Behavioral Intervention Team

San Juan College is concerned about the health and safety of our students, our faculty and our staff. We are committed to providing an environment where individuals are free to work, learn and teach unencumbered and uninhibited by threats of intimidation or harm. To this end, the College has established the Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT). 

The Team consists of an interdisciplinary committee of qualified college officials who meet bi-weekly or more often to review reports and monitor behaviors which have the potential to negatively impact the college environment. These professionals will investigate the concerning behavior and seek to improve a student’s experience on campus. If the student identified in the referral has challenges, SJC is here to partner with the student in implementing strategies to help the student solve through any difficulties or challenges that might be precluding them from reaching their goals. When referrals are received, as members of the SJC Family, we want the student’s experience on campus to be safe and enjoyable - and for others to feel less worried about them.

BIT reporting is for non-emergency situations only.  In the event of an emergency call 911 immediately.

Reports can be made via any one of three easily accessible avenues: www.sanjuancollege.edu/about/student-conduct/behavioral-intervention-team
Email at bit@sanjuancollege.edu
By phone at (505) 566-3318

Reports are confidential.  The person of concern will be contacted if deemed appropriate after the team discusses the information and decides on the best approach.     

Typical behaviors that should be reported include, but are not limited to:

• Disruptive behavior
• Concerning behavior
• Possession of a weapon or weapons on campus
• Emotionally troubled individuals (i.e. depression/suicidal thinking)
• Hostile, threatening or aggressive behavior
• Alarming references or infatuation with fires, firearms or bombs
• Acts or plans motivated by hatred or discrimination
• Alcohol or drug abuse
• Drastic, unexpected behavior change

When wondering whether or not to make a report keep in mind the following: If you see something, say something.

Financial Aid

Financial Aid and Admissions

San Juan College does not provide any commission, bonus, or other incentive payment based directly or indirectly on securing enrollments or federal financial aid (including Tuition Assistance funds) to any persons or entities engaged in any student recruiting, admission activities, or making decisions regarding the award of student financial assistance.

San Juan College does not use high-pressure recruitment tactics such as making multiple unsolicited contacts (3 or more), including contacts by phone, email, or in-person, and engaging in same-day recruitment and registration for the purpose of securing Service member enrollments.

Overview of Financial Aid at San Juan College

The Financial Aid Office is committed to helping students access higher education by educating students, their families, and the San Juan College community about financial assistance programs and eligibility criteria. Financial Aid programs are administered according to Department of Education’s federal regulations and the New Mexico Higher Education Department’s policies and guidelines for state aid programs.

The basic premise of financial aid is to supplement, not replace, what the family can contribute toward educational expenses. Students have an obligation to be responsible for contributing a reasonable portion towards their educational expenses. However, a lack of funding should not keep a student from obtaining a post-secondary education.

We stress the importance of early financial planning and timely communication since the financial aid process can be very complicated and often time-consuming. As part of a learning college environment, we take steps to ensure that students understand the financial aid process and the implications of using various types of financial assistance before attending school, while enrolled, and the responsibilities following graduation.

Applying to Receive Financial Aid

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is used to apply for all types of federal and state need-based aid. It is the first step to applying for the federal student loans. You may apply at http://www.studentaid.gov. Be sure to include San Juan College’s school code on the FAFSA Application (002660). The FAFSA application opens October 1^st each year. We encourage students to submit or renew their annual FAFSA Applications as soon as possible to ensure their application is processed prior to payment deadlines and/or the start of semester classes.

Verification

If selected for the “verification process”, you must submit any requested documents to the Financial Aid Office in a timely manner. Failure to submit documents in a timely manner may delay processing of your financial aid application. Any student owing a refund or repayment of a loan, grant and/or in default of a student loan will be denied financial aid at this institution.

Eligibility Criteria

All prospective students must be regularly admitted to San Juan College to receive an offer of financial assistance. High School or GED official transcripts and prior college official academic transcripts must be sent to the Records Office for aid to be processed.

Students who do not have a high school diploma or a recognized equivalent (e.g., GED) or do not meet the home school requirements, and who first enroll in a program of study on or after July 1, 2012, will not be eligible to receive Title IV student aid. Students may qualify for Title IV student aid under one of the ability-to-benefit (ATB) alternatives if the student was enrolled in a Title IV eligible program prior to July 1, 2012.

PELL LEU

Pell Grant “Lifetime Eligibility Used” (LEU) allows 12 semesters (full time attendance) of funding which is equivalent of six years of Pell Grant funding. Once a student reaches the LEU, no additional Pell Grant funding is available. Ask your financial aid office for more information if needed.

Types of Aid

Financial Aid awarding is based on need, academic achievement, and/or the promise of academic success. The Financial Aid Office at San Juan College provides grants, loans, scholarships and work-study opportunities to eligible students based on financial need or scholastic ability.

At San Juan College, a student’s cost of attendance includes the following components:

• Direct Costs Tuition & Fees, Room & Board
• Indirect Costs: Books & Supplies, Transportation, Personal Expenses, and Childcare Costs (if applicable)

Available types of financial aid include:

Grants: Awards that typically are based on financial need and do not need to be repaid after graduation. Examples include the Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), and New Mexico Student Incentive Grant (SSIG);
Scholarships: Awards made to students based on outstanding grades, high school or college activities, specific college majors, or other specified criteria;
Work-study: Allows you to earn part of your financial aid eligibility by working part time on campus and getting paid based on the hours worked.
Loans: Allows a student or parent to borrow money to pay for college related costs. This type of aid requires borrowers to pay back money borrowed. Based on the type of loan (Subsidized, Unsubsidized, or PLUS), interest rates are low and do not accrue until after leaving college. A student must be registered in no less than 6 eligible credit hours to qualify for a federal direct loan disbursement.

