A contract sold by a life insurance company that guarantees a fixed or variable payment at a determined point in time.

The person that owns 51% of the stock of Corporation A now controls all three corporations.
A corporation is a legal entity created under the laws of each state having its own privileges and liabilities separate from those of its stockholders. Stockholders have limited liability, elect directors who elect the officers, and can receive dividends if the corporation is profitable.
Credit Enhancements
These are techniques used by issuers of bonds or notes to improve the credit rating of the debt thus reducing the interest rate paid.

This is a general term for a business. It could be a corporation, partnership or other entity.
Foreign Corporation or Out of State Corporation
A corporation incorporated under the laws of a state other than the one in which it is conducting business. Out of State Corporation is preferred since it is less likely to be confused with Alien Corporation.

Godfather Offer
This is a takeover offer that is so generous that the board of the target corporation can't refuse it for fear of encouraging a stockholder lawsuit.
Hidden Reserves or Hidden Values
These are undervalued assets owned by a corporation that are not reflected in its stock price. Examples can be trademarks, patents, licenses, and land. Sometimes these undervalued assets become recognized for their true value resulting in the stock price increasing.
Hostile Takeover
The takeover of a corporation against the desire of its board of directors and senior management.

A tenant or company leasing equipment owned by the Lessor.
A landlord or company leasing its equipment.
Leverage is a technique that can multiply gains and losses. The most common leverage method involves borrowing funds in order to reduce the need for equity capital when making an investment. Leverage always involves increasing risk.

A LBO of a corporation exists when the buyer uses borrowed funds that are secured by the assets of the company being acquired. The buyer may be required to use other funds to supplement the LBO funds.
Liquid Assets
Cash or assets readily converted into cash. Examples would be U.S. Treasury Bills and investment quality corporate bonds or other marketable securities.
Multi - level Marketing (MLM)

MLM creates a downline of salespeople and a hierarchy of levels of compensation. MLM is sometimes referred to as network marketing, referral marketing, and pyramid selling.

Examples of firms that utilize MLM are Amway, Avon Products, Herbalife, Mary Kay, Pre - Paid Legal Services, Primerica, and Shaklee Corporation.

An illegal, non - sustainable business strategy that involves paying participants primarily for recruiting other people rather than providing valuable goods and services to the public.

Shelf Corporation
A Shelf Corporation is a corporation created and placed on the "shelf" to "age" and then be sold. Common reasons for buying a shelf corporation include:
Sleeping Beauty
This is a takeover target that has not yet been contacted by an acquirer. Sleeping Beauty corporations usually own undervalued assets and large amounts of cash or marketable securities.
Spin - off
A corporation divestiture where a subsidiary or division becomes a separate and independent company. Sometimes the stock of the new corporation is distributed to the shareholders of the former Parent Corporation pro - rata. Other times, the new corporation is sold and the cash used by the former Parent Corporation.
Stockholder Rights Plan
This is one of many Poison Pill defenses against a Hostile Takeover. The target corporation issues rights to existing stockholders (excluding the takeover bidder) to acquire additional voting stock if anyone acquires more than a set amount of the voting stock. This dilutes the percentage of voting stock acquired by the bidder and makes it more costly to acquire control of the target corporation.
Stock Option
The right to purchase or sell stock at a specified price within a stated period of time. Stock Options may be very valuable or worth nothing depending upon the terms of the option agreement and whether the price of the stock is increasing or decreasing.

Stock Repurchase or Buyback

This is a corporation where more than 50% of the voting shares of its stock is owned by another corporation called the Parent Corporation.
The exchange of one security of a corporation for another security of the same corporation. For example, bonds may be swapped for preferred stock.
This is a change in the voting or controlling interest of a corporation.
Treasury Stock
This is stock purchased by the corporation from stockholders, thus reducing the amount of outstanding stock. The stock is purchased for cash and held for possible issuance or sale in the future. The cash received by the seller is not taxed as dividend income. Treasury Stock has no voting rights and receives no dividends.
Vertical Merger

Today is a very special day. Today, we give thanks to the wonderful women who enjoyed having sex enough that they lovingly conceived us in their wombs. Yes, it's Mother's Day. Then again, anyone who willingly carries another human in their bodies for nine months deserves way more than just a card and breakfast in bed.
No matter how you spin it, moms are a big part of our lives. Why else would MILF porn be so popular? Moms give birth to us. Moms nurture us. Moms willingly let us suckle on their nipples and receive nourishment. They are the only ones who can actually make tits more amazing than they already are. That's an accomplishment.
I love my mom. I try to make that love and appreciation clear every time I see her. She's been a wonderful influence on me my whole life. Considering that I was miserable, self-loathing little shit at times, I can't help but marvel at the breadth of such love. She really is that amazing. No offense to Gal Gadot, but she is the real Wonder Woman of my life.
She knows what I do. She's been very encouraging since I began writing all those years ago. She, my father, and my family have given me more support than I ever could've hoped for as I pursue my dream of being an erotica/romance writer. So to my mom and all the other wonderful moms out there, I thank you.
As such, I'm proud to dedicate this week's edition of Sexy Sunday Thoughts to my mom and all the other moms out there. Thank you for giving us life. Thank you for having the sex that conceived us. We hope that was an especially satisfying experience, just as I hope these crude comments are especially funny.
"The sight of boobs makes boys hungry as babies. The sight of boobs makes men act stupid as adults. Does that count as irony?"
I'm not sure if this counts as irony or a paradox. Maybe it's a fluke of biology or part of some deep-seated psychological imprint that develops in the minds of men. Maybe it's just our caveman brain's inability to differentiate between hunger and horniness, which I've talked about before.
Whatever the case, the results are the same. Boobs make baby boys hungry. Boobs make grown men act stupid. When I was in New York City last year, I walked past a number of topless women in Times Square. I could feel my brain power temper so that it could process the beauty of expose breasts. Ironic or not, men think boobs are awesome at any age is what I'm saying.
"Those who say sex is an itch that needs to be scratched has clearly never had a nasty mosquito bite on their balls."
I'd rather not go into too much detail about this. There's a reason I know what it feels like to have a mosquito bite on unusual parts of my body. I do not want to tell that story. I'll just say that those who make light of a mere itch are woefully misinformed about how sensitive certain parts of their body really are.
"Massages can be equally sexy for both genders, but they're always more messy for one gender in particular."
Who doesn't love a good sensual massage? It's one of the few sexy acts that can be both deeply romantic and overtly pornographic. It has everything you need for sex appeal. There's intimate touching, relaxing sensations, and plenty of potential for romantic affection.
If done right, a massage can be an orgasmic experience and then some. That said, it can get messy, especially if you're very generous with the massage oil. It also tends to get messy for one particular gender, namely the one that requires tissues and baby wipes. It's just basic biology.
Ask anyone who's had to clean up that mess though. They'll say it's worth it.
"A man can't say he's in love with a woman until he willingly buys her tampons. A woman can't say she's in love with a man until she willingly fixes a toilet he clogged."
There are many ways to test just how in love you are with your partner. Having similar tastes in movies, food, and underwear certainly help, but true intimacy can sometimes manifest in less obvious ways.
The way I see it, if you're willing to accept the less flattering traits of someone, then your love definitely has some meat to it. A man who buys feminine hygine products and a woman who deals with a man's bathroom habits can rightly claim they've achieved a level of intimacy that goes beyond rubbing body parts together.
"A true test of trust is letting someone else shave your pubic hair."
Think about it. Shaving your nether regions is a dangerous and risky endeavor. One wrong move and your weekend is ruined, among other things. It's hard enough to trust your own hands to tend to your most sensitive body parts. Trusting someone else to do it takes something special. It's actually kind of romantic when you think about it.
"When a woman flashes her tits outside a strip club, is it undermining the efforts of hard-working strippers or does it count as free advertising?"
This kind of confuses me. When I was in Las Vegas, there was a topless woman giving out flyers for a strip club. She had great tits herself so it seemed kind of redundant. Why advertise for something in a way that gives the customer what they want from the outset?
Then again, maybe it was a free sample of sorts. Maybe that woman understood that when a man sees one pair of tits, he wants to see more. In that sense, her ploy was pretty brilliant.
"Would prostitution be less taboo if they were reclassified as sexual trainers?"
There are all sorts of taboos surrounding prostitution. When you're the world's oldest profession, the simple law of averages ensure it's bound to happen. I get why women wouldn't want their lovers to see prostitutes. It works the other way too. I'm sure men don't want their girlfriends drooling over male strippers.
So rather than make this another source of conflict, why not turn it into something productive? Why not reclassify prostitutes, male and female alike, as trainers with which we refine our sex skills? The prostitutes get money. Ordinary people are trained by professionals to make love to our partners more effectively. Everybody wins.
Once again, thanks to all the moms out there for being the wonderful women they are. If you can, do something special for the woman that bore you. She's more than earned it.

