A student who withdraws after the first one-third of a semester is not entitled to any refund.

Fees for private lessons are not refunded.

The refund policy shall apply to semesters. Sessions, or terms of shorter duration will prorate refunds accordingly. (See university calendar).

RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS POLICY

Students need to be cautioned under this new policy.  Students who totally withdraw after receiving Title IV assistance in many cases will have to repay a portion of the funds received.  The financial aid office recalculates federal* financial aid eligibility for students who withdraw, drop out, or are dismissed prior to completing 60% of a semester.  Recalculation is based on the percent of earned aid using the following formula:

Percent earned=Number of days completed up to the withdrawal date**divided by total days in the semester.

Federal financial aid is returned to the federal government based on the percent of unearned aid using the following formula:

Aid to be returned=(100% - percent earned above) times the amount of aid disbursed toward institutional charges.  Institutional charges are:  tuition, fees, on-campus room and board.

When aid is returned, the student may owe a debit balance to the University and/or Department of Education Title IV Programs.  If a student owes a debit balance to the Department of Education, payment arrangements will have to be made with the Department. *Federal financial aid includes the Federal Pell Grant, SEOG Grant, Perkins Loan, FFEL Stafford Student Loan, and PLUS Loan.

**Withdrawal Date is defined as the actual date the student began the institution's withdrawal process through the Registrar's Office, the student's last date of recorded attendance or the midpoint of the semester for a student who leaves without notifying the institution.
