When a student withdraws during a term, the amount of federal financial aid earned by the student is determined on a pro-rata basis up to the end of the 60% of the term. For example, if the student has completed 30% of the term, then the student has earned 30% of the aid originally scheduled to be received. Once a student has completed more than 60% of the term, then the student has earned all his or her federal financial aid. (Federal Work Study funds are excluded from the return of Title IV funds requirements.)
If a student has received excess funds, the College must return a portion of the excess equal to or the lesser of:
- The student鈥檚 institutional charge multiplied by unearned percentage of funds, or
- The entire amount of the excess funds.
If the aid to be returned is in the form of a loan that has been released to the student (or parent) borrower, the student (or parent) can repay the loan in accordance with the terms of the promissory note over a period of time. If the aid to be returned is in the form of grant funds, the law provides that the student may repay 50% of the grant rather than 100%.
Within 30 days of the date of 麻豆社区P鈥檚 determination that a student withdraws, 麻豆社区P will provide written notification to the student, or parent in the case of a parent PLUS loan, that outlines results of the refund calculation and post-withdrawal disbursements eligibility, if applicable.
