Return of Title IV Funds

Return of Title IV Funds (R2T4) is a calculation that an institution must perform once it has determined that a student has fully withdrawn, officially or unofficially, from the institution. At that time the institution will perform a calculation that determines how much federal aid a student has earned based on the last date of academic participation in their courses for a given semester. Based on this calculation, it is possible that a portion of the funds would have to be repaid to the U.S. Department of Education, which could result in a charge on the student’s account. For more information review our Return of Title IV Funds Policy below.

Faqs

A Return of Title IV Funds calculation would be required when the student is considered as withdrawn from the university. This may be due to an official withdrawal through the UAFS registrar’s online withdrawal process in My.UAFS or by ceasing to attend courses within the semester

A drop from a course occurs when a course is removed from a student's enrollment during the add/drop period of a semester. A withdrawal from a course occurs when a student withdraws from a course after the add/drop period of a semester and grade of W is assigned to the course.

Yes. When a student withdraws from a course during a semester or completely withdraws from all courses after the add/drop period, that student will receive W’s on their transcript. These credit hours will count against the student's course completion rate (PACE) for Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP).

For more information about how dropping/withdrawing can affect you, review our Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy and our Return of Title IV Funds Policy.
