Return of the Title IV Aid


Students that receive federal financial aid and who withdraw from ALL classes on or before the 60% time of enrollment period, UNF will calculate, according to federal regulations any amounts disbursed that must be returned to the Title IV programs.


Step 1: Determine the percentage of the enrollment period the student attended before withdrawing. (days attended divided by total days in the period).


Step2: Determine the amount of Title IV aid earned by multiplying the total Title IV aid (other than Federal Work-Study) for which the student qualified by the percentage of time enrolled.


Step 3: Compare the amount earned to the amount disbursed. If more aid was disbursed than was earned, determine the amount of title IV aid that must be returned by subtracting the earned amount from the disbursed amount.


Step 4: Allocate the responsibility for returning unearned aid between the school and the student according to the portion of disbursed aid that could have been used to cover institutional charges and the portion that could have been disbursed directly to the student once the institutional charges were covered.


Step 5: Distribute the unearned funds back to the appropriate Title IV program.
Students processing refunds through the Fee Petition Committee will have their refunds applied to the Financial Aid program from which the funds originated.
