Federal Return of Funds/Repayment Policy (Federal Regulation 668.22)
Under changes made by the Higher Education Act of 1998, this policy focuses on the amount of Title IV program funds to be returned when a student withdraws from all classes and does not complete the semester. This policy applies only to students receiving Title IV aid (federal Pell Grants, federal SEOG, and federal subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford loans).
During the first 60% of the enrollment period, a student "earns" Title IV funds in direct proportion to the length of time he or she remains enrolled. Students who withdraw totally from the college without completing 60% of the enrollment period will be required to repay a portion of the aid received within 45 days.
For example, a student who withdraws after completing 10% of the enrollment period may need to repay up to 90% of the federal funds that were awarded to them. Student should contact the Financial Aid office prior to the withdrawal.
See the Refunds for Class Registration policy (POL 6.060A) for more information.
