Right to Citizenship Sample Clauses

Right to Citizenship. Absolutely basic to one’s identity and right to development is the recog- nition of one’s citizenship. Yet the Mission was informed that about one third to one half of Penan villagers lacked identity cards and/or birth certificates. Many applicants have had to apply several times before finally obtaining their identity cards or giving up. For example, the headman from Long Ajeng reported having to apply for an identity card four times, each time having to pay RM60. Others reported being made to pay a high- er application fee, going up to several hundred ringgit, or being asked by jpn counter staff to pay RM200 to RM300 in order to collect their readied identity cards. Villagers who could not afford these fees would leave their identity cards uncollected. The Mission notes that no additional payment needs to be made beyond the initial application fee. Villagers also reported the use of different, unnumbered receipts issued upon application. In addition, villagers complained about the high costs and the distance involved in travelling to the jpn office in Miri or jpn centres in Marudi or Long Lama. Several village headmen reported having written to the jpn to ask for mobile units to visit the settlements and register villagers, but received no response. One headman stated that he tried to get identity cards for some of his fellow villagers using an official letter from the District Office but his attempted application was dismissed. The lack of identity cards has major impact on rights and access and respect in other crucial areas. They include • It affects interaction with any authority, including the police. The Mission heard how Penans, in cases where they have no identification card, may be accused of being migrants, and treated with disdain. We noted this in talking about why allegations of sexual violence and exploitation were not reported, and why marriages and births may not be registered. • Penans without identity cards have to pay a significantly higher fee at public hospitals instead of the nominal sum charged Malaysian citi- xxxx. Again, one headman reported that villagers who lacked identity cards were accused of being foreigners whenever they sought treatment at government hospitals and were charged the higher prices as a result. • Penans without identity cards cannot vote, apply for housing grants from the government, and/or travel to other states. These are basic rights of citizenship. Again, this is something that has been reported by many o...

REFUNDS & REPAYMENT Students who withdraw from Cambridge College after having paid the current term charges or receiving financial aid are subject to the following refund and repayment policies. Federal guidelines mandate that tuition, fees, and other related charges are prorated based upon each student’s enroll- ment status. Tuition and fees may be refunded. No other charges are refundable. REFUNDS & REPAYMENT—STUDENTS RECEIVING TITLE IV FINANCIAL AID Exit Counseling. All borrowers of federal student loans must complete federally mandated exit counseling when gradu- ating or dropping to less than half-time enrollment status. Exit counseling prepares students for repayment. Students must do the exit counseling in its entirety, with complete and correct information; otherwise the degree, diploma, and official transcripts will be withheld.

Students receiving federal financial aid, who withdraw from the College or stop attending all classes during a term before more than 60% of the term has elapsed, are subject to specific federal regulations. The amount of Title IV aid that you must repay is determined by the federal formula for return of Title IV funds as speci- fied in Section 484B of the Higher Education Act. The amount of Title IV aid that you earned during the term before you withdrew is calculated by multiplying the total aid for which you qualified by the percentage of time in the term that you were enrolled (college work-study not included). Your disbursement or repayment owed: • If less aid was disbursed to you than you earned, you may receive a late disbursement for the difference. • If more aid was disbursed to you than you earned, you will be billed for the amount you owe to the Title IV programs and any amount due to the College resulting from the return of Title IV funds used to cover College charges. Cambridge College will return the unearned aid to Title IV programs as specified by law. Students who have received federal student financial aid funds are entitled to a refund of any moneys not paid from federal student financial aid program funds (see below).
