c) The last date <strong>of</strong> attendance is used in the Return to Title IV process as the “Date <strong>of</strong><br />
Withdrawal”. The last date <strong>of</strong> academic attendance is determined by the faculty from<br />
its attendance records.<br />
d) Federal financial aid regulations consider a student to be an un<strong>of</strong>ficial withdrawal if the<br />
student receives all failure due to non-attendance (WF) grades and withdraw (W) grades for<br />
the term. SCU must make this determination as soon as possible, but no later than 30 days<br />
after the end <strong>of</strong> the earlier period <strong>of</strong> enrollment.<br />
e) If students do not <strong>of</strong>ficially withdraw (un<strong>of</strong>ficial withdrawal) by their academic programs term<br />
withdrawal deadline, the student must accept the final grade earned for the course.<br />
4. When a Student Fails to Begin Attendance<br />
Students who never began attendance in classes at an institution are not eligible for Title<br />
IV funds. If a student receives financial aid, but never attends classes, SCU must return<br />
all disbursed funds to the respective federal and institutional aid programs. A Return <strong>of</strong><br />
Title IV Funds calculation, however, is not necessary.<br />
5. Failure to Receive a Passing Grade<br />
GEN-04-03 (Revised).<br />
Federal Register, Vol. 75, No. 209, p. 66896.<br />
When a student does not pass any classes during a completed period <strong>of</strong> enrollment SCU<br />
must determine if the student ceased attendance or attended through the end <strong>of</strong> the period<br />
and "earned" the failing grades. “If a student who began attendance and has not <strong>of</strong>ficially<br />
withdrawn fails to earn a passing grade in at least one course <strong>of</strong>fered over an entire<br />
period, for Title IV purposes, that the student has un<strong>of</strong>ficially withdrawn, unless there is<br />
attendance documentation that the student completed the payment period. If a student<br />
earns a passing grade in at least one course <strong>of</strong>fered over an entire period, SCU considers<br />
that the student completed the course and, thus, completed the period. Although no return<br />
calculation is required, any appropriate aid adjustments due to a change in enrollment<br />
status would be necessary.<br />
6. Students who receive all WF grades at the end <strong>of</strong> the term<br />
Financial aid is awarded under the assumption that the student will attend SCU for the<br />
entire term for which federal assistance was disbursed. When the student has earned a<br />
grade <strong>of</strong> (WF) in each class for the term, a return will be processed based on the latest<br />
date reported by an instructor. SCU will return the calculated amount to the federal<br />
program and the student's account will be charged the amount and the student will be<br />
responsible for any balance due<br />
7. Leaving School: Graduating, Withdrawing, or Dropping below Half-time<br />
a) In addition, if a student <strong>of</strong>ficially or un<strong>of</strong>ficially drop below half-time status,<br />
SCU must notify the students’ loan servicer that the student is no longer enrolled.<br />
