Calculation of Title IV assistance not earned
The amount of the Title IV grant and loan assistance not earned
by the student is calculated by determining the complement of the
percentage of assistance the student earned and applying it to the
total amount of grant and loan assistance that was disbursed (or
that could have been disbursed) to the student, or on the student’s
behalf, for the period of enrollment as of the day the student
withdrew.
Difference between amounts earned and amounts received
The University will follow the regulations for late disbursement
if the student received less grant or loan assistance than the
amount earned. If the student has received more grant or loan
assistance than the amount earned, then the unearned funds
shall be returned by the University, the student, or both.
Responsibility of the University
The University shall return the lesser of the unearned amount
of Title IV assistance or an amount equal to the total institutional
charges the student incurs for the period of enrollment of
which the assistance was awarded, multiplied by the unearned
percentage of awarded Title IV grant and loan assistance.
Responsibility of the student
Students shall return unearned Title IV assistance minus the
amount the University returns.
Order of return of Title IV funds
Excess funds returned by the University or student are credited
to outstanding Title IV loan balances for the student or made on
the student’s behalf for which a return of funds is required. Excess
funds must be credited to outstanding balances in the following
order:
1. Unsubsidized Stafford loans
2. Subsidized Stafford loans
