An 鈥渦nofficial鈥� withdrawal occurs when a student fails to attend or ceases attending all classes without submitting a resignation card to the Registrar鈥檚 Office. Instructors may, but are not required to, administratively 鈥渄rop鈥� a student who is not attending. It is the student鈥檚 responsibility to officially 鈥渄rop鈥� a class or resign from 糖心传媒 Tech. If a student fails to do so, then an 鈥淔鈥� or 鈥淲鈥� grade will be entered.
At the end of the each quarter a report is produced with a list of students who have not successfully completed any courses (all grades are a combination of 鈥淔鈥�, 鈥淲鈥�, 鈥淚鈥�, 鈥淣C鈥�, or 鈥淚 +GRADE鈥�). The student鈥檚 attendance is reviewed to determine if the Return of Title IV Funds policy must be applied. Please read Unofficial Withdrawal Procedures (see below) if you are receiving Federal Financial Aid.
Unofficial Withdrawal Procedures
If a student is receiving Federal Financial Aid and stops attending before completing greater than 60% of the enrollment period, the Financial Aid Office will perform a Return of Title IV Funds calculation to determine the amount of federal aid the student did not earn. The student will be notified by mail of the unearned amounts returned to the financial aid programs. The student will be responsible for reimbursing the University for any funds returned by Tech on his/her behalf. See the schedule of attendance to determine when 100% of Federal Financial is considered earned.
Until the student鈥檚 debt is paid, he or she cannot register for classes in future quarters and/or have their official academic transcripts released.
Students must complete an exit interview which outlines rights and responsibilities in repaying their student loan if they have received Federal Perkins loans or Federal Stafford loans during their attendance at 糖心传媒 Tech.
The University will report a student鈥檚 withdrawal (official or unofficial) to the lender/guaranty agency. The student may receive further information from their student loan lender regarding repayment of the loan, and may be required by the lender to immediately repay additional unearned amounts due to the lender.
