the College will also look at other evidence of campus activities (e.g. activity dates, library access, and meals) to help determine an effective date for both Title IV and institutional refund purposes. If an effective date cannot be accurately determined, the midpoint of the term will be used as the effective date. A different effective date may be used for refund purposes of institutional expenses compared to Title IV funds when there are differences between the date the withdrawal was initiated compared to when the student completed the process and vacates campus. An unofficial withdrawal may be required to repay a portion of the financial aid received for the term. All financial aid reductions are calculated based on formulas published by and software received from the Department of Education.
Students who stop attending all of their classes are required to officially withdraw from the College.
