Tuition Refund Schedule for Financial Aid Recipients**

• A Financial Aid Recipient is defined as any student who has been awarded Financial Aid (Federal, State, or Institutional) by the Financial Aid Office.
• No tuition refund will be made for Financial Aid recipients who drop individual courses after 4:00 p.m. on Friday of the first week of the quarter.

**Return of Title IV Funds Policy

• If a recipient of Title IV aid officially withdraws from all classes before completing 60% of the quarter, MSOE is required by law to calculate whether a portion of the student's federal financial aid must be returned to the federal government.
• The amount of federal aid the student keeps is in direct proportion to the length of time the student remained enrolled during the quarter. The amount of aid earned is determined by dividing the number of days completed in the quarter by the total number of days in the quarter.
• Any funds not earned will be returned in the following order:
  1. Unsubsidized Stafford Loan
  2. Subsidized Stafford Loan
  3. Federal Perkins Loan
  4. Federal Graduate PLUS Loan
  5. Federal PLUS Loan
  6. Federal Pell Grant
  7. Academic Competitive Grant
  8. National SMART Grant
  9. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant
  10. Other Title IV Aid
• If a student withdraws before completing 60 percent of the quarter, the student may owe a repayment to the university. A bill will be sent to the student for any balance due as a result of returning financial aid funds.
• Please contact the Financial Aid and Student Accounts Offices before withdrawing to determine what aid will be returned and what you may owe MSOE.

Return of Institutional Funds Policy

• If a recipient of MSOE Scholarships, loans or grants officially withdraws before 6:00 p.m. on Friday of week four, MSOE will calculate the amount institutional aid the student earned and return the unearned aid back to the school.
• The amount of aid earned is determined by dividing the number of days completed in the quarter by the total number of days in the quarter.
