NOTE: Students who have a 0.00 GPA or who withdraw from


all courses in a term may be required to return a portion of the
Federal Financial Aid funds that they received. Students with an
outstanding debt to the college will not be allowed to register for
subsequent terms, remain enrolled in classes, or receive official
transcripts until the debt has been paid in full.

Refund/Repayment Policy
If you withdraw or stop attending classes, you may be subject to
repayment of financial aid funds per the following policy:
• If a student withdraws from all classes or earns a 0.00 GPA for
the term, the Financial Aid Office will recalculate the account
to determine if the student must repay a portion of the
financial aid received. If repayment is required, the student
will receive notification from the Business Office. Because
the student has failed to meet the Standards of Satisfactory
Academic Progress, the student will either be placed in
warning or disqualified from receiving additional financial
aid. If the student is disqualified a completed Financial Aid
Eligibility Appeal form must be submitted for the Appeals
Committee to consider, however, the appeal will not be heard
until the debt to the institution has been paid in full.
• The student’s account will be charged with any portion of
unearned aid that the school is responsible for returning to
the U.S. Department of Education. This charge will result in
both a Financial Hold and Transcript Hold being placed on the
student’s account.
• If the student has received a Stafford Subsidized or
Unsubsidized Loan, the student is responsible for paying back
any unearned amount of the loan funds that they received
under the terms of the loan.
• Students will have up to 45 calendar days to make acceptable
financial arrangements for repaying the over award or the
account will be sent to collections.
• In accordance with Board Policy 720.0110, a student must
meet all financial obligations to the college in order to qualify
for continued enrollment.
