College Refund Policy Return of Title IV Funds Federal Regulations require schools participating in the Student Financial Aid Programs to use specific refund policies for students who receive financial aid withdraws from the college. This policy applies to tuition, fees, and room and board. If a student withdraws from Tougaloo College and is receiving federal financial aid, a portion of these funds may need to be returned to the federal aid programs and/or lender for Stafford loans based on the following: If a student withdraws before completing 60% of the semester, the student is only entitled to federal student aid based on the percentage of time that was completed. Pro-rata refunds are calculated and determined by percentage of the semester that has been completed up to and including the official date of withdrawal. Based on this calculation, the college determines the amount of financial aid that is unearned and is responsible for returning any portion necessary to the appropriate financial aid programs and/or lender. Financial aid funds are returned to the federal programs in the following order: Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan, Subsidized Stafford Loan, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal PLUS Loan, Federal Pell Grant and SEOG. Any remaining credit balances will then be returned to the state, college and/or student. Withdrawal from the college could result in a balanced owed to the college for federal aid that must be returned to the federal programs and/or lender. No refunds will be made after the 60% point of the semester.
