REFUND POLICY FOR STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN FEDERAL TITLE IV STUDENT AID PROGRAMS

In accordance with Federal regulations, financial aid eligibility will be recalculated for all Title IV* recipients who completely withdraw, drop out, are dismissed, or take a leave of absence prior to completing 61% of the semester.

The recalculation is based on the percent of EARNED aid using the following formula:

Percent earned = Number of days completed up to the withdrawal date** divided by total days in the semester.

Federal financial aid is returned to the Federal government based on the percent of unearned aid using the following formula:

Aid to be returned = (100% minus the percent earned) multiplied by the amount of aid disbursed toward institutional charges.

Samples of the calculations are available upon request in the Financial Aid Office.

* Title IV Aid includes Federal PELL Grant, FSEOG Grant, Federal Stafford Loans (Subsidized and Unsubsidized), and PLUS Loans.

** Withdrawal Date is defined as the actual date the student began the institution’s withdrawal process, the student’s last day of recorded attendance, or the midpoint of the semester for a student who leaves without notifying the institution.
