MISSION STATEMENT:
To educate for a rewarding career.
Philosophy and Goals:
Hamilton Tech:
1. Provides quality education that emphasizes practical skills
2. Employs a highly skilled and dedicated faculty
3. Prepares you with a strong knowledge base and the experience needed to succeed in your chosen field.
We strive to:
1. Evaluate and update educational programs on a continual basis through feedback from our Program
Advisory Committee and business industry
2. Provide modern facilities and equipment
3. Help you realize your full potential through motivation and encouragement
Our programs emphasize real-world training that is tailored to meet the needs of potential employers. The fields of
study focus on industries that offer solid, long-term, career opportunities for graduates.
History:
Hamilton Tech has been proud to provide the Quad City area quality technical training for over 40 years. From our
humble beginning in 1969 as the Academy of Radio and Television (ART) in Bettendorf, IA to becoming Hamilton
rd
Technical College on 53 and Tremont in Davenport, IA, we have grown with the community and we continue to
train students to meet the needs of employers.
Our founder, Charles Hamilton, Jr., began the college by preparing students to take the Federal Communications
Commission examination for broadcasting. While teaching students around his kitchen table he envisioned going
beyond test preparation to training students to be broadcasters. Soon his vision expanded with the needs of the
employers in the community and an Electronics program developed in 1978. In 1980, as the program grew, the
name was changed to Hamilton Technical College. Hamilton Tech in the 1990’s responded to a need in our
medical community by creating a Medical Assisting Technology Program and in 2006 the Medical Billing and
Coding program was started. In an effort to define our two distinct program areas, Hamilton Tech created the
School of Technology (including Electronics Engineering Technology AS and BS degree programs) and the School
of Allied Health (including Medical Assisting Technology and Medical / Insurance Coding Specialist Program).
As we celebrate our accomplishments for the last 40 years, we are keeping our eyes on the future educational and
employment needs of our community.

Hamilton Tech is a unique school and it is not for everyone. The first step in the admissions process is an
interview.
During the interview, you will meet with an admissions representative to discuss your goals and whether or not the
school is a good match for you. If your goals and the school are a good match, then the admissions representative
can help you apply. Throughout your education at Hamilton Tech, your admissions representative will continue to

