Federal regulations require the use of the Return of Title IV Funds Policy to be used for all students receiving any type of federal aid when calculating the aid a student can retain after withdrawing. This policy relates to Federal Pell, SEOG, and TEACH Grants, as well as Federal Direct and Direct PLUS Loans.  These regulations do not dictate an institutional refund policy. Instead, they govern the return of Federal aid disbursed for a student who completely withdraws from a term or payment period. The percentage of time that the student remained enrolled determines the percentage of disbursable aid for that period that the student earned. During the first 60% of the period/semester, a student “earns” aid in direct proportion to the length of time he or she remains enrolled. Should the student withdraw, the student is required to return the respective percentage of aid to the university.  A student who remains enrolled beyond the 60% point earns 100% of federal aid for the period and no reimbursement is required.

For more information, see the Federal Student Aid Handbook.

NOTE:  Students withdrawing from courses must notify the Office of the Registrar in writing by filing the appropriate form and/or sending an email from the university email address. Institutional charges and financial aid will be adjusted once the withdrawal date has been determined. For students receiving federal aid, the refund must first be repaid to the Title IV programs, state grants, and institutional funds in accordance with existing regulations in effect on the date of withdrawal and with respect to various types of aid. It is possible that the student who withdraws will still have an outstanding balance due to the university and will be required to be paid prior to any release of an official transcript.
