The 1998 Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act requires the university to calculate a return of Title IV funds on all federal financial aid students who withdraw from all classes on or before the 60 percent attendance point in the semester. Students who stop attending all classes without officially withdrawing will also be subject to a return of funds calculation at the end of the semester based on the last documented date of attendance as determined by the teachers. For Further Information Information and applications are available from the Financial Aid Process Team.
Students can also obtain a current financial aid kit by contacting their resource team.
