Return of Federal Title IV Aid
A percentage of Federal Title IV Aid is returned if withdrawal is during the fi rst 60% of the quarter. The amount returned
is based on the percentage of days remaining in the quarter. The school determines the calendar days completed in the
quarter divided by the total number of calendar days in the quarter. If the amount is less than or equal to 60%, that percent
of the Federal Title IV Aid received is the amount that can be retained. The diff erence is returned to the Federal Title IV Aid
program from which funds were received in this order: Unsubsidized Staff ord Loan, Subsidized Staff ord Loan, Perkins Loan,
PLUS Loan, Pell Grant and SEOG.
If Federal Title IV Aid funds have been given to the student and if the student withdraws during the fi rst 60% of the quarter,
the student may need to return some of those funds. If the student needs to return funds, the school will no� fy the student
regarding how much is owed, and how it is to be returned.
Adjustment of Charges
In accordance with school policy, if a student withdraws from school, the school will earn tui� on and fees as follows, based
on the week in which the student withdraws:
Day 1 – $50
Day 2 and 3 – $300
Day 4 through Week 4 – 20%
Weeks 5 and 6 – 70%
A� er Week 6 – 100%
The Illinois Ins� tute of Art fi rst calculates how much needs to be returned under the federal return of Title IV Aid Policy. The
amount will then be subtracted from the amount that was paid for the quarter of withdrawal to get the adjustment amount
paid. The Illinois Ins� tute of Art calculates how much of the charges can be retained based on the school policy. The amount
that can be retained will be subtracted from the adjusted amount paid. If there is addi� onal money to be refunded from
Federal Title IV funds, the refund will be made to the student, or with the student’s wri� en authoriza� on, to Federal Loans
from which funds were received, in this order: Unsubsidized Staff ord Loan, Subsidized Staff ord Loan, Perkins Loan, PLUS
Loan. If there is an addi� onal credit balance remaining a� er the Federal refund is made, under school policy, refunds will
be made in this order, to programs from which funds were received: Unsubsidized Staff ord Loan, Subsidized Staff ord Loan,
Perkins Loan, PLUS Loan, other loans, other aid (if required), and student.
If kits, components of the kit, books, or supplies, are returned to the bookstore in re-salable condi� on within 21 days of
withdrawal, a credit will be given. All refunds and return of funds will be made within 30 days of the date that the student
no� fi es the school of the withdrawal. Examples of the calcula� ons for this policy are available in the Student Accoun� ng
offi ce.
