Policy for total Withdrawals<br />

The Higher Education Amendments<br />

of 1998 require colleges to recalculate<br />

Federal Title IV Aid (PELL, SEOG, and<br />

all Stafford Loans) eligibility for recipients<br />

who withdraw from or stop attending all<br />

of their courses before completing at least<br />

60% of the semester. Students are now<br />

only eligible for a percentage of federal aid<br />

earned up to the 60% point of the semester.<br />

Class attendance rosters are reviewed each<br />

semester and recalculations are performed<br />

accordingly.<br />

Offcial Withdrawals: Students who<br />

follow the college’s formal withdrawal<br />

procedures and totally withdraw before<br />

completing 60% of the semester will have<br />

their federal aid eligibility recalculated<br />

using the date of withdrawal on fle in the<br />

Registrar’s Offce. For example, students<br />

who complete 20% of the semester will be<br />

eligible for 20% of their federal aid.<br />

Unoffcial Withdrawals: Students who<br />

stop attending and do not formally<br />

withdraw before completing 60% of the<br />

semester will be considered unoffcially<br />

withdrawn and subject to a Federal Title<br />

IV Aid recalculation. The college will<br />

use the 50% point in the semester to<br />

calculate eligibility for aid for unoffcial<br />

withdrawals.<br />

Tuition Liability: Students who offcially<br />

even if their fnancial aid is decreased.<br />

Students subject to Federal Title IV<br />

Aid recalculations are responsible for<br />

any remaining unpaid tuition and fee<br />

balances resulting from the recalculation.<br />

Additionally, if the student received a<br />

disbursement of federal fnancial aid, and<br />

a federal Title IV recalculation results in<br />

their not being eligible for all or a portion<br />

of the funds dispersed, the student will be<br />

billed for the outstanding funds.<br />

student Accident insurance<br />

Student accident insurance is required for<br />

the protection of all full-time and parttime<br />

students. This insurance is in effect<br />

during the academic year and covers<br />

students taking classes on campus, courses<br />

off campus, and other related college<br />

activities.<br />

Coverage is in effect for accidental<br />

injury, accidental death, accidental<br />

dismemberment, loss of sight, and dental<br />

injury. Claims must be made to the Offce<br />

of Human Resources of the college within<br />
