Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Direct or PLUS loans and withdraws from the University is subject to the Return of Title IV Funds regulations. Students with funds from any of these programs "earn" their financial aid dollars while enrolled. If a student withdraws prior to completing 60% of a term (Fall Semester on or after October 30 and Spring Semester on or after March 25), a prorated portion of his/her federal financial aid dollars must be considered "unearned" and returned to the federal programs. Unearned financial aid dollars returned to the federal programs could cause students to owe the University a significant amount upon withdrawal. Failure to return aid due back to their federal programs will result in loss of eligibility for federal financial aid assistance.
Federal funds returned are distributed to the programs as follows:
Unsubsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loans
Subsidized Federal Direct Stafford Loans
Federal Direct PLUS Loans
Federal Perkins Loans
Federal Pell Grants
Federal Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grants (FSEOG)
Other Student Financial Aid Programs
Other federal, state, private, or institutional sources of aid