Annual Max Award Amounts for the 2026-2027 Aid Year

Legislative Lottery Scholarships

The New Mexico Legislative Lottery Scholarship currently covers tuition costs for New Mexico high school graduates and GED completers up to 18 credit hours. Students must enroll full-time at a public post-secondary educational institution in New Mexico within sixteen months of graduation or receipt of a high equivalency credential and maintain continuous full-time enrollment. Eligible home-schooled students must complete a New Mexico GED prior to completing their first full-time semester with San Juan College (the qualifying semester).

• Gaining Eligibility
  • Complete 12 or more credit hours and earn a 2.5 grade point average (GPA) or better during the initial or ‘qualifying’ semester at a two-year school.
• Continuing Eligibility
  • Students must enroll and complete full-time enrollment of 12 or more credit hours and maintain a minimum 2.5 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) (including grades earned through dual credit classes).
• Length of Scholarship
  • Limited to three (3) consecutive semesters of Lottery eligibility at a two-year college.

If a student transfers to a four-year New Mexico college or university, a student may receive an additional four consecutive semesters of eligibility. This requires the completion of 15 or more credit hours and maintaining the 2.5 CGPA. Funds earned at a four-year school apply to the three-semester limit at a two-year school.

New Mexico Opportunity Scholarship

The New Mexico Opportunity Scholarship provides tuition/fee coverage for NM residents pursuing certificates, associate, or bachelor’s degrees at eligible in-state colleges, requiring at least 6 credit hours, a minimum 2.5 GPA, no prior bachelor’s/advanced degrees, and continuous enrollment (Fall/Spring). Funding in the summer term is for 3 to 9 credit hours. Summer is not required to maintain the award. It’s for returning students or those ineligible for the Lottery Scholarship, covering tuition and fees for NM residents meeting these academic and residency criteria. Still complete the FAFSA. If you qualify to receive federal aid such as a Pell Grant, you can put this money toward other college costs like books, housing, meal plans, transportation, etc. For more information, talk with your San Juan College Financial Aid Advisor. You can also visit https://hed.nm.gov/free-college-for-new-mexico.

SJC Foundation Scholarships

More than 300 individually sponsored scholarships are available through the SJC Foundation Office at San Juan College for qualified students. You must reapply each year for consideration. Priority deadline for scholarship applications is March 1 of each academic year. The scholarship application is located at http://www.sjcfoundation.org, along with more information about each scholarship’s eligibility criteria.

Student Loans

San Juan College participates in the William D. Ford Federal Direct loan program. Loan comes directly from the U.S. Department of Education rather than a bank or other lending institution. The federal government remains the lender for the life of the loan and the loan will not be sold.

Students must be enrolled in at least six (6) credit hours and meet SAP requirements of a minimum 2.0 grade point average and 67% completion rate. Federal Direct Loans have need-based (subsidized) and non-need based (unsubsidized) components. A student loan is a serious, long-term commitment and it is important that all loan borrowers fully understand their rights and responsibilities prior to borrowing a student loan. First-time student borrowers must complete entrance counseling, complete the master promissory note, and a loan seminar before being certified for a student loan. Students must complete an exit interview session upon graduation or at any time that they drop below six credit hours. You can locate information and the application for Student Loans at www.sanjuancollege.edu/financialaid, go to “Types of Aid”, then scroll down to “Student Loans” for details.

Work-study

Students seeking part-time employment while attending San Juan College may apply for work-study. Students must be enrolled for at least six credit hours to be eligible for Federal or State work study. Available positions are posted with the Career Services Office, as it allows the opportunity for resume writing, cover letter assistance, interview skills, and career assessments. To apply, students must complete the steps that begin with the Financial Aid Office, such as complete the FAFSA and submit any needed paperwork required for FAFSA processing.

Satisfactory Academic Progress

Students must meet a minimum standard of academic performance in their course work and progression toward a degree. All students’ academic progress is reviewed at the conclusion of every semester to determine eligibility for assistance. There are three major components to San Juan College’s Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy:

Grade Point Average: Students are required to maintain a cumulative grade point average of a 2.0 or above.

Completion Rate: Students must successfully complete at least 67% of the total credit hours they attempt. Classes in which grades of A, B, C, D or CR are earned will be considered as completed. Courses with assigned grades of F, W, AW, I, NC, X, and “repeated” courses all count as attempted credit hours. All accepted, attempted credit hours from any college (including non-degree hours) are counted whether or not financial aid was received. This calculation includes all hours in which a student is registered at the time of withdrawal. Developmental coursework up to 30 credit hours are exempt from the calculation. Coursework taken as an audit is not counted in the student’s total course load for the purposes of financial aid eligibility.

Maximum Time Frame: Undergraduate students must complete their program of study within 150% of the published length of the program, measured in credit hours attempted. Example: if the published length of the academic program is 68 credits, the maximum time frame is 102 attempted credits. Students attempting any more than 102 credits would be placed on suspension for exceeding Maximum Time Frame. All accepted, attempted credit hours from any college, including non-degree hours, and hours attempted in completing a prior certificate or degree will count toward the maximum allowable credits regardless of whether financial aid was received. Courses with assigned grades of F, W, AW, I, NC, X, and “repeated” courses all count as attempted credit hours.

All standards are reviewed at the conclusion of each semester. Should the student fail to meet the criteria listed above, he or she could lose eligibility to receive financial aid at San Juan College. Appeals will be allowed for students with circumstances beyond their control.
