Return of Title IV Funds The U.S. Department of Education maintains a "return of Title IV Funds" policy for students who receive Federal financial aid and withdraw from school before completing sixty percent (60%) of the period of enrollment. This policy is separate from the state -approved institutional tuition refund policy described above. The federal policy defines the proportion of Title IV funds that the student is qualified to receive. The federal policy for "return of title IV Funds" defines that a student who has attended up through the sixty percent (60%) point in each period of enrollment has fully earned the Title IV funds for the period of enrollment. For a student who has attended less than the sixty-one percent (61%) point, the percentage of the Title IV funds earned is calculated by the following ratio: Number of calendar days elapsed* from start date of the enrollment period to the last date attended Percentage = of Title IV Funds Number of calendar Earned** days in the period of enrollment This ratio is multiplied by the federal financial aid disbursed plus the amount that could have been disbursed to equal the Title IV funds earned. Total disbursed minus earned equals the federal funds that must be returned to the funding program *Presuming the student attended sixty (60%) percent of all scheduled classes. If the student attended less than sixty (60%) percent of all scheduled classes, "elapsed time' Is not applied, actual hours are applied. ** Rounded to the nearest whole number To comply with the Higher Education Reconciliation Act of 2005, the institution will return unearned federal student aid funds for which it is responsible no later than 45 days after the date the institution determines that the student has withdrawn from school. Order of Refund The school will calculate the amount of financial aid earned up to the last date of attendance using a formula mandated by the U.S. Department of Education. If the amount of Federal Financial Aid Funds received is more than the amount of the aid earned, the difference must be returned to the appropriate "Title IV" program in the following order: 331 1. Direct Unsubsidized Loan 2. Direct Subsidized Loan 3. Direct Plus Loan 4. Federal Pell Grant 5. Federal SEOG Grant 6. Other "Title IV" loan or grant assistance Withdrawal Date: The withdrawal date for a student who officially or unofficially withdraws from school is the student's last date of attendance. The withdrawal date for a student who fails to return from a leave of absence (LOA) is the last date of attendance prior to the start of the LOA. Date of Determination (DOD) The DOD is the date used to determine the timeliness of the return of unearned title IV funds. The DOD is the earliest of the following three (3) dates: 1. Date the student provides official notification of intent to withdraw; 2. The date the student failed to comply with one of the school's published aftendance/academic policies; 3. 14 calendar days from the student's last date of attendance.
