The Office of Financial Assistance will determine the amounts to be credited to the student’s account prior to the refund calculation based on federal or state regulations or private source regulations.
Return of Title IV Funds:
As a requirement set forth by the Department of Education, the Office of Financial Assistance is required to return a percentage of Federal Financial Aid that was disbursed to students who have completely withdrawn from UIW or have stopped attending all classes (unofficial withdrawal). The amount of aid returned is determined by the following formula:
Number of days attended / Total days in the semester = % of aid “earned”.
Any aid above and beyond this amount must be returned to its source, leaving a balance at the University. Additionally, if the student receives a partial or full refund of tuition and fees, any State or Institutional grants must be reduced by the percentage of refund received. Outside scholarships may be reduced or completely removed from the student’s account dependent upon the policies of the donor(s).
Please remember that withdrawals affect the student’s status of Satisfactory Academic Progress. For more information about Satisfactory Academic Progress, please see http://www.uiw.edu/finaid/finaideligibility.html.

A student that withdraws and has received financial assistance must complete an exit counseling session. The student may fulfill this requirement by logging on to www.mapping-your-future.org or visiting the Office of Financial Assistance for a counseling interview.
In addition, if a student received an institutional loan such as Perkins, Ralston, Nursing, or Faculty Nursing and is not planning on attending during the upcoming semester or is planning to graduate, the student is required to complete an electronic exit interview. Please call the Business Office at (210) 829-6084 if you have any questions or to receive instructions on completing an exit interview.