Brandon Rios gives his 2 top reasons he lost to Manny Pacquiao
Brandon Rios gives his 2 top reasons he lost to Manny Pacquiao

Tweets by @DoghouseBoxing
In a recent interview with Gabriel Montoya of our sister site, MaxBoxing.com, Brandon 'Bam Bam' Rios gave his straight up / cut through the bull / and refreshing answer as to why and how he lost to Manny Pacquiao. Rios gave full props to Pacquiao, and made no excuses... instead he highlighted the top 2 reasons of what Pacquiao did extremely well that flustered him in their bout.
"Honestly, it was speed, man," Rios told Montoya in regards to his loss defeat in Macau, China to Pacquiao. Rios added more to emphasize just how fast Pacman was, stating: "The speed really got to me. It was really a factor. I had some guys in sparring with speed but this guy had tremendous speed."
The other factor that played key to the outcome was that Rios did not expect Pacquiao to be such a great southpaw fighter. "I think also too it had to do with the southpaw [style]," said Rios, adding: "I hadn't fought a southpaw in a really long time. I was never used to a southpaw until Pacquiao. So sparring southpaws in the gym, they weren't as great a southpaw as [Pacquiao]. He's not only a unique southpaw but [the most] awkward southpaw out there and that what was had a lot to do with it."

Petite Paris
shuttled early out of Nha Trang three hours south to the turnoff
for Dalat. Minh played a Christmas carol tape and it was funny to
think it was Christmas Eve as we drove into Vietnam's low desert
area. The sun was bright and it was satisfying to see everyone lathering
on sunscreen. After a brief stop at Po Nagar Cham ruins and photos
of the cactus fields we saddled up and filed down the road for what
would be an all-day truly epic ride.
miles up the road past poor rice villages, a few inhabited by Vietnam's
Cham population, lies the Ngoan Muc Pass that snakes for ten long
miles up onto the Central Highlands Plateau. For those who had not
had enough by then, there would be another five mile climb after
that to reach Dalat.
sweltering heat felt good as the sweat rolled off. The lighter traffic
on this side road was an extra bonus. Horst was soon gone, as was
Jim -- flying up the pass and leaving the rest of us to push one
leg at a time. By the top of Ngoan Muc, clouds had rolled in and
the weather cooled a lot. A few of us opted for the van having already
spent several hours in the saddle. Barbara determinedly pedaled
onto our rendezvous with bus, finishing the hardest ride of her
most of the group went on and finished the ride in semi-darkness.
David spent 8 hours in the saddle - the longest, and hardest ride
he had ever done. We celebrated an epic riding day and Christmas
Eve with beers, hot pot soup and rice wine Tim and Barbara had picked
next day we explored Dalat under sunny skies in T-Shirts, rolling
past the ubiquitous villas, pine forests, strawberry and coffee
fields to the Valley of Love - a popular destination of Saigon tourists.
evening we had a delcious Christmas meal in the city center where
Santa took the form of Debbi and David who doled out presents to
the group, including a can of Texas Spam to Ichibod who had earlier
claimed there was no finer training food.
here for more Dalat photos]
[Previous Chapter]
[Next Chapter]
has been described as both the "petite Paris" and as the
"Disneyland" of Vietnam. No matter what yeor opinion,
Dalat is definitely Vietnam's most intriguing city. A former French
Hillstation, Dalat was built up with hundreds of villas as an escape
from Saigon's heat but was also a popular hunting destination.
and David wind thier way up ten mile Ngoan Muc Pass into the Central
Highlands. The day would be much longer with David arriving in Dalat
over four hours later.
pine forests cover the red earth hills around Dalat -- if not for
the hundreds of French villas and maze of boulevards it could be
Lake Tahoe.

