Refund of Student Fees

Students withdrawing or requesting a leave of absence at anytime during thetyear must go through the proper process. The student must go to the Office of the Registrar to begin the process. The form which the student receives must be presented to each additional office as indicated on the form.

All students who withdraw during the enrollment period for which they are charged will receive a refund of institutional chargs as outlined in the Institutional Refund Policy. In addition, students receiving Title IV financial aid will receive a calculation for earned and unearned Title IV funds as outlined in the Return of Title IV funds policy. Unearned funds will be charged back to the student's account and returned to the proper parties. Information on the Institutional Refund Policy and the Return of Title IV Funds is available from the Office of Business and Finance or the Student Financial Aid Office. An administrative fee of the lesser of 5% of institutional charges or $100 is charged to students who withdraw during an enrollment period.

The refund portion returned to the Title IV programs is determined according to the Return of Title IV Funds Policy. The Title IV portion of the refund is allocated among the Title IV programs accordingly:

  1. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans
  2. Subsidized Stafford Loans
  3. Unsubsidized Direct Loans
  4. Subsidized Direct Loans
  5. Perkins Loans
  6. Federal PLUS Loans
  7. Direct PLUS Loans
  8. Pell Grants
  9. FSEPG
  10. Other Title IV Programs

If the refund is attributed to Family Educational Loan Programs, it is returned directly to the lender within 30 days of the later date of when teh student withdrew or when teh school is notified of the withdrawal.

If the student withdraws during the refund period, instiutitonally funded and state funded scholarships and grants will be refunded on a basis consistent with the refund calculation method, not to exceed the total amount of the calculated refund. Private scholarships are not refunded unless specifically required by the donor.

Students who are enlisted in a military reserve and are called to active military service in the middle of a term, and thus forced to take a leave of absence for the term, will receive a tuition refund equal to the amount of tuition paid at the beginning of the term.

Room and board fees will be prorated, with the amount of fees not yet used at the time of call to militaryt service refunded to the student.
