Refund of Title IV Federal Loan Funds
The refund of federal loans is distributed in accordance with federal regulation. Title IV aid is awarded to a student under the assumption that the student will attend school for the entire period for which the assistance is awarded. When a student withdraws during the period, the student may no longer be eligible for the full amount of Title IV funds that the student was originally scheduled to receive. If a recipient of Title IV loan funds drops classes or withdraws from school after beginning attendance, the amount of Title IV assistance earned by the student is determined by a specific formula. If the amount disbursed to the student is greater than the amount the student earned, unearned funds must be returned to the Title IV program by the school or the student. If the amount disbursed to the student is less than the amount the student earned, and for which the student is otherwise eligible, he or she is eligible to receive a post-withdrawal disbursement of the earned aid that was not received. The student will have to indicate his/her permission to issue the post-withdrawal disbursement if earned. The amount of aid earned is determined on a pro rata basis. Once a student has completed more than 60% of the period, the student is considered to have earned all aid he/she was scheduled to receive. If a student is determined to have completed fewer than 60% of the period, the determined percentage is the percent of aid earned during the period.
The requirements for the refund of Title IV federal loans funds are separate from UGST’s Tuition Refund Schedule. Therefore, a student may still owe funds to cover unpaid institutional charges. UGST may also charge a student for any Title IV funds the school is required to return.You may call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 800-4-FEDAID (800-433-3243) or visit Student Aid on the Web at www.studentaid.gov for additional information.
Withdrawing from the Seminary
Students desiring to withdraw from the seminary before the end of a semester must notify the registrar in writing. Students who fail to do so will receive the grade to which their course work entitles them (usually “F”) and will forfeit any refund that might otherwise have been available to them. The College reserves the right to change the fees stated or to establish additional fees at any time without prior written notice. When fee changes or additions are made, they become effective with the next payment date.
