Title IV Federal Financial Aid Refund Policy
Please note, the above policy is for tuition refund purposes only. Additionally, students who are federal financial aid recipients (e.g., Federal Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford Loan, Perkins Loan, Direct PLUS, Pell Grants, FSEOG Grants, Other Title IV aid) who withdraw, or otherwise cease to be enrolled before the end of a term will be subject to the federal Title IV Refund Policy. Title IV financial aid funds are awarded under the assumption that a student will attend for the entire period in which they are enrolled. When a student withdraws from all courses, stops attending, or enrolls for a less than halftime status, the eligibility for the full amount of Title IV aid may be forfeited. Therefore, a student may be eligible for a tuition refund under the University’s Tuition Refund Policy and may also be subject to the Federal Title IV Refund Policy, which may require the return of applicable federal financial aid funds.
The University is required to recalculate federal financial aid eligibility for students who complete less than 60% of an enrollment period (based on the number of calendar days). Once the term has been 60% completed, the student is considered to have earned 100% of the Title IV funds.
