If you do not complete the required number of credits for the 2021-2022 year by the end of Spring Quarter 2022, your eligibility for aid will be suspended, we will stop processing your aid and Summer Quarter 2022 aid will not be disbursed to you.
Summer refund and repayment policy
Financial aid will be refunded to the aid programs if you withdraw from all of your classes during the university or federal refund period. In addition, if you withdraw Summer Quarter, you may owe immediate repayment of aid you received (except direct loans that are payable according to the terms of the promissory note). If you withdraw during the federal refund period, (i.e., the first 60% of your enrollment period, the amount of aid that must be returned to the aid programs is based on the proportion of the quarter remaining (that was not completed). For example, if you withdraw with 80% of the quarter remaining, 80% of your aid funds must be returned to the aid programs. The amount that you must repay immediately depends on the amount of university fees and the type and amount of aid for summer. Please see Withdrawal and Refund.
