Fall 2009 W/D & LOA BILLING ADJUSTMENT DATES
UNIVERSITY REFUND POLICY UPON WITHDRAWAL OR LEAVE"
FEDERAL PRO-RATA RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS POLICY Students receiving Federal Title IV funds, i.e., Federal Pell Grants, Federal Ford Direct Loans, Federal Ford Plus Loans, Federal Perkins Loans, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, or other Federal Title IV assistance are subject to the Federal Return of Funds Regulation. The regulation states that Federal Title IV funds must be returned according to a pro-rata formula based upon the amount of time spent in school up to the 60th percentile of attendance. Thereafter, disbursements are not adjusted. An example follows: Assume that a student withdraws during the third week of school after attending 20 days and the term bill has been paid entirely by a Federal Ford Direct Loan. If the semester consists of 100 days, 80% of the loan must be returned to the fund since the student attended only 20% of the semester. The student's term bill, however, is reduced only 60% per the University's refund policy as stated above. The student will be responsible for the difference.
