Steps in Determining Institutional Charges<br />
Institutional charges are used to determine the portion <strong>of</strong> unearned Federal Student Aid that SCU<br />
is responsible for returning. Title IV program funds are used to pay institutional charges ahead <strong>of</strong><br />
all other sources <strong>of</strong> aid. The institutional charges used in the calculation are always the charges<br />
that were assessed the student for the entire period <strong>of</strong> enrollment prior to the student's<br />
withdrawal. Application fees are excluded from institutional charges because they are not an<br />
educational cost. Student's institutional charges are generally defined as charges for tuition and<br />
fees, and other educational expenses that are paid to the school directly. SCU does not include<br />
books, supplies, equipment, and materials as institutional charges. A charge assessed to all<br />
students enrolled in a course or program is an institutional charge whether or not it is assessed to<br />
all students at the school. Moreover, a charge does not have to be specified in a student’s<br />
enrollment/admissions agreement to be considered an institutional charge. Generally, the higher<br />
the institutional charges, the greater the amount <strong>of</strong> unearned aid that is to be returned by the<br />
school.<br />
Steps in the Return <strong>of</strong> Title IV Funds Policy<br />
Step 1: Student's Title IV information<br />
34 CFR 668.22(a)(2).<br />
Student Accounts <strong>of</strong>fice will determine:<br />
The total amount <strong>of</strong> Title IV aid disbursed for the semester in which the student withdrew. A<br />
student's Title IV aid is counted as aid disbursed in the calculation if it has been applied to the<br />
student's account on or before the date the student withdrew.<br />
The total amount <strong>of</strong> Title IV aid disbursed plus the Title IV aid that could have been disbursed<br />
for the semester in which the student withdrew.<br />
Step 2: Percentage <strong>of</strong> Title IV Aid Earned<br />
Student Accounts <strong>of</strong>fice will calculate the percentage <strong>of</strong> Title IV aid earned as follows:<br />
The number <strong>of</strong> calendar days completed by the student divided by the total number <strong>of</strong> calendar<br />
days in the semester in which the student withdrew. The total number <strong>of</strong> calendar days in a<br />
semester shall exclude any scheduled breaks <strong>of</strong> more than five days.<br />
Days Attended ÷ Days in Enrollment Period = Percentage Completed<br />
If the calculated percentage completed exceeds 60%, then the student has "earned" all the Title<br />
IV aid for the enrollment period.<br />
Step 3: Amount <strong>of</strong> Title IV Aid Earned by the Student<br />
Student Accounts <strong>of</strong>fice will calculate the amount <strong>of</strong> Title IV aid earned as follows:<br />
