Louisiana Tech University reserves the right to increase the cost of housing and/or meals at any time if conditions should require such a change. Policy on Return of Title IV Funds The Louisiana Tech University Financial Aid Office is required to administer a return of federal student aid funds that complies with the Higher Education Act Reauthorization of 1998. Federal financial aid includes Federal Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), LEAP funds, Perkins loan, Stafford loans, and PLUS loans. The policy that follows complies with the federal requirements. Title IV funds are awarded to a student under the assumption that the student will attend school for the entire period for which the assistance is awarded. When a student withdraws, the student may no longer be eligible for the full amount of Title IV funds that the student was originally scheduled to receive. The Financial Aid Office recalculates federal financial aid eligibility for students who fail to attend, drop out, resign (officially or unofficially), or are dismissed prior to completing greater than 60% of a quarter. The enrollment period is computed from the "classes begin" date to the "last day of classes" date. Recalculation is based on the percent of aid earned using the following formula: Number of days completed divided by Total Days in the Quarter equals Percent Earned. The date used in the calculation is defined as the date of last attendance. The University must return any unearned aid that was applied to institutional charges. The student then owes the University the amounts returned to the federal aid programs. The student may also be required to return/pay some portion of the federal aid received as a refund to the student. For example, if a student was enrolled for 30% of the enrollment period, the student is entitled to only 30% of the aid received; thus, 70% of the aid must be returned. For the Summer Quarter 2013, the last day to drop with a "W" for 12 weeks courses is July 19; for first 6-weeks courses, June 21; for second 6-weeks courses, July 30. The student who attends beyond July 13th, 2013 is considered as having earned 100% of the federal financial aid. While this return of Title IV funds policy applies solely to students who receive federal financial aid, it must be understood that the Louisiana Tech University refund policy is also applied to all students whether or not they receive federal financial assistance. The student may owe a refund to the University on the basis of their refund rules. Details of the University refund policy are located in the "Schedule of Classes and General Information" and quarterly "Expense Sheet". REFUNDS Processing of refunds for enrolled students will begin approximately 7 days after the last day set aside for drop/add and will continue to be processed each week of the quarter. Students can sign up for electronic deposit of refunds on their B.O.S.S. account. Students not enrolled in electronic deposit can pick up refund checks from the Cashier's Office in Keeny Hall. Refunds not picked up within 21 days of disbursement will be mailed to student's home address. Processing of refunds for students resigning from the University will begin 20 days after the start of classes. Resignation refunds involving federal financial aid programs, waivers, or scholarships will be processed in accordance with these programs. Registration refunds are normally mailed to the student's home address.
