Withdrawal from the College

A. Approved Withdrawal from University

Approved withdrawal means the student has completed the appropriate forms and has returned the forms to the program support office.  The day that the form is received will be the official withdrawal date.  Some course fees are refundable and some are not.  Tuition and fees will be refunded according to the schedule in C or D.

F. Return of Federal (Title IV) Financial Aid

If a student leaves school before the end of the semester, the return of federal financial aid will be based on the guidelines issued by the federal government in the 1998 reauthorization. Federal financial aid will be prorated on a per diem basis using calendar days with the exclusion of breaks over 5 days during the term.  Once the 60% point of the semester is reached, there is no return of federal financial aid.  However, Federal Pell grants will be adjusted for any course for which a student does not attend at least one class.

G. New York State Aid

New York State (i.e. TAP) recipients who are withdrawing from the university, or who do not complete all of their courses, should be aware that their TAP award amount may be changed for the term and that they may lose their New York State aid for the next term.  For more details, please refer to the section on Satisfactory Academic Progress.
