Official University Withdrawal/Refund Policy
Withdrawal Refund Policy – Full time and Part-time Students
Çï¿ûÊÓƵ has established a fair and equitable refund policy in accordance with the requirements of the University’s accrediting agency and the U.S. Department of Education. This policy pertains to all students who cease attendance in all classes, either through official withdrawal or without notification. It is always the student’s responsibility to withdraw from unwanted courses. Withdrawal forms are available at My.Pfeiffer and at the Registrar’s Office: registrar@pfeiffer.edu.
Withdrawal Effect on Financial Aid Package
When a student enrolls, he/she receives an aid package for the entire semester. On the date when the semester is 60% complete, the student has earned 100% of this package. If a student withdraws before this date, known as the 60%-point, Çï¿ûÊÓƵ is required to determine the amount of federal financial aid the student has earned from the time of enrollment to the point of withdrawing. The Office of Financial Aid performs a calculation known as Return of Title IV, which was developed by the US Department of Education and is defined below. Federal aid administered under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 includes PELL Grants, SEOG, Perkins Loans, Direct Loans and PLUS loans.
In additional to federal funds, Çï¿ûÊÓƵ also applies this same methodology to calculate the amount of state aid, institutional aid and other scholarship awards that has been earned by the student.
Outside scholarships (those received from non-federal, non-state or non-Pfeiffer agencies or organizations) are also subject to the calculation. Any unearned portion of a scholarship will be returned to the granting agency or donor.
Withdrawal Effects on Charges
Refunds of tuition charges are based on the last date attended. If the student does not officially withdraw, the University will attempt to establish the last date of academic activity; if no clear date is determined, the mid-point of the semester will be the default date. No refund is allowed for fees, books or other charges. Tuition is earned at the same rate as financial aid.
Return to Title IV Calculations
- Number of Days Completed=Last Date Attended – Date Semester Began
- Percentage of Aid Earned=Last Date Attended-Date Semester Began
- Aid to be Returned= (100%-Percentage of Aid Earned) x Aid Disbursed to Student for Institutional Charges
- Percentage of Tuition Earned=Percentage of Aid Earned
- Tuition to be Refunded= (100%-Percentage of Tuition Earned) x Total Semester Tuition Charges
These calculations determine the amount of financial aid the student has earned during the semester, the unearned aid to be returned, the tuition earned by the University and the amount to be credited back to the student account. Federal regulations have mandated the amount of unearned aid will be returned in this prescribed order:
- Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loans
- Subsidized Federal Direct Loans
- Federal PLUS Program
- Federal Perkins Loan Program
- Federal Pell Grant Program
- Federal SEOG Program
- Other Title IV Programs
- Other federal programs
- State programs
- Private or Institutional Assistance
- The student
The student should realize that a balance might be owed to the University after aid is returned. The student should contact the Business Office to establish payment arrangements or pay the balance in full.
Example
The Spring Semester began on 1/15/20xx and ended on 5/3/20xx. The total number of days in the semester minus scheduled breaks of 5 days or more is 109. A student last attended on 2/3/20xx. The number of days completed in the semester was 19. 19 days completed divided by 109 total days in the semester yields 17.4% of the semester was completed by the student. Therefore, the student has earned 17.4% of federal, state, institutional and all other scholarship aid; the university has earned 17.4% of the tuition. 82.6% of the aid disbursed to the student would need to be returned; 82.6% of the tuition would be credited back to the student account.
Federal regulations governing Title IV financial aid programs require that the Office of Financial Aid determine the amount of the refund that must be paid back to the financial aid programs if the student received aid for educational expenses. Therefore, some or all of a student’s credit may be allocated to financial aid programs and not refunded to the student.