Why do we need Police Officers in our schools?
Schools are a microcosm of the community at large and as such encounter the same problems, including crime. The School Resource Officer serves as a resource to all members of this community by providing education, intervention, counseling, and deterrence.
The School Resource Officer concept is not new. It has existed in schools throughout the United States for decades, and recently has become an integral part of schools in Kansas. The Kansas Association of School Resource Officer programs, formed in 1995, is committed to working with educators and administrators to maintain an atmosphere where teachers feel safe to teach and students feel safe to learn. School Resource Officer programs are not an over reaction to increased violence in our school, but rather a proactive measure to ensure our campuses remain safe.
What are some functions of a School Resource Officer?
Kansas School Resource Officers assume three roles within the school community:
1. Educator
School Resource Officers present law-related curriculum to students, faculty, and parents. These presentations are offered by the School Resource Officers available to speak to classes and parent groups, and often provide information on an individual basis.
2. Resource Provider/Problem Solver
School Resource Officers provide informal, law-related counseling to students, teachers, and parents. This counseling can range from mediation of student conflicts to guiding students and parents to appropriate community services. School Resource Officers work closely with school social workers, counselors, and administrators to ensure students have access to all available resources.
3. Law Enforcement
School Resource Officers provide a positive law enforcement presence in the school community. Uniformed officers present a deterrent to violence, gang activity, vandalism, and theft. They also act as a positive role model for students. Officers investigate crimes which involve the school district or students and work closely with school administrators as a liaison between the school and the police department.

I don't have my MIPS manuals handy right now, but as far as I can remember, all MIPS processors except the R2000 and R3000 should work. >From the nice logs made available by Yozo Toda, the problem seems to be with the operating system rather than with the processors. Namely, there is one piece of strongly OS-specific code in the ocamlopt runtime system. It's a signal handler that needs (on some target processors, including the MIPS) to access the saved register state at the time the signal was taken. How to do so depends strongly on the operating system. The current code for the MIPS works on IRIX and perhaps Ultrix as well, but doesn't seem to work on your machine. You'll have to look at the manual pages for signal-handling routines, and perhaps also at /usr/include/signal.h, to see how to do it for your operating system. Regards, - Xavier Leroy

What happened?
Sep 13th I stabilized net-analyzer/munin-2.0.5-r1 (security bug #412881). I use automated repoman checks and USE="-ipv6", and everything was fine at the time I committed the stabilization (also, see no mention of net-server in that security bug).
Sep 14th Seraphim Mellos filed bug #434978 about munin pulling in ~arch net-server.
Sep 16th x86@ team has been re-added to security bug #412881. Meanwhile Mr_Bones_ pinged me on irc. Also, Diego Elio Pettenò (flameeyes) filed bug #435242 against repoman not catching the dependency problem.
Sep 17th I stabilized dev-perl/net-server-2.6.0 on x86, fixing the immediate problem.
Sep 18th the repoman fix has been released in portage-126.96.36.199 and 2.2.0_alpha129.
Now the only remaining thing to do is pushing the portage/repoman fix to stable. I especially like how quickly the fix for root cause (repoman check) has been produced and released.

If Aion has only one thing going it for it, it's HUGE freaking combat numbers.
Yesterday we showed you some of the beautiful backdrops and
landscapes of Aion: Tower of Eternity. Chances are, however, you don't
play MMORPGs to tour the glorious vistas. This video is all about
combat in Aion, melee, ranged, magic, pet-based, and PvP combat.
Unfortunately, one of Aion's most interesting combat mechanics -
aerial or "winged" combat - is currently undergoing development While
combat in the unfriendly skies didn't make the trailer, you'll see a
number of other, more traditional fighting mechanics in Aion's fluidly
attractive Asian styling.
Take a look right here at Ten Ton Hammer.

|People who know me might know that I think f77 is a problem itself, however this page is dedicated to f77reorder the f77 filter which solves some compatibility problems of the f2c fortran-2-c translator and other f77-extended-standard compilers.
If you have any kind of problems with the f77reorder script, don't hesitate a second to tell me about it. Otherwise the problem will certainly NOT get fixed.
The following extensions to f77 are not allowed within f2c. f77reorder modifies the code passed to f2c in order to avoid compilation errors.
PROGRAM test integer i data i/2/ integer kis therefore transformed to
PROGRAM test integer i integer k data i/2/
PROGRAM test parameter(n=3) integer a,b,c(n),d /2*0,3*1/, e, f/1/is transformed by f77reorder to

Due to my lack of f77 knowlegde it might also happen that f77reorder regards some variable declaration as an error which in fact is an allowed one. Please send me the complete source files in such a case to fix the problem. We were however not able to find any inconsistencies in 40000 lines of f77 code tested... f77reorder error messages are:

A collegue of mine states that you do not need debuggers if you write good code (I will *not* include his code to test his statement here ;-)There are two options of including debug information for f77 code with f77reorder:

The problem with having brightly coloured hair.../
Bright and bold hair colours have definitely never been more mainstream than they are at the moment, and at the salon we're certainly no stranger to blue, pink, purple and green hair.
I certainly get asked a lot about the realistic expectations of bright fashion hair colours, and I actually try and put quite a few people off the idea! They require a lot of commitment, and sadly none of them are permament.
I wanted to share the above two photos of my hair, from last week. These pictures are taken 1-2 days apart, after a single wash. The messy picture is my hair if its just left to dry naturally, I think I went to bed with it damp after washing it.
The comparison highlights two crucial points about the expectations we have of our newly brightly coloured hair. These types of colours basically change every time you wash it. When I'm blue (like I am currently) I re-blue it every time I wash it to keep it even and solid in colour. Neither of these photos has a filter on it, and you can see how the pink has faded somewhat in the wash. You can also see the power of styling hair. It's an ongoing amusement to anyone in the hairdressing industry when clients show a photo of some gorgeously styled hair, asking for the cut, but stating they don't want to have to style it every day.
If you want fabulous looking hair, you will need to style it.
Brightly coloured rainbow hair is a lot of fun, but definitely a lot of work. It stains the bathtub, and runs on your clothes. If you get caught in the rain you may end up with a new shade of fake tan, and your pillows may need to be black (like mine!).

Miami Marlins Pitcher José Fernandez Killed!
The Miami Marlins are still mourning the loss of 24-year-old pitcher and friend, José Fernandez.
Fernandez and two other men were killed in a boating accident yesterday, ESPN reports.
The Coast Guard responded to the scene around 3 a.m. Sunday morning to find a 32-foot boat upside down off Miami Beach. Authorities say that drugs and alcohol were not a factor, but high speed is likely to be involved.
None of the men were wearing life vests.
"Sadly, the brightest lights are often the ones that extinguish the fastest," said Marlins owner, Jeffrey Loria. "José left us way too soon, but his memory will endure in all of us. At this difficult time, our prayers are with his mother, grandmother, family and friends."
Fernandez's girlfriend is expecting their first child.

