West Virginia: Financial-Aid Foul-Up Still Stings at State (Charleston Gazette)

"Some West Virginia State University students are still upset because they have not received financial aid money, but university officials said they are only abiding by proper rules in disbursing financial aid," the Charleston Gazette reports. "[S]tudents and parents called Wednesday to complain of financial aid problems after Sally Burger, the school's interim director for student financial assistance, said in Wednesday's Gazette that she hoped the problems were remedied after 26 students had been temporarily dropped from their classes. Beyond those 26 students, Burger said Wednesday, students who did not turn in their Free Application for Federal Student Aid [FAFSA] and related documents by June 30 are 'not going to get their money real quick.' Burger, who started in February, said she's strictly enforcing university, state and federal rules that had been loosely adhered to in the past."

Community Colleges Introducing Shortcuts to Two-Year Degrees

Although many students are able to complete their associate degrees in two years, a number of community colleges are looking to shorten students’ time at their institutions even further. The changes at one school alone have included moving from semesters to trimesters, shortening courses from 16 to 14 weeks, and offering more options for degree completion in the summer, when most schools offer fewer classes than in the fall and spring terms. An article this week in Inside Higher Ed suggests more community colleges are looking to meet the call from the Obama administration and organizations like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to get students out in the real world with degrees before they drop out. President Obama is placing great weight on the power of community colleges to double the number of graduates in the United States by 2020. At Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College , for example, all students are able to earn an associate degree in just 14-16 months if they complete one course every two weeks under the school’s trimester system. According to Inside Higher Ed, about a quarter of the students there have been graduating in a shorter amount of time
