STUDENT ELIGIBILITY - Applying for Aid | How to Apply
POLICY FOR WITHDRAWALS AND UNOFFICIAL WITHDRAWALS
If you totally withdraw from school, the law states that the amount of Federal Student Aid Assistance you have “earned” up to the point of withdrawal must be determined by a specific formula. If you received more assistance than you earned, the excess funds must be returned. unofficial withdrawal is when you stop attending classes and do not complete the Withdrawal Form in the Registrar’s Office located in Building 39, Room A-14.
The amount of assistance you have earned is determined on a pro-rata basis. That is, if you completed 30 percent of the payment period or five (5) weeks of classes, you earned 30 percent of the assistance you were originally scheduled to receive. The unearned portion must be repaid by the student. If you do not repay these funds to the University, you will be barred from the next registration period.
Students, who complete at least 60 percent of the payment period or ten weeks of the semester, earned the amount of the financial aid.
For additional information on this policy, please call 202-274-5060 or come to the Financial Aid Office located Building 39, Room 101 or refer to the 2004-2005 Student Hand Book, or the Schedule of Classes page 9-10.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT FINANCIAL AID
BOOK VOUCHERS
A Book Voucher is not additional financial aid. Amounts charged at the bookstore against a Book Voucher are added to your UDC student account and will reduce the amount of any refund of financial aid you may receive for the semester.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENT AID
To be eligible for Federal Student Aid, a student must be a U.S. Citizen or an eligible non-citizen. International students do have the opportunity to explore Alternative Loan Programs. An Alternative lender is International Education Finance Corporation. The web site is www.iefc.com |
