RETURN OF TITLE IV FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID

The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 (HEA98) represent a major shift in the Return of Title IV Federal Financial Aid when a student withdraws from the university. This change in policy went into effect at Jackson State University during the Fall 2000 Semester. The policy governs all federal grant and loan programs (Pell, SEOG, Stafford Loans, Perkins and PLUS loans), but does not include the Federal Work Study program.

In general, the new law assumes that a student “earns” approved/verified federal financial aid awards in proportion to the number of days in the term prior to the student’s complete withdrawal. If a student completely withdraws from the school during a term, the school must calculate, according to a specific formula, the portion of the total scheduled financial assistance that the student has earned and is therefore entitled to retain, until the time that the student withdrew. If a student receives (or the university receives on the student’s behalf) more assistance than he/she earns, the unearned funds must be returned to the Department of Education or to the Federal Stafford or parent’s Federal PLUS loans lenders. If a student’s charges are less than the amount earned, and a refund is due, the student may be able to receive those additional funds. Students who have not completed the verification process are ineligible to receive any financial aid.

The portion of the federal grants and loans that the student is entitled to receive is calculated on a percentage basis by comparing the total number of days in the semester to the number of days that the student completed before he/she withdrew. For example, if a student completes 40% of the semester, he/she earns 40% of the approved federal aid that he/she was originally scheduled to receive for the term. This means 60% of the student’s scheduled or disbursed aid remains unearned and must be returned to the Federal Programs. In the past, the previous Federal and Pro Rata Withdrawal Policies determined the amount of federal funds that must be returned, and the university was required to reduce the student’s tuition charges by the same amount. The new policy governs the earned and unearned portions of the student’s Federal Title IV Financial Aid only.   It determines how much, if any, the student and/or the school may need to return. This policy does not affect the student’s charges. The university’s withdrawal policy will be used to determine the reduction, if any, in the student’s tuition and fee or room and board charges. The student is responsible for paying any outstanding charges to the university.

Any grant funds that the student is required to return to the federal programs are considered an overpayment. The student must either repay the amount in full or make satisfactory payment arrangements with the Department of Education to repay the amount. If the student fails to repay, or make payment arrangements, to repay any overpayment the student will lose his/her eligibility to receive future federal financial aid at any institution.

Students who remain in school after the designated 60% mark, per federal regulations, of the academic terms below will be considered to have earning 100% of the federal aid. No repayment as a consequence of withdrawal is required.
