If a student totally withdraws from the College for a particular semester and was a federal financial aid recipient, the student is entitled to receive funding based on the percentage of the payment period (semester) that the student completed.

If the student completes more than 60 percent of the enrollment period, he or she has earned 100 percent of the aid for that period of enrollment.

If the student completes 60 percent or less of the period of enrollment, the percentage of the period completed is the percentage of aid earned and eligible to receive.  Any aid that is unearned as a result of totally withdrawing from the College at the 60 percent or less point of the semester must be returned to the Department of Education.

The policy applies to all students receiving federal aid during the fall, spring or summer semesters.