You're probably familiar with the live CD concept -- a fully functional operating system on a CD that can be run on any computer that boots from its optical drive, without affecting the one(s) already installed. In a similar vein, you can set up Linux to run from a USB hard drive drive on any computer that can boot from USB. The live system offers automatic detection and configuration of the display adapter and screen, storage devices, and other peripherals. A bootable USB drive can run a mainstream Linux distribution such as Debian GNU/Linux, and can be secured, personalised, upgraded, and otherwise modified to suit your needs.
To try setting up a bootable USB drive, you need a computer with an Internet connection, an optical drive to boot from, and a free USB 2.0 port, to which the external USB drive should be connected. We shall employ the standard install procedure for the testing version of Debian, a.k.a. Lenny, with some minor tweaks in order make the system "live."
Download the current netinst CD image for Debian Lenny, burn it to a CD, and boot the computer with it. You'll be greeted by the Debian logo. Press Enter at the boot prompt to start the text mode Debian-Installer, or launch the graphical Debian-Installer by typing
installgui at the boot prompt.
When the installer asks you to select a partitioning method, select "Guided - use entire disk and setup encrypted LVM." Shortly after that you'll be asked to select a disk to be partitioned. Be careful here -- you do not want to select the internal hard disk. The external disk will be listed as a SCSI device, and it will not be the first device on the list.
You will then be asked to specify the partitioning scheme. Select "All files in one partition (recommended for new users)." The installer will ask for your confirmation before it erases the contents of the selected disk. This process is required before encryption, and may take a long time to complete (roughly two hours per 100GB). After that, the installer will prompt for an encryption passphrase, and then continue with the normal installation procedure.
At the last stretch of the installation, after all the required packages have been downloaded from the Internet and installed, you'll get the chance to install the GRUB boot loader. The installer is likely to suggest that GRUB should be installed on the internal disk, in order to achieve a dual boot configuration. You must instead install GRUB to the external disk.
Finally, the installer will attempt to reboot into your new system, but this step will fail until you make a few changes:
- You must configure the computer BIOS to enable the option to boot from a USB device. The procedure differs depending on what BIOS your system uses, but it's usually easy to figure out.
- GRUB sees the boot partition on the USB disk as the first partition of the first disk. The installer, however, treated the internal disk as the first disk. You need to edit grub/menu.lst to change the GRUB root to be
(hd0,0)instead of something like
(hd1,0). Fix the
rootline in every menu stanza and on the line that starts with
# groot=.
- The kernel may attempt to access the encrypted partition before the USB subsystem makes it available, causing the boot process to fail. Add
rootdelay=10to the kernel command line in every menu stanza in grub/menu.lst and at the line starting with
# kopt=.
Following these fixes you should be able to boot the computer with the USB disk. In the process you'll be prompted for a passphrase to unlock the encrypted partition.
Going live
The system installed is already almost "live" in the sense that most hardware devices are automatically detected and configured during the boot process. However, some issues still remain to be resolved before you can take the USB disk to another computer.
The first issue to tackle is disk drive identification. The device path of the USB disk (e.g. /dev/sda if it came up as the first SCSI device) is hardwired by the installer into the crypt options inside the initial RAM file system (initrd image), the static encrypted file system list /etc/crypttab, and the file system table /etc/fstab. This is fine as long as the USB disk is mapped to the same device path as the one it was mapped to during the installation. However, the device path is liable to be different on another computer, or even on the same computer if, for example, another USB disk is attached.
You can get around this potential problem by referring to the partitions using their Universally Unique Identifiers (UUID), which you can determine by running the following command:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2008-01-15 22:34 0897f48a-462d-4ec5-9ef1-a60574fa1182 -> ../../sda5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2008-01-15 22:34 de018d5f-4dbc-4ed6-9724-4d5c793658aa -> ../../sda1
In this example, any reference in /etc/crypttab and /etc/fstab to /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda5 should be replaced with
UUID=de018d5f-4dbc-4ed6-9724-4d5c793658aa and
UUID=0897f48a-462d-4ec5-9ef1-a60574fa1182, respectively.
Once you've made changes to /etc/crypttab, you should run
update-initramfs -t -u in order to fix the initrd image.
The other main problem is with the X server (i.e. the windowing system). It is configured during the installation process, and the setup is saved to the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. If the hardware involved (display adapter, screen, keyboard, pointing device, etc.) is modified, you need to reconfigure the X server by running as root the command
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.
It would be nice to avoid this when switching from one computer to the other. One option is to remove the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf so as to force the X server to autoconfigure itself. I had little luck with this approach, so I added the following at the end of the
do_start function (just before the closing brace) in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh:
This should work as long as autodetection was selected for the display adapter and screen during the last time the X server was reconfigured interactively (such as during the installation process). This method also preserves the user's preferences for keyboard layouts.
You may experience problems in other areas, such as networking, but otherwise this setup should work as is on most machines.
It only took a straightforward install and minor modifications to a few files to get create a bootable live encrypted external hard drive. While the specific instructions above are bound to become stale as Linux, Debian, encryption standards, and computer hardware all evolve, I think it's safe to predict that setting up a bootable USB drive is bound to become even simpler in the future.

