Students receiving federal financial aid have the responsibility
to follow the institution’s withdrawal procedures as outlined on
p. 14 of this catalog. The 1998 Reauthorization of the Higher
Education Act requires the university to calculate a return of
Title IV funds for all federal financial aid students who withdraw
from all classes on or before the 60-percent attendance
point in the semester. UMUC is required to return to the federal
programs any award funds that were “unearned” based on the
percentage of attendance. Students who stop attending all classes
without officially withdrawing are also subject to a return of
funds calculation at the end of the semester based on the last
documented date of attendance as determined by the teachers.
For further information, students should refer to the UMUC
Guide to Financial Aid.See also Federal
Return of Funds Policy.
