If you are a recipient of federal financial aid and withdraw from the College prior to completing 60% of the semester, federal regulations require the College to calculate how much aid you have earned. Any unearned federal and institutional financial aid will be charged back to your student account possibly creating a balance due to the College. For the complete description of the Federal and Institutional Financial Aid Refund policy refer to the College Federal and Institutional Financial Aid Refund Facts.
