Refund Policy for Financial Aid Borrowers
Regulations governing the return of Title IV government loans require schools to return all unearned tuition to the lender. This will lower the amount of the borrower鈥檚 loan. Returns of government loans are determined by a pro-rata calculation based on the last date the student attended a class. Returns of Title IV funds are recorded to student鈥檚 account and affect what amount may be refunded to the student when a course is dropped, or a student withdraws. Students are responsible for any balance due resulting from a return of Title IV funds.
Financial aid refunds are issued via ACH/direct deposit unless an exception is requested from the Bursar at attnbursar@swc.edu .
