联邦学生财政援助对毒品违规的处罚

A federal or state drug conviction can disqualify students for federal financial aid.  根据高等教育法第485条和第484r条, students become ineligible for federal student aid upon conviction during any period of enrollment of any offense involving the possession or sale of illegal drugs. 

Students who are currently enrolled 和 are completing the Free Application for Federal Student 援助 (FAFSA) will be asked: “Have you been convicted for the possession or sale of illegal drugs for an offense that occurred while you were receiving federal student aid?”

如果你回答“是的。,” you will be asked an additional series of questions to determine if the conviction affects your eligibility for federal student aid.

If you have been convicted of a federal or state offense of selling or possessing illegal drugs that occurred while you were receiving federal student aid, you should still complete 和 submit the FAFSA to determine if there is aid for which you are still eligible. 如果你不回答这个问题, you cannot receive federal financial aid until you respond by making a correction to your FAFSA.

A student  convicted of the possession or sale of illegal drugs loses Title IV eligibility for a period of time specified by federal law. The period of ineligibility depends on whether the conviction was for possession or sale of (including conspiring to sell) illegal drugs.

For convictions involving possession, the periods of ineligibility are as follows:

• 一次定罪:自定罪之日起一年内.

• Two convictions: two years after the date of the second conviction.

• Three or more convictions: indefinite from the date of the third conviction

For convictions involving sale, the periods of ineligibility are as follows:

• 一次定罪:自定罪之日起两年.

• Two or more convictions: indefinite from the date of the second conviction.

A federal or state drug conviction can disqualify a student for federal financial aid.

Convictions only count if they were for an offense that occurred during a period of enrollment for which you were receiving Title IV aid—they do not count if the offense was not during such a period. 也, 一项被推翻的判决, 拨出, 或者从你的记录中除名不算数, 当你还是个少年的时候，也没有人收到过, 除非这个学生以成年人身份受审.

重新获得资格

You regain eligibility the day after the period of ineligibility ends or when you successfully complete a qualified drug rehabilitation program. 再犯毒品罪会让你再次失去资格.

如果你的资格被无限期暂停, you may regain eligibility only by successfully completing a drug rehabilitation program. 如果你被处以1年或2年的罚款, you may regain eligibility before the expiration of the period of ineligibility by successfully completing a drug rehabilitation program. If you successfully complete an approved drug rehabilitation program, eligibility is regained on the date you successfully complete the program. It is your responsibility to certify to the school that you have successfully completed the rehabilitation program.

为了让你符合资格, the drug rehabilitation program must include at least two unannounced drug tests, 和:

• have received or be qualified to receive funds directly or indirectly under a Federal, 状态, or local 政府ernment program; or

• be administered or recognized by a Federal, 状态, or local 政府ernment agency or court; or

• have received or be qualified to receive payment directly or indirectly from a Federally- or 状态-licensed insurance company; or

• be administered or recognized by a Federally- or 状态-licensed hospital, 健康诊所或医生.
