Return of Title IV Federal Student Aid
If a student completely withdraws from school during a semester,
a portion of the federal Title IV aid disbursed to the student must
be returned to the financial aid programs. The percentage of Title
IV aid required to be returned is based on the percentage of time
remaining in the semester as of the student's date of withdrawal.
(This is the date a student provides a properly completed
withdrawal form to the Registrar's Office indicating the student's
intent to completely withdraw from the College.) The amount of
assistance that a student has earned is determined on a pro-rata
basis. The College must determine the treatment of the student's
Title IV program assistance on a payment period basis. The percent
of the payment period represents the percentage of aid earned by
the student.
Funds will be returned first to the Title IV loan programs and
then the Title IV grant programs in the following order:
- Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan
- Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan
- Federal Perkins Loan
- Federal Plus Loan
- Federal Pell Grant
- Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity
