Federal Title IV Refunds
Due to Department of Education guidelines, Õ¬Äи£Àû is required to refund any Federal Title IV funds which exceed the applicable charges for the award year excluding $200.00 from a previous award year. If you have previously signed a Federal Title IV Release form, we may also exclude all non-applicable charges for the current award year from the refund check(s).
Federal regulations prohibit Õ¬Äи£Àû from holding Federal Loan proceeds in excess of 14 days from the first day of classes if the loan(s) creates a refund. Federal loans received after the semester begins will be refunded within 14 days of their receipt. Please note: your Title IV refund will be deposited directly to your Preferred Payment Option (see above).
If you adjust your course schedule after you receive your refund, you must make proper arrangements with the Bursar's Office to cover your balance.
