The US Department of Education has determined that the San Joaquin County Office of Education (dba Teachers College of San Joaquin) satisfies the definition of an eligible institution for the purpose of granting to regular students at the institution an in-school deferment of repayment of Federal Direct Student Loans.
Although students attending Teachers College of San Joaquin are not eligible at this time to apply for Federal Student Aid to pay for their tuition and fees, students may qualify to take advantage of the American Opportunity and Lifetime Learning tax credits. Eligible students will be issued a Form 1098-T showing the amount of qualified tuition and related expenses paid during the January-December calendar year. It is the student’s responsibility to check with their tax advisor regarding eligible tax credits.
Since Federal Student Aid is not an option, we have implemented an interest-free payment plan for all our students, and offer two convenient options for payment: monthly or per semester. This way, you can choose the payment schedule that suits you best.
GRADE POLICIES
INC – “INCOMPLETE”: An Incomplete is granted at the discretion of the instructor. The instructor will notify the program coordinator or director when assigning an Incomplete. An Incomplete is changed to the grade earned if work is not completed within the timeframe as agreed upon with the instructor. The grade earned will be based on the entirety of the course with incomplete work calculated as zeros. If the grade becomes a failing grade, the student must contact the program coordinator or director, re-enroll in the course, and assume responsibility for all fees associated with repeating the course.
GRADUATE STUDIES WITHDRAWAL – “W”: Students who are in the Administrative Preliminary, Master’s, Mathematics Instructional Added Authorization and Residency@TCSJ programs can withdraw from a course up to 50% of completion to earn a grade of W. After this point, students who withdraw will earn the cumulative grade based on the entirety of the course with incomplete work calculated as zeros. If a grade of C- or lower is earned, the student will be placed on academic probation (see Academic Performance, Progress, and/or Conduct and Disposition: Probation Policy and Procedures). Students who withdraw after the start of the second session will incur full tuition for the course, as well as for the same course if it is retaken.
IMPACT WITHDRAWAL – “W”: While employed as an IMPACT University Intern, students must maintain concurrent enrollment in the two-year sequence of courses leading to program completion. All IMPACT students are expected to make adequate progress towards completion of their program. Course withdrawals are only considered when there are extenuating circumstances and there is an agreement between the program and the student (and the employer for credential students) that the withdrawal is in the best interest of the student. Students who withdraw after the start of the second session will incur full tuition for the course, as well as for the same course if it is retaken.

A student who has taken federal loans prior to entering Teachers College of San Joaquin, may qualify for deferment of those loans while enrolled at TCSJ. Students will need to obtain the deferment paperwork from their lenders, complete their section, and forward to the signed copy to our Registrar for completion. The Registrar will complete the paperwork for students enrolled in eligible programs and submit it to the lender.
It is the student’s responsibility to follow up with their lenders to be sure that the deferment has been approved and received by the lender in order to avoid a negative impact on their credit by missing monthly loan payments. Each lender has their own policy on how often they will verify enrollment status; therefore, students will need to ask their lender if a deferment form must be submitted each semester while enrolled, or only once at the beginning of each academic year. Students who are denied a supplemental loan are often denied because they did not file for deferment. The lender does not know that the student wants to defer payments on loans unless the student informs them by submitting either an electronic or paper deferment form.
