grades at the end of the semester, the Financial Aid office uses information from instructors to determine the student's last date of attendance. If it's found that student stopped attending, a Return of Title IV calculation is completed using federal guidelines and information from professors to set the withdrawal date and any aid that the student didn't earn is returned. IPFW Return of Title IV Funds Policy There are circumstances which require IPFW to reduce the amount of Financial Aid that was disbursed to your account. These circumstances are often the result of a student dropping classes, not-attending classes or not performing well in classes. When this occurs, the Financial Aid Office reduces the award which results in these funds being pulled from your Bursar Student Account and sent back to the students' loan or grant. If a refund of excess Financial Aid has already occurred, you will be notified of the need to pay these funds back to the university. This notification will be made electronically in the form of an eBill and may also be made in the form of a letter from Financial Aid Office, Bursar Office, or both. Federal financial aid, such as the Pell grant and Stafford loans, are officially known as Title IV Funds.  If you withdraw from all of your classes, the Financial Aid Office is required by law to complete a Return of Title IV calculation and any aid that you didn't earn will be returned to the state or federal aid