JOHN ZAMMIT finds innovation and relative affordability in Jeanneau's new Prestige 500 S sportsyacht
There's never been a better time to buy a boat and the choices just keep on coming. The strength of the AUD has seen new models arriving from overseas at prices that were unheard of a couple of years ago. But when a new concept craft arrives from a respected European manufacturer, we really sit up and take notice.
So it is with the Prestige 500 S, one of the latest offerings from respected French manufacturer Jeanneau. Known here mostly as a builder of sailing yachts, Jeanneau has been making powerboats since 1961 and the Prestige range for the last 20 years. Today, there are more than 2500 Prestige motoryachts from 35 to 60 feet on the water and around the world.
The Prestige range is Jeanneau's answer to those buyers looking for a higher level of luxury and refinement and specification in terms of fit and finish, sort of what Lexus is to Toyota. Launched more than 20 years ago, the range is based on a few simple concepts: good performance and sea-keeping qualities; all of the living spaces situated on one level; 360-degree panoramic views out of all the living areas; and each boat with an independent owner's suite.
The Prestige 500 S features three cabins and two heads. She is powered by twin 435hp Volvo Penta D6 engines coupled to IPS 600 pod drives. But what's unique about the boat is that instead of locating the main stateroom among all of the other accommodation, they've provided completely separate access via an aft staircase. The full-beam owner's suite is most unusual on a boat this size.
Add to that a dinghy garage, a huge electric sunroof, an aft galley, and the result is a practical, roomy and comfortable boat that's put together well. She will be easily handled by a couple and, at under $1m, represents top value.
The 500 S is a well-proportioned boat, very European in styling - a series of large hull windows give the first hint that the interior is just a little different. Stepping onboard via the aft swimplatform, you range up a couple of steps to the cockpit. It's not overly big, but nicely set-up and very social. A large U-shaped lounge along the transom faces a high-low table, which drops to convert the setting to a comfortable sunlounge.
A four-panel sliding door separates the cockpit from the indoors. Fully retracted, the cockpit, galley and saloon become one large, combined indoor/outdoor living area. Full-length side windows and a huge one-piece windscreen provide a sense of light and space. It's here that you start to get an appreciation of the concept of 360-degree panoramic views. An almost full-beam retractable sunroof, which we opened on a bright sunny day, adds a further dimension.
The aft galley to port is relatively compact and features an island bench with cupboards underneath and a full domestic-size fridge-freezer opposite. Adjacent is an L-shaped counter incorporating a three-burner ceramic cooktop, an icebin recessed into the bench and beside that, the sink. The icebin is a good idea for chilling drinks quickly, but I'm not sure about the location, taking up valuable space in what is an already limited amount of bench top.
Covers are provided so that anything not in use converts to bench space - if you were preparing a meal here using the cook top and sink, you wouldn't have too much room left otherwise. There's storage under-bench as well as a microwave and overhead cupboards incorporate an extractor fan. I liked the way the side window continues between the bench top and the overhead cupboards so even the galley is a room with a view.
Forward of the galley, there's comfortable seating around a fold-up table and a lounge opposite to starboard and forward the helm. The layout is open-plan. The flooring and cabinetry throughout is Alpi, a man-made, reconstituted timber with plenty of advantages. It's hard wearing, moisture resistant and eco-friendly, with a consistent grain. But to my eye it looks a tad synthetic. Having said that, the high-gloss cherry finish with contrasting light leather seating and darker leather fascia is quite elegant.
The starboard helm is comfortable, with good vision forward and to the sides, but it's a bit hard to judge where the stern ends from here - so I'd be inclined to add the optional cockpit controls. There's a dual helm seat, inbuilt footrest, adjustable sports wheel and a nice, wide dash. Consequently, there's plenty of room to accommodate the factory-fitted electronics pack including two Raymarine E120W touchscreens, GPS-plotter, fishfinder, 48nm digital radar and autopilot, plus an array of Volvo Penta gauges and the latter's EVC (Electronic Vessel Control).
The engine controls and joystick fall easily to hand and, interestingly, this boat is also fitted with a bowthruster. Now many will tell you that you don't need a bowthruster with joystick docking, and that's true, but let me assure you it does makes life easier when you want to give the nose a bit of a nudge without affecting the stern.
Going forward and down four steps, the roomy accommodation has good head-height and a light and airy feel courtesy of large hull windows in all cabins. The VIP guest cabin in the bow features a large island bed that splits to form two separate berths and, with inbuilt benches either side and ample storage and hanging space, there's room aplenty to stow all your gear for those trips away. There's even a pop-up vanity unit.
A second guest cabin to port features side-by-side berths that slide together to form a large double and here, too, are good storage and hanging spaces. Across the companionway to starboard is a contemporary bathroom with a separate door providing en suite access to the VIP cabin. While not overly large, the bathroom is quite refined with a stylish, mirrored vanity, electric Tecma head and a clever fold-back shower screen that allows this wet area to become a useable part of the bathroom when not in use.
Overhead hatches and opening portholes within the hull windows provide plenty of natural ventilation, with independent air-conditioning controls in each cabin.
The full-beam owner's suite, a highlight, is accessed via a separate staircase situated aft in the saloon. It's roomy, light-filled and comes with ocean views - large hull windows either side provide a sensational outlook over the water. The designers at Jeanneau have done a good job creating an open feel to a cabin that incorporates a large island bed, lots of storage and hanging space, an inbuilt vanity and a comfortable lounge/reading area. In fact, it's a luxurious retreat, with a unique outlook and, as such, is a pleasant place to kick back and relax.
The stylish en suite has separate shower, electric head and mirrored vanity - another sizeable hull window adds plenty of natural light and a sense of space.
Engine access is through two hatches in the cockpit. There's a ladder to step down and Jeanneau has made use of every nook and cranny. The engines are set farther forward than you would normally expect, with a one-metre jackshaft back to the pods.
There is reasonable access around both engines, although getting to the top of them, such as to add oil, is not that straightforward. The floor of the garage is directly above and you need to remove the tender to expose hatches in the garage sole to reach the top of the engines. Everything, though, else is easy to get to. Batteries are housed in boxes outboard of each engine, there's an 11kVa Onan generator and an 1800W inverter drives all the entertainment systems and the galley power points.
Fuel tanks (both 650lt each, and with a balance pipe) are housed forward of the engines and although there's no visual fuel-level indicator, there is a gauge at the helm. But I thought that fuel capacity was a bit light on.
The Jeanneau Prestige 500 S uses around 102lt/h cruising at 20kts, so, leaving a bit in reserve, she has a comfortable cruising range of around 220nm. Water capacity is 636lt and housed in two 318lt tanks located well forward beneath the companionway, with a water gauge in the saloon.
Back in the cockpit are the controls for the tender garage, which lifts to reveal space for a 3.1m dinghy and outboard, foldout rollers and a winch making for effortless launch and retrieval.
Moving along the sidedecks is safe and easy courtesy of raised bulwarks, high siderails and a handrail running atop the cabin's side windows. Fuel fillers (one for each tank) are located under a lift-up lid, so any spillage during bunkering can be contained.
When you reach the foredeck a nice large sunpad with adjustable backrest beckons. There's also an optional awning that fits to the sunpad, allowing you to relax in the warmth with adequate protection overhead from too much of a good thing. (ED: The protected foredeck sunpad is a concept I have been championing for years. Very exciting to see its final execution at production-boat level.)
A large anchor on the bow is connected to a Lewmar winch housed in a well, so that anything coming up with the chain doesn't finish up on deck, and there's a remote anchor control and a seawater washdown. Large cleats are in all the right places and substantial fairleads with rollers are strategically placed.
I thought these engines were a good match to the hull, there's ample power to get you up on the plane quickly and effortlessly, she's soft riding and runs quite flat. I found that I hardly needed to use the trim tabs and I'd imagine you'd probably only use them if you were fully loaded to keep the boat on an even keel in cross winds, for example.
The sea was fairly calm on the day of our test and I found her a joy to drive - light and responsive off the wheel and very quiet underway. I found her so easy to drive, in fact, that I had to constantly remind myself that this was a 50ft boat.
My only criticism of her handling is she didn't come around at speed as tightly as I would expect from a pod-driven boat, but I suspect that says more about the settings rather than either the hull or the pods.
The Volvo Pentas are high revving engines that max out at 3500rpm, where we got the Jeanneau Prestige 500 S to 29kts. Normal cruise would be in the order of 2800rpm for around 20kts and a fuel-burn just above 100lt/h - very economical for a boat this size.

