Calculating Federal Methodology
ATC uses Federal Methodology to calculate need for students. ATC’s academic calendar is from July 1 – June 30. The academic year is divided into 2 semesters and 1 mini-mester (summer semester). This is a total of 40 weeks in the academic year. Full time is 12 credit hours and academic progress is measured in semester credit hours. A payment term is one semester with two (2) equal payment terms in an academic year. Standard Adjustments to Need Analysis
Professional judgment may be used by the Assistant Director to adjust the cost of attendance on a case-by-case basis to allow for special circumstances.
