Return of Financial Aid Funds Policy
If a student withdraws officially or unofficially from National Beauty College (NBC), then the school and/or the student may be required to return some of the federal funds awarded to the student. If the student received financial assistance, then a portion of the refund will be returned to the funding source from which the assistance was received.
If a student will be withdrawing, then the student should visit the office and complete a form entitled “Withdrawal Form” to begin the withdrawal process. This procedure will enable NBC to refund the maximum possible institutional and student charges.
NBC’s Refund Policy exists for calculating the refund of institutional charges (see Refund Policy). The Federal “Return of Title IV Funds” formula dictates the amount of Federal Title IV aid that must be returned to the Federal government by the school and/or the student. The federal formula is applicable to a student receiving federal aid other than Federal Work-Study if that student withdraws on or before the 60% point in time in the semester.
The federal formula requires a return of Title IV aid if the student received federal financial assistance in the form of a Federal Pell Grant, Academic Competitiveness Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Federal Student loan or PLUS loan and withdrew on or before completing 60% of the semester. The percentage of Title IV aid to be returned is equal to the number of calendar days remaining in the term divided by the number of calendar days in the term. Scheduled breaks of more than four consecutive days are excluded.
For Example:
Return of Unearned Title IV Aid (34CFR 668.22)
The federal rules state that you earn your aid based on the period of time you remained enrolled.
enrolled days
--------------------------- = % of aid earned
days in the
enrollment period
The Office of Financial Aid calculates the percentage of aid earned using this formula. If you remain enrolled beyond the 60 percent point, you earn all your aid for the period. Aid earned is credited to your tuition and fee bill. Worksheets used to determine the amount of refund or Return of Title IV aid are available upon request.
All awarded and accepted aid is paid to your student account in the beginning of a term. Aid is considered to be earned, on a prorated basis, on the total number of days you attend a term by the Department of Education. For example, if you completed 30% of the term, you have earned 30% of your aid and you will have to return a portion of aid that you have not earned. Once you have completed more than 60% of the term, the Department of Education considers you to have earned 100% of your aid.
For students with Title IV grants (Pell), 50% of your grant aid is protected from return to the school or the Department of Education.
1. Federal Pell Grants
This policy applies to students with financial aid who officially or unofficially withdraw from the college. Repayment of any funds due by the student must be paid within 45 days of the date of notification to avoid being sent to the State of Colorado Collections Agency. Funds not received by 45 days will be transferred and reported as an “overpayment” to the U.S. Department of Education.