Tradeaboat says…
I guess it depends on your style of boating but anyone looking for a smart sportsyacht, a nice entertainer, with good performance, and a fair bit of wow factor, should have a serious look at the Prestige 500 S. She represents a lot of bang for your buck and while she's still a production boat rather than a bespoke offering, the styling, attention to detail and fit and finish are very smart.
Interestingingly, Jeanneau in Australia has dealers in each state who buy direct from the factory in France, thereby cutting out the middle man and additional distributor costs. These savings are passed onto the customer.
Of course, the Jeanneau Prestige 500 S doesn't pretend to be a passagemaker or a long-range cruiser. She doesn't come loaded with extra freezers, long-range fuel tanks, etc. However, she's an impressive luxury getaway, with fantastic accommodation, and a price that won't break the bank.
Finally, the 500 S comes loaded with so much good gear it's hard to relate it all here but, one thing I can almost guarantee, if this were your boat your friends would be impressed.

Federal financial aid programs will not cover any developmental courses taken after reaching the maximum 45 hours. These courses include but are not limited to any course level beginning with a zero, i.e. MATH-0900, MATH-0950, ENGL-0850, and ENGL-0950. Development courses that are no longer available are still included in determining the 45-developmental credit hour limit.
Credits earned at another institution under a Consortium Agreement will be used to determine enrollment status for the awarding of federal financial aid. Such courses will be treated in the determination of academic progress as if they were transfer credits.
All information is subject to change based on changes to federal law, regulation, or college policy and procedure. If changes are made, students must abide by the new policy.
The Financial Aid Office has a policy designating each term's Census Date as the last day a Federal Pell recalculation will be performed for the term, except for cases where the recalculation is mandated by regulations.
For Federal Pell-eligible students who are enrolled at the beginning of a term and add a course or module after the Census Date, no additional Federal Pell will be awarded to the student. If a Federal Pell-eligible student enrolls after the term's Census Date, the student will be awarded Federal Pell based on the student's enrollment status and no further recalculations of the student's Federal Pell award will be done, assuming the student begins attendance in each class.
Federal Pell recalculations will be made when the following occurs at any time during the term:
The Financial Aid office is required by federal regulation to monitor student progress toward completion of a degree. Being eligible to enroll in classes does not mean the student has an eligible Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) status for financial aid. Academic records are reviewed for all students whether the student is currently receiving financial aid or not. SAP eligibility standards apply to the following financial aid programs:
The review of a student's SAP status is based on the entire academic record. This includes developmental courses taken at SCC, incomplete courses, withdrawals and repetitions. Transfer credit hours accepted by the college will be brought into the SAP calculation as completed credits.
After each term ends, a student's SAP is calculated and posted as a notification on their HUB account. Students are notified via their SCC email account if they are not meeting minimum SAP requirements.
Students will be considered to have an eligible SAP status if they have:
A student who has not completed at least 66.7% of the total attempted credit hours (see Chart A), or is below the minimum 2.0 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is placed on Financial Aid Warning. The student has one term to correct the deficiencies in SAP. During this period, the student continues to be eligible for financial aid and is encouraged to seek tutoring or other support services for help.
Chart A
The total number of attempted credit hours are multiplied by 0.667 to obtain the minimum hours that the student must have completed successfully. For example:
Based on this chart, if a student has attempted 24 credit hours he/she must have successfully completed at least 16.01 credits. This cannot be rounded to 16 credits.
If a student does not attain SAP during the warning term, the student will be suspended from financial aid.
To remain eligible for financial aid, a student must make sufficient progress to graduate within 150% of the attempted credit hours required for their program (see Chart B).
If the degree is not completed within the timeframe allowed, the student becomes ineligible for federal financial aid.
Example: A student's program requires 90 credit hours to complete. The student has attempted 135 credit hours but still has 12 credit hours to take before completing the program. The student will not be eligible for federal student aid for the remaining 12 credit hours.
If a student has not corrected all the deficiencies in SAP after one term of Financial Aid Warning, or if a student has reached the maximum timeframe, the student becomes ineligible for financial aid.
A student who is ineligible for financial aid can become eligible for financial aid again by fulfilling one of the following conditions:
A student with unforeseen, documentable, extenuating circumstances who has been denied financial aid may appeal in writing by obtaining a SAP Appeal Form from the Financial Aid Office or online. The student must submit the appeal and documentation explaining why the SAP standards were not met. The appeal and supporting documentation must be submitted before the appeal deadline for that term. The Financial Aid Office will respond to the student via his/her SCC email account regarding the appeal. Only information submitted with the initial appeal will be considered.
For those students who are appealing because they have exceeded the maximum timeframe, the appeals committee will consider classes taken toward a second Associate's degree, transfer credits and developmental courses.
The student is responsible to pay charges for the term if the appeal is denied.
If a student's appeal is approved, they will be placed on Financial Aid Probation/Academic Plan. While in this status, the student may receive financial aid for one payment period. In order to be eligible for subsequent payment periods, the student must meet the terms of the appeal.
Financial Aid Probation/Academic Plan Terms
Additionally, for students who are on Financial Aid Probation due to the maximum timeframe rule (GSAP status), the student must:
Other requirements may be listed on the appeal approval notice.
Students who are ineligible can become eligible for financial aid by eliminating all academic deficiencies in their Satisfactory Academic Progress. These requirements are:
Students will be monitored at the end of each enrollment period for minimum SAP requirements and will have their SAP set to satisfactory status once these requirements have been met. Students will be notified via their SCC email account and are encouraged to apply for federal aid.
Currently, SCC policy allows students to appeal financial aid suspension more than once. The subsequent appeal must be based on extenuating circumstances preventing the student from being successful and the extenuating circumstances must be different from prior appeals.
A student is limited to taking 45 developmental credit hours while receiving federal financial aid. Federal financial aid programs will not cover any developmental courses taken after reaching the maximum 45 hours. These courses include but are not limited to any course level beginning with a zero, i.e. MATH-0900, MATH-0950, ENGL-0850, and ENGL-0950. Development courses that are no longer available are still included in determining the 45 developmental credit hour limit.
Students may receive financial aid for repeating courses. However, if retaking a previously passed course, financial aid can only be used for one repeat of the course even if the second attempt results in a lower grade. Any courses that are repeated will be used in the calculation of a student's Satisfactory Academic Progress status. Each repetition will count towards the attempted hours; however, only the course(s) being counted in the CGPA calculation will be counted in completed hours for SAP. Limits on repeated courses are outlined in the college catalog.
Credits earned at another institution under a Consortium Agreement will be used to determine enrollment status for the awarding of federal financial aid. Such courses will be treated in the determination of academic progress as if they were transfer credits. In the case of a Consortium Agreement, the SAP evaluations are performed based on SCC's schedule instead of the schedule of the host school.
