Return of Title IV Funds
A portion of a student's federal Title IV funds may have to be returned to the U.S. Department of Education or lender as directed by federal regulation if a student withdraws before the end of the semester. The refund amount is dependent upon the length of enrollment.
Exit Loan Counseling
Federal Stafford or Perkins loan recipients are required to complete exit loan counseling. Students can satisfy this requirement online or by scheduling an appointment with the College's loan coordinator.
Student Loan Default
Failing to repay student loans can significantly hamper a student's future. Delinquent loans can lead to garnished wages, seizure of federal tax returns and professional licenses and the loss of rights to future financial aid and deferment opportunities.
