Return of Federal Funds

Federal Title IV regulates that a certain percentage of Title IV awarded funds be returned to the U.S. Department of Education or to the student loan lender when a student completely withdraws from all classes. These funds include: Federal Direct Loan and/or PLUS Loans, Federal Pell Grant, and Federal SEOG. The Colorado Student Grant is not affected by this requirement.

If a student drops a class that has not started and receives a 100 percent refund, aid is reduced to reflect the new enrollment status. All charges (e.g. tuition, books and supplies) will then be deducted from the total amount of the award and the remainder issued in the form of a check mailed directly to the student six weeks into the semester.

Students receiving all "F" grades are unofficially withdrawn from classes. Financial aid students who drop out without notifying the institution are considered having withdrawn at the last date that the student attended class. Students may owe the college for charges no longer paid by financial aid.

For more information about the procedure called Return of Title IV Funds and how returns are calculated, contact the Financial Aid office, CentreTech Campus, Administration Building, Room A103.