Transfer Students – when a student transfers credit from another school to a SCC program, all credits transferred in will be considered for SAP
Per federal regulation, if a student exercises their option to have credit hours and grades removed through "Academic Bankruptcy", those credits and grades must still be included in the SAP calculation.
All information is subject to change based on changes to federal law, regulation, or college policy and procedure. If changes are made, students must abide by the new policy.
Federal law requires schools to calculate how much federal financial aid a student has earned if that student:
Based on this calculation, Southeast Community College students who receive federal financial aid and do not complete classes during an enrollment period could be responsible to repay a portion of the aid they received.
Federal financial aid covered under this regulation includes:
State grant and scholarship programs are not covered under this regulation but follow the College's institutional refund policy.
How is the financial aid that is earned by the student calculated?
Students who receive federal financial aid must "earn" the aid they receive by staying enrolled in and attending their classes. The amount of federal financial aid assistance the student earns is determined on a pro-rated basis. Students who withdraw or do not complete all registered classes during the enrollment period may be required to return some of the financial aid they were awarded.
For example, if the student completes 30 percent of the payment period, the student earns 30 percent of the aid he/she originally was scheduled to receive. This means that 70 percent of the student's scheduled awards remain unearned and must be returned to the federal government.
Once the student has completed more than 60 percent of the payment period, the student will earn all his/her federal financial aid.
The following formula is used to determine the percent of unearned aid that must be returned to the federal government:
The percent earned is equal to the number of calendar days completed up to the withdrawal date, divided by the total calendar days in the payment period (less any scheduled breaks that are at least 5 days long).
The payment period for most students is the entire enrollment period. However, for students enrolled in modules (courses which are not scheduled for the entire enrollment period), the payment period only includes those days for the module(s) in which the student is registered.
The percent unearned is equal to 100 percent minus the percent earned.
What is the withdrawal date?
The withdrawal date used in the return calculation of a student's federal financial aid is the actual date the official drop form is processed by the Registration Office or the date the student drops his/her courses on their WebAdvisor Account. If a student stops attending classes without notifying the college, the withdrawal date will be the last date of recorded attendance in class.
Who returns the unearned federal funds?
The college and the student are both responsible for returning unearned federal financial aid to the federal government. Amounts that must be returned will be applied in the following order:
The college must return the lesser of
The student must return any remaining unearned aid not sent back by the College.
The student will be billed for any amount due the college resulting from the return of federal aid funds used to cover tuition and fees. For example, if the college is required to pay back federal funds used to pay a portion of a student's tuition for the enrollment period, the student then must pay the college for the unpaid portion of his/her tuition.
How do students repay the unearned funds?
The Financial Aid office will notify students if they owe federal funds back to the government via their SCC email account. The amount returned to the federal government by the school then becomes a school debt for the student. The student will need to repay the amount returned to Southeast Community College.
What happens if students don't repay?
If a student does not pay funds due to the college, the student's records will be placed on financial hold. This means the student will not be permitted to register for classes or receive transcripts until his/her balance is paid in full.
What if the student is eligible for additional funds?
The Financial Aid office will notify students if additional federal funds can be disbursed. This is called a "post-withdrawal disbursement." Federal grants will automatically be applied toward the student's account within 45 days of determining the student withdrew. Federal Direct Loans must be accepted within 14 days of the notice; otherwise the loan funds will be cancelled. If the Federal Direct Loan post-withdrawal disbursement offer is accepted by the deadline, SCC will make the disbursement within 180 days of determining the student withdrew.
If a student officially withdraws from all classes, the Financial Aid Office will use the date of the withdrawal in the Federal Refund Calculation. If the student withdraws from classes at different times, the Financial Aid Office will use the withdrawal date of the last class from which the student withdrew. The Federal Refund Calculation will determine how much financial aid must be returned to the Department of Education.
If the student receives all "F" grades, or a combination of all "F", "W", or "NP" grades, the College must assume he/she has unofficially withdrawn from the College. Instructors are required to enter a last date of attendance when submitting these grades. The most recent last date of attendance for the "F", "W", and/or "NP" grades will be used in the Federal Refund Calculation.
Once it is determined how much federal aid must be returned, the funds will be returned in the following order as required:
If you have questions about withdrawing from the College and the impact on your financial aid you are encouraged to contact the Financial Aid Office at 402-471-3333.
Authority: 34 CFR §668.51-61s
Verification is the process of confirming the accuracy of student reported data on financial aid applications. Only a portion of the student population is selected for verification.
The Financial Aid Office verifies those applicants identified by the Central Processing Service (CPS). Typically, the selection criterion translates into verifying thirty percent of the financial aid population at SCC. In addition, Aid Administrators may select a student for verification if there is a discrepancy or a condition which is unusual and warrants investigation. Due to increasing instances of fraud or misuse of Federal Student Aid funds, which is a nation-wide concern, all distance-learning students are institutionally selected for verification.
Listed below are certain circumstances where students do not have to complete verification. The Financial Aid Technician must identify and document in the student record why the student is not required to complete verification:
Regulations allow situations when verification of household size is not required. The Financial Aid Office does not have a systematic way to track these exclusions.
All students selected for verification in groups V1 or V5 must submit a response to the household size question on the Verification Worksheet.
If SCC has conflicting information for an applicant or has any reason to believe his/her application information is incorrect, SCC is required to resolve any discrepancies discovered in a student's file.
SCC verifies only those data elements required by the federal government. However, the Financial Aid technician may ask for additional information if further investigation is needed to resolve a discrepancy.
For Verification for the 2017-2018 award year, acceptable documentation listed in the Federal Register Volume 81, No. 63, published Friday, April 1, 2016 and Dear Colleague Letter GEN-16-07.
Per Dear Colleague Letter GEN-17-04 issued April 24, 2017, due to the suspension of the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (IRS DRT), ED is providing flexibilities schools may choose to use as part of their Verification procedures.
Effective immediately (April 24, 2017), these flexibilities apply to both the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 FAFSA Processing cycles. The new guidance replaces the guidance provided in the October 18, 2016 Electronic Announcement (noted below)
The new flexibilities include:
For IRS Tax Return Filers - In lieu of using the IRS DRT, or obtaining an IRS transcript, a school may consider a signed paper copy of the 2015 IRS tax return submitted to the IRS as acceptable documentation to verify FAFSA/ISIR tax return information.
