the student completes their program at MSC or drops below half-time enrollment.

The Parent PLUS loan is a loan for dependent students that the parent can apply for. A credit check is completed by the U.S. Department of Education before the parent is eligible to receive this loan on behalf of the student. With this loan, interest is accrued while the student is in school and payments begin six weeks after the loan is fully disbursed.

Because MSC is a year-round school, the Financial Aid Office is able to make awards throughout the year. Students approved for aid are notified by mail.

LOANS

SCHOLARSHIPSMaricopa Skill Center receives a limited amount of monetary donations to be used as scholarship money. A FAFSA must be on file and federal financial assistance applied before eligibility for one of these scholarships can be assessed. Availability of these scholarships varies.

A student may also complete his/her own research on scholarships. There are many scholarship opportunities available for educational assistance. Please visitwww.maricopaskillcenter.com to research additional scholarships. Most scholarships require that a FAFSA be on file before determining eligibility.

COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS & AGENCIESThe Maricopa Skill Center works with many community organizations and agencies that fund area residents’ job training. Students who don’t qualify for Federal funding may want to ask the Financial Aid Office for help in locating an agency that provides training money,

general information


MSC’s Business Office maintains each student’s financial account. The Business Office determines the cost of your educational expenses in comparison with secured funding from financial aid or community resources. They will assist you in determining any remaining cost due to MSC or refund due to you.

BUSINESS OFFICE

Payment arrangements, to include receipt of down payment if required, and/or Financial Aid must be in place prior to the program start date.

Maricopa Skill Center offers three payment methods:

1. Cash payment agreements. Make monthly payments against an approved, signed cash payment agreement through MSC Business Office using cash, check, or credit card. Payments under this method must be on a monthly basis. Please inquire with the business office for information on MSC’s down payment policy.

2. Receive a Federal grant or loan. Tuition will be deducted monthly from the grant or loan according to the studentÕ s hours of attendance. Any shortfall must be paid through a cash payment agreement; a down payment may be required.

3. Receive training funds from a community-based agency. The MSC Business Office will bill the agency directly. Any shortfall must be paid through a cash payment agreement; a down payment may be required.

PAYMENT METHOD

REFUND POLICYMaricopa Skill Center tuition is prepaid monthly and any unused tuition for a continuing student is credited toward the next month. When a student graduates, withdraws, or is terminated, any unused/prepaid tuition is refunded to the payer.

All federal funds, to include loans and Pell Grants, received by the business office on behalf of the student are applied to educational expenses prior to determining the studentÕ s eligibility for a refund from Financial Aid disbursements. Due to MSC being a clock hour school, Financial Aid disbursements may not be refunded in a lump sum; please see the business office for a full explanation.

The registration fee is not refundable. The official date of withdrawal is the last date of attendance.

Lab and Book Fees are only refundable in the event that the class is canceled or the student drops/withdraws prior to beginning the core classes within a program of study.

FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONSAll direct educational expenses (tuition, lab/materials, and registration fees Ð previous or concurrent Maricopa Community College debts) must be paid in full before gradu-ation. A certificate will not be awarded to anyone who owes money to the Maricopa Skill Center or any Maricopa Community College. Students must pay debts even if they are not currently attending class.

Any debt not paid in full could cause default penalty charge actions to be set in motion as described below:

Default. Any debt or returned check may revoke a studentÕ s current enrollment and the studentÕ s right to register in subsequent semesters at all Maricopa Community Colleges. Delinquent debts may require penalties, late charges, collection costs, and/or legal fees to be paid before good standing is restored to the student.

Penalty Charge. Failure to make payments on time could result in charges as-sessed against the studentÕ s Maricopa Skill Center account. Penalty charges may be calculated at the rate of $10 each month, or part thereof, that payment is late. The total amount of said charge may not exceed $50. It is the student’s responsibility to inform Admissions and Records of any changes to his/her contact information (address, phone number, etc.). Non-receipt of invoices due to inaccurate student information on file with Student Services will not be grounds for dispute.

ESSENTIAL SKILLS CENTERThe Essential Skills Center (ESC) is committed to preparing students for success in their training and beyond. Using an interactive software package (KeyTrainª) based upon the nationally recognized Federal Work Keysª, the ESC assesses and trains students in eight areas essential to workplace success (reading, applied mathematics, locating information, observation, listening, teamwork, writing, and soft skills). Working at their own pace with a knowledgeable instructor on hand, students progress to their industry-determined levels.

The ESC is very flexible and will work with students on an individual basis to reach their training goals. For assistance developing any of the listed skills, please call 602.238.4353.

STUDENT RESOURCES

STUDENT RESOURCE ADVISORThrough an agency partnership, Maricopa Skill Center provides a Student Resource Advisor to assist students in balancing school, work, and family life.

Students are directed to social service resources that address crises including food, housing, childcare, and finances. Students are connected with community support services for problems such as abuse, addictions, stress management, and health care.

The Student Resource Advisor is located in room 133 in the main hall next to the Business Office and is available by appointment. For more information or to make an appointment, call 602.238.4390.

CAREER SERVICESThe Career Services Department is available for students and graduates to assist in the transition from student to employee. The staff works with employers to gather industry specific information about their hiring needs, allowing for better alignment between training and employer expectation. Career Services provides employment assistance to graduates and alumni, and a Job Readiness course for current students which covers topics such as résumé writing, interview skills, job readiness skills, and job-searching techniques.

“I really liked the Soft Skills workshops. They helped me a lot with my training and I was even able to apply what I learned when dealing with my family. I learned how to manage my time correctly, how to build better work relationships, and now I really understand the importance of teamwork.”

“I would sit at home as a stay-at-home mom and watch TV, and I knew I wasn’t happy with the choices I made in my life. I saw MSC’s commercials every day for months and something triggered me. I woke up, got ready and went to MSC to enroll in Cosmetology. On my first day I felt different and better about myself, and I feel like my kids have a mom who cares about them now.

Before I started training in Cosmetology I didn’t even know how to part hair, but now I can talk about hair color and chemicals. I like that I know something others don’t!”
