General Information
- Federal Title IV financial aid recipients who need
to use Federal funds for room, board, books, etc., must authorize such use
of funds. Otherwise, personal funds must be used for these expenses.
- Beginning freshmen may borrow the maximum
loan amount of $3,500 in the first academic year. Funds can't be received by
the University until after the first 30 days of class.
- All Federal Stafford Loan borrowers must
complete a
loan
counseling
session before funds can be received by the
University.
Return of Title IV
-
Students who receive Title IV aid and do not
complete at least 60% of the semester for which they are enrolled may be
required to return a portion of the Federal funds received. Title IV aid
includes, but is not limited to, Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG), Academic Competitiveness Grants (ACG),
National Science & Mathematics Access to Retain Talent (SMART) Grants,
Perkins Loans, and Stafford Loans. In most cases, the withdrawal date for
students who officially withdraw will be the actual date of withdrawal as
determined by the Registrar’s Office. Students who cease attending without
officially withdrawing are considered “unofficial withdrawals.” The
midpoint of the semester (or in some cases, the last date of attendance)
will be used in determining the amount of aid to be returned for unofficial
withdrawals.
Withdrawing from the University,
either officially or unofficially, may require that you return a substantial
amount of the Title IV funds that you received. If you should have to
withdraw at any point, contact the Financial Aid Office.
PLEASE NOTE:
Receipt of additional financial
assistance such as scholarships, grants-in-aid, or vocational rehabilitation
grants may change eligibility for awards that have already been processed.
Federal Stafford Loans, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants
(SEOG), Academic Competitiveness Grants (ACG), National Science &
Mathematics Access to Retain Talent (SMART) Grants, and/or Federal Perkins
Loans may be decreased or canceled if the student receives additional
assistance. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP THE FINANCIAL AID OFFICE
INFORMED OF ALL ASSISTANCE YOU WILL BE RECEIVING. |
