Students receiving disbursements of Title IV aid who later terminate their enrollment require institutional review to determine if there has been an overpayment of Student Financial Aid funds (SFA), and if repayment of any financial aid by the student is required. If repayment to any Title IV program is required, the following priority list will be used:

  • Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan
  • Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan
  • Federal PLUS Loan
  • Federal Pell Grant
  • Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
  • Other Federal Aid programs

The portion of a repayment allocated to a program may not exceed the amount a student received from that program.

When a student withdraws from the institution, a review will also be required to determine if a refund should be made to any financial aid programs and/or the student.

In allocating the Title IV and other components of a refund back to the various sources, the following priority list will be used:

  • Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan
  • Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan
  • Federal PLUS Loan
  • Federal Pell Grant
  • Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
  • Other Federal Aid programs
  • Other state, private or institutional sources of aid
  • The student
