FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID REFUND POLICY<br />
Students that receive federal financial aid are subject<br />
to the federal Return to Title IV Funds regulations.<br />
These regulations state that aid eligibility for a student<br />
receiving federal aid must be recalculated under most<br />
circumstances if the student withdraws from classes early<br />
or ceases to attend during the quarter. Some students<br />
may owe a repayment to the federal aid programs. These<br />
regulations and any resulting amounts owed are separate<br />
from and may be in addition to the college’s own tuition<br />
refund policy. For a copy <strong>of</strong> the Return to Title IV Funds<br />
refund policy, please contact the Financial Aid Office.<br />
