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.
