Financial Aid Refund Policy

• Students who have received or who are scheduled to receive federal financial aid and withdraw during a semester are subject to federal refunding rules. The federal formula allows a student to keep aid that is earned based on the amount of time the student was enrolled. This calculation is performed upon receipt of the official withdrawal form or at the request of the student.
• A student’s charges are determined using the institution’s refund formula. Therefore, it is advisable for a student who is considering withdrawal to meet with the Director of Financial Aid to determine the financial aid impact of such a decision. For specific information regarding withdrawal as it relates to financial aid, please contact the Office of Financial Aid.
• Full-time students dropping to part-time status after the add/drop period are eligible to a proportional refund based on full-time charges. The amount of the refund is based on the college refund policy. The same is applicable for part-time students dropping credits after the add/drop period.
• A student who leaves the College without formally withdrawing or a student dismissed from the College forfeits all rights to a refund.
