Refund policy

Refunds are only calculated for total withdrawal from an enrollment period. All
students must officially withdraw through the Office of the Registrar. Refunds will
be calculated from the first day of class to the last date of attendance for an
enrollment period or to the official withdrawal date for an enrollment period as
determined by the College. Refunds will be based on the following policies
regardless of the reason for withdrawal.

A. Spring Hill College’s Refund Policy Students who withdraw from all classes
prior to completion of 60 percent of the term will have their tuition,
comprehensive fee, room and/or board charges reduced in accordance with the
appropriate percentage calculated using the Return of Title IV Funds formula.
(i.e., if the student has completed 37% of the term, then tuition, comprehensive
fee, room and/or board charges will be reduced by 63%.) Institutional aid will be
prorated by the same above percentage. After returning the required amount to
the appropriate federal fund(s), should a credit remain the student will be
refunded. Students do not receive a refund of institutional aid.

B. Return of Title IV Federal Financial Aid When a student withdraws from all
classes, Spring Hill College determines if a refund is due and if the student is a
Title IV recipient. The amount of earned and unearned federal financial aid funds
that the student has received, or is eligible to receive, is determined in
accordance with federal regulations. If the student has completed 60 percent or
more of the term, no refund is due. The law assumes that a student “earns”
approved (verified) federal financial aid awards in proportion to the number of
days in the term prior to the student’s complete withdrawal.

All students who receive Title IV SFA monies through the Office of Student
Financial Services and who withdraw should see the Student Financial Services
Section of this Bulletin for further information concerning the prescribed
distribution order of refund monies back to the SFA programs, other sources of
aid and the student (if any remains).

Tuition and fees represent a substantial investment. As discussed above, only
part (if any) of the total cost of attendance is refunded at withdrawal. This also
applies to the student who suffers a serious illness or accident and must
withdraw.
