WHAT DO I DO IF I WANT TO COMPLETELY WITHDRAW FROM CLASSES?

We strongly encourage students to contact Student Financial Services Staff before making a final decision about withdrawing from courses or altering enrollment. The complete withdrawal and tuition refund policy is accessible here: https://wilson.smartcatalogiq.com/en/current/catalog/financial-informat…. The date of withdrawal will determine the final tuition charge for which the student is responsible. All fees and housing charges are non-refundable once the semester has begun. Board charges may be pro-rated based on the date of withdrawal.

The Financial Aid Office is required by federal law to recalculate federal financial aid eligibility for students who withdraw, drop out, are dismissed, or take a leave of absence prior to completing 60% of a payment period or term. The federal Title IV financial aid programs, such as Pell Grant and Stafford Loan, must be recalculated in these situations. If a student leaves the institution prior to completing 60% of a payment period or term, the financial aid office recalculates eligibility for Title IV funds. Recalculation is based on the percentage of earned aid using the following Federal Return of Title IV funds formula:

Percentage of payment period or term completed = the number of days completed up to the withdrawal date divided by the total days in the payment period or term. (Any break of five days or more is not counted as part of the days in the term.) This percentage is also the percentage of earned aid.

Funds are returned to the appropriate federal program based on the percentage of unearned aid using the following formula:
Aid to be returned = (100% of the aid that could be disbursed minus the percentage of earned aid) multiplied by the total amount of aid that could have been disbursed during the payment period or term.

If a student earned less aid than was disbursed, the institution would be required to return a portion of the funds and the student would be required to return a portion of the funds. Keep in mind that when Title IV funds are returned, the student borrower may owe a debit balance to the institution.

If a student earned more aid than was disbursed to him/her, the institution would owe the student a post-withdrawal disbursement which must be paid within 120 days of the student's withdrawal. The institution must return the amount of Title IV funds for which it is responsible no later than 30 days after the date of the determination of the date of the student's withdrawal.

Refunds are allocated in the following order:

  • Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans
  • Subsidized Federal Stafford Loans
  • Federal Parent (PLUS) Loans
  • Federal Pell Grant
  • Federal Academic Competiveness Grant
  • Federal SMART Grant
  • Federal Supplemental Opportunity Grant
  • Other assistance under this Title for which a Return of funds is required