Verification of Nonfiling – Schools are no longer required to collect documentation obtained from the IRS or other tax authorities verifying that the applicant, the applicant's spouse or the applicant's parents did not file a 2015 tax return (often referred to as Verification of Nonfiling). However, as currently required, the applicant, the applicant's spouse or the applicant's parents, as applicable, must provide to the school—
The Financial Aid Technician verifies applicants identified by ED. The Financial Aid Technician may also select a student for verification if there is a discrepancy or a condition which is unusual and warrants investigation (i.e., out of state student, number in household, and conflict in EFC).
If a student submits verification documentation, but was not selected (i.e., tax transcript, W2's), the Financial Aid Office staff must verify the information on the document against the information on the FAFSA. If discrepancies are found corrections must be made.
Because the Financial Aid Office is liable for disbursements made prior to verification, the Financial Aid Office policy does not allow interim disbursements. Students must complete the verification process before aid is awarded or disbursed. There are no exceptions.
If aid is awarded and disbursed, and afterward a new corrected ISIR transaction is received which selects the student for verification, all future aid must be cancelled until the verification process has been completed.
Students selected for verification will be directed to either go into the FAFSA and complete the IRS transfer or contact the IRS and request an IRS Tax transcript.
Per an Electronic Announcement issued by ED, dated April 24, 2017, for the remainder of the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 FAFSA Award Year verification process, a signed paper copy of a IRS tax return (IRS 1040, IRS 1040A, IRS 1040EZ) is considered acceptable documentation for income and tax related verification information.
If the Financial Aid Technician finds it necessary to verify conflicting information, the student may be requested to provide additional information.
If a student is married but his/her spouse is a non-citizen and not residing in the U.S., the IRS allows the student to file as single if the student meets the criteria for filing as Head of Household for the tax year.
If a student indicates he/she is married but is filing as single, the student must have met the requirements for and must have filed as Head of Household and the student must provide:
If the student does not meet the requirements for filing as Head of Household, the student must have filed as married (married filing jointly, or married filing separately) unless they meet the requirements of other statuses such as widowed or divorced during the tax year.
Students are initially notified of being selected for verification from the Department of Education through an email or paper Student Aid Report (SAR). In addition, the tracking letter sent out from the financial aid office indicates to the student he/she has been selected for verification.
Upon receipt of the FAFSA, when the student record is activated after receipt of a federal transmission, a tracking letter (email) listing missing items is sent to the student. This email informs the student of any additional information required to complete his/her financial aid file.
If the student is selected for verification, the tracking letter requests the appropriate verification documents (i.e., verification form, student and parent tax transcripts, etc.). Students are informed the majority of financial aid funds are awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis and that the file will not be processed further until the missing items are submitted to the Financial Aid Office.
Tracking letters are sent to students every 30 days informing the student of documents or information still outstanding for Verification. This process is handled electronically and notifications are sent out to students by email. If an email is rejected, then a Missing Information Letter is sent to the student by postal mail. If a student submits an incomplete document, it is returned for completion. If a student does not submit the required information in the appropriate time span, the application will become inactive and no further correspondence will be sent.
Documentation submitted to the Financial Aid Office must be legible, appropriate, and have the student's Social Security Number or Colleague ID number for identification purposes. If the student submits a document which is not legible or appropriate (i.e., a copy of a tax transcript in which the income numbers are not identifiable or a verification worksheet missing a signature), the documents will be returned and a request for additional documentation or corrections is requested. The return of documentation is recorded on the Colleague system as "incomplete" and a comment is made in the verification section of Colleague.
Students who fail to submit verification documents never have completed files so aid is not awarded to these students.
If a student submits documentation which appears fraudulent, the Financial Aid Office staff member must notify the Administrative Director of Financial Aid.
Once the requested information is received, Verification is completed, corrections are sent to the Central Processing System (CPS), corrections are imported into the Colleague system (within 3 business days) and an award notification email is sent out to the student with instructions on how to log in to SCC's HUB/Web Advisor for Students to accept or reject his/her financial aid offer.
Required documentation items are tracked on the Colleague system and a missing document CRI code, along with a CRI tracking letter code are kept on the student's computer file. When documents arrive, Financial Aid staff will enter a receipt date beside the document name on the Colleague tracking screen. When all required documents are received, the student is considered "complete" and ready to be verified. The Financial Aid Technician runs reports to determine which students are "complete".
Students assigned to the V4 or V5 Verification Tracking Group will have 45 days to supply the requested information. SCC must report back to the Central Processing System (CPS) within 60 days of sending out the first tracking letter.
To submit the verification results for Tracking Groups V4 and V5, the Administrative Director of Financial Aid will report the information via the CPS Online website. Results may be submitted either individually or as a flat file for up to 2,000 students.
Corrections to the FAFSA data are submitted to CPS via the CAPX function on the Colleague system. In order for verification to be completed and aid to be awarded, all required documentation must be received within 120 days after the last day of the student's enrollment. Any necessary corrections to the FAFSA data must be submitted through FAA Access to CPS Online by the date announced annually by the Department of Education in the Federal Register.
In order for the student to receive his/her financial aid offer the student must be accepted to the College in a degree seeking program. Students are notified of the results of verification in the form of an Award Notification email. The student is given instructions to log into the HUB/Web Advisor for Students at (thehub.southeast.edu), Financial Aid, Financial Aid Award Letter) to view the financial aid offer. By clicking on the Financial Aid Award Letter option, the student is given the Terms and Conditions to read and are required to enter the Financial Aid Year in order to view his/her financial aid offer. Once the student has viewed his/her offer the student needs to accept or reject the student loan offer. At Web Advisor for Students, Financial Aid, the student clicks on "Accept/reject my student loan awards". The student is again given the Terms and Conditions to read, along with instructions and a link for completing a Master Promissory Note (MPN) and Entrance Counseling at www.studentloans.gov.
The Department of Education published regulations
which affect students who repeat courses. These regulations may impact your
financial aid eligibility and awards, including Pell Grant, SEOG Grant, Direct
Loans, and Federal Work-Study. Regulations prevent the Financial Aid Office
from paying for a course that has been passed and repeated more than one time.
In order for a repeated course to be counted towards your enrollment status for
financial aid purposes, you may only repeat a previously passed course once (a
total of two attempts). If you enroll in a previously repeated and passed
course for a third time, this course will not count toward your enrollment for
financial aid purposes and no aid may be
paid for the third repetition of that course. Examples of repeated courses:
