WITHDRAWAL AND RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS:
Due to the Higher Education Amendments of 1998,Congress passed new provisions governing what happens to your federal financial assistance should you withdraw from all of your classes before completing 60 percent of the semester. In essence, these provisions maintain that you are not entitled to 100 percent of your federal funds (Pell Grant, SEOG, Perkins and Stafford Subsidized or Unsubsidized Loans) until you complete a minimum of 60 percent of the semester, which is approximately 9.5 weeks. Therefore, if you receive your funds and withdraw, or if your classes are canceled completely before 60 percent of the term has passed, you may owe a portion of the funds back to the particular program or programs from which they were disbursed. This policy would also apply if a class is canceled and you are no longer enrolled in at least 1 credit.
Please read the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for more information regarding completion of degrees or certificates, 90+ credit hours, repeating courses, loan only, and the appeals process.
