Refund Policy for Financial Aid Recipients

Harper students who are financial aid recipients must be aware of all refund policies including the federal Return of Title IV Funds policy. Eligible students who officially withdraw from all classes on or before 60 percent of the term has elapsed will receive a proportional refund based upon the official date of withdrawal. The official date of withdrawal is the withdrawal date as recorded by the Office of the Registrar and is based on the date that appears on the Student Add/Drop form as filed with that office.

Harper calculates refunds proportionally and must determine the unearned amount of Title IV Funds that must be returned to the Student Financial Aid (SFA) programs. The school bases the amount of unearned assistance that must be refunded on the applicable federal calculations.

Before any refund is made to the student, Scholarships and Financial Assistance must return funds to the appropriate financial aid program(s). If the student is indebted to the College the amount of this debt will be subtracted from any refund due the student. Students may contact Scholarships and Financial Assistance for further details.