STUDENT FINANCIAL
SERVICES
14
Don’t let the fear of Financial Aid keep you from reaching your goals. Help is just an application away!
You will have a personal consultation with the Financial Services Department to begin the financial aid process. We
provide outstanding customer service and will assist you (and your parents, if appropriate) with the required
paperwork.
Hamilton Tech is committed to assisting you in developing financial plans for your education. A variety of methods
for meeting school expenses are available. To help select which methods best suit your needs we ask you to start
by completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (or FAFSA). This form is used by the Department of
Education to calculate various educational expenses and to determine what responsibility you/your family may
have.
One to two weeks after we have received your FAFSA we will discuss your financial aid package (what is available
to you and what you still need). To the extent possible, you/your family are expected to contribute financially
toward your education. Self-help may include, but is not limited to: cash or credit card payments directly to
Hamilton Tech, part-time job earnings, assistance from outside agencies or other family members.
If you do not need financial assistance you are not required to complete a FAFSA. Please contact our Financial
Services Department to discuss payment options. If you do need financial assistance, you are required to complete
a FAFSA. Failure to submit the required paperwork within the requisite time period may result in a request for full
payment of tuition and fees.
Financial Assistance
To help students pay for their education after high school, the United States Department of Education offers three
major financial aid programs. Hamilton Tech is eligible to participate in the following programs:
1. Pell Grant Program
2. Federal Direct Student Loan Program
a. Federal Direct Subsidized Loans
b. Federal Direct Unsubsidized Stafford Loans
c. Federal Direct PLUS Loans for Parents
3. Veterans Educational Benefits
In general, students are eligible for aid if they:
1. are enrolled at least half time as regular students in an eligible program;
2. are U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens (i.e. permanent residents)
3. show that they meet the need requirements specified;
4. make satisfactory academic progress toward completing their course of study;
5. are not in default on a PERKINS (NDSL), STAFFORD (GSL), SLS or PLUS loan;
6. do not owe a refund on a Pell Grant or SEOG;
7. have filed a signed Statement of Educational Purpose/Registration Compliance with the college, as
required by law of both males and females.
Pell Grants
Pell Grants provide money to help undergraduates (who have not earned a Bachelor’s Degree) pay for their
education after high school. The Pell Grant Program is the largest of the federal Student Aid Programs. Unlike
loans, grants do not have to be paid back. For many students, these grants provide a “foundation” of financial aid,
to which aid from other federal and nonfederal sources may be added. The government requires any student
applying for any type of financial aid program to apply for Pell Grants. Forms for application for Pell Grants are
available at Hamilton Tech.
Federal Direct Loan Programs
Federal Direct Subsidized Loan Program
Under the Federal Direct Stafford Loan program, students can apply for a loan to help pay the cost of their tuition,
books, supplies, fees and living expenses. Such loans are available through the Department of Education.
Students who use the loan program qualify for a “no-interest” provision while they are in school and for the first six
months after graduation. This loan must be repaid.
15
The amount of money a student may borrow will depend on the results of the needs test, but may not exceed
$3,500 per academic year (two semesters) for the first year of undergraduate study; $4,500 per academic year for
rd th
the second year of undergraduate study; $5,500 for the 3 and 4 year for students enrolled in an associate or
bachelor’s program. Students begin repaying the loan 6 months after they graduate or discontinue their studies.
The minimum monthly payment is usually $50. Repayment of these loans is usually completed in 10 years or less.
When a student leaves school, the Department of Education contacts the student to establish a repayment
schedule.
Students are required to notify the Financial Services Office and the Department of Education of any change in
local or permanent address. More information is available from the Financial Services Office.
Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan Program
A dependent undergraduate student may borrow up to a maximum of $2000 per academic year under this loan
st nd
program. Independent borrowers may take up to a maximum of $6000 for the 1 and 2 academic years.
st nd
Independent borrowers who have successfully completed 1 and 2 academic years may take up to a maximum of
rd
$7000 for 3 academic year and beyond in undergraduate status. These loans must be repaid. Students begin
paying interest on Unsubsidized loans while attending school and are required to enter repayment on the principal
balance of these loans six months after leaving school. More information is available from the Financial Services
office.
Federal Direct PLUS Loans (PLUS) Program
Parents of dependent students (dependent by federal definition) may borrow under a federal student aid program
called Federal Direct PLUS Loan Program (Federal Parent Loans to Undergraduate Students). This loan may not
exceed the student’s estimated cost of attendance minus any estimated financial assistance the student has been
or will be awarded during the period of enrollment. The current interest rate for this program is variable, not to
exceed 9 percent. Parent borrowers begin repayment within 30 days after the loan is issued. More information is
available from the Financial Services Office.
Student Responsibilities
Students receiving financial aid in the form of grants will be responsible for repaying any monies given to them that
become unearned due to termination of training.
Students receiving financial aid in the form of Federal Direct Student Loans are responsible to start paying back the
loans six months after termination or graduation.
Verification of Financial Aid Information
The federal government will require some federal student aid applicants to prove that what they have reported on
their application is correct. Hamilton Tech requires financial aid applicants to submit the required documentation to
verify their information before awarded aid is disbursed to them. As part of this process, students and their parents
are required to submit a copy of their prior year’s Federal Income Tax Return. Others documents may also be
required. If the information or any of the documents conflict with what was reported on the application, students
may be required to provide additional information. Failure to provide the required documentation may result in the
loss or nonreceipt of aid awarded.
Payment of Tuition
If you have a balance with Hamilton Tech, after meeting with Student Financial Services, you will need to schedule
tuition payments. Once these tuition payments have been arranged, you are expected to make your payments on
time. If you do not comply with tuition payment arrangements and requirements, you may be terminated.
If you terminate your training or your training is terminated, the amount of tuition and fees charged for the period of
enrollment is determined. The catalog insert and training contract give detailed explanation of how tuition and fee
charges are calculated in the event of student termination.
16
All students receiving Title IV funds are subject to regulations set forth in 34 CFR 668.22, Return of Title IV funds.
The provisions of 34 CFR 668.22 will be made available upon request
If you desire information on student financial aid, you should contact Student Financial Services at Hamilton Tech.
You may call, write or visit the Financial Services Office at 1011 E. 53rd Street, Davenport, Iowa 52807, phone
(563) 386-3570.
Information Concerning Students Who Are Called To Military Service
Due to recent military activation, it is possible that some students in the National Guard and Reserves will be called
to active duty.
This policy applies to:
A. Students who are called to active state or federal duty or,
B. A student who is the spouse of a member of the National Guard or US Armed
Forces reserve if the student and his/her spouse have a dependent child.
Hamilton Technical College recognizes and appreciates the important contributions made in service of our country
by these men and women. In support of these students, Hamilton Technical College has developed the following
options:
1. Withdraw the entire registration and 100% of the tuition and mandatory fees would be refunded.
2. If arrangements are made with your instructor for grades or incompletes (to be made up later) you status
would remain “active” and tuition and mandatory fees would be assessed in full.
The option you choose obviously depends on the point in the session when the student is called to active duty.
Financial aid is refunded in accordance with existing College and Federal policies for each of the above situations.
Inquiries should be directed to Student Financial Services. These procedures do not apply to reservists who are
fulfilling their annual two-week active duty.
In addition to the above mentioned policy there are implications related to any financial aid you may have through
the various federal programs. The rules on these are not necessarily within the control of this institution.
Consultation with Student Financial Services is advised as soon as convenient.
Student Financial Aid Refunds
If you receive financial aid and withdraw from school, the school will calculate the amount of financial aid assistance
you did not earn and those funds will be returned to the proper agency or you. The following guidelines will be
used to determine the amount of aid that needs to be returned.
Consultation with the Student Financial Services is advised as soon as convenient.
If you are a resident of the State of Iowa, and you withdraw or are withdrawn from Hamilton Tech, the following
refund policy may apply:
Hamilton Tech shall provide a terminating student with a tuition refund of 90% of the tuition based upon the ratio of
remaining number of school days to the total school days of the term.
1. Refunds shall be provided within 30 days following the withdrawal.
2. If you withdraw from a semester you shall not be charged any fee or other monetary penalty for a semester
other than a reduction in the tuition refund as specified in this section.
3. If you withdraw from Hamilton Tech due to physical incapacity or moving outside of the area (due to
spouse’s employment) and provide documentation supporting this, you shall receive a refund of tuition in
an amount which equals the amount of tuition multiplied by the ratio of the remaining number of school
days to the total school days of the term.

Program Completion Rate
Hamilton Tech has established a policy that limits the
maximum time you will be allowed to successfully
complete a program. The purpose of this policy is
twofold:
1. to allow you additional time to complete the
course in special circumstances, and
2. to limit your pursuit of a course of study for
which you may not be suited.
Maximum time frame for completion of the education
objective is 1.5 times the stated program length.
