Every applicant who has been accepted for admission into Felbry College- School of Nursing and signs an enrollment agreement has the legal right to rescind or cancel their enrollment without penalty within three (3) business days after signing the agreement. In these cases, the student is entitled to a full refund of all monies paid, excluding the registration fee.
When a student withdraws or is withdrawn from the program, Felbry College- School of Nursing uses a two-part process to determine whether the student is entitled to a refund or whether the student owes tuition and fees to the school and whether any Title IV financial aid awarded to the student must be returned to the U. S. Department of Education (ED).
After the 3-day rescission period, Felbry College- School of Nursing uses its “Tuition Earned” schedule to determine how much of the total program tuition the school has earned based on how long the student remained in the program. It then uses ED’s “Return to Title IV” (R2T4) policy to determine how much of the Title IV funding, if any, awarded to the student Felbry College- School of Nursing has earned and can keep to apply to the student’s tuition debt and how much, if any, of those Title IV funds must be returned to the Department. Both of those schedules are presented below.
After these calculations have been made, if there is a credit balance due to the student, the credit will be refunded within 45 days after the student withdraws or is withdrawn or dismissed.
Students who, at the time of their withdrawal, have not paid the full amount of tuition Felbry College- School of Nursing has earned are legally obligated to pay the institution any difference between the amount paid and the amount Felbry College- School of Nursing has earned.
TITLE IV RETURN CALCULATION:
To determine how much financial aid, if any, must be returned to the U.S. Department of Education, Felbry College- School of Nursing uses the formula below. The top number, or the numerator, is the total calendar days completed by the withdrawn student before the withdrawal. The bottom number, the denominator, is the total calendar days in payment period. For Felbry College- School of Nursing, the normal payment period varies depending on the program and semester. The total number of days completed are counted from the student’s first day of attendance to his or her last known date of attendance.
Important Note: If a student attends more than 60% of total calendar days in the payment period, no return of Title IV funds is required.
Total calendar days completed /Total calendar days in payment period = % of Title IV Aid Earned
Example:
Missy started school on September 1st and withdrew on October 9th. There was one Monday holiday during that time. The semester calendar days runs through to December 18th. Missy attended a total of 28 days of 79 calendar days in the semester.
Total calendar days completed/Total calendar days in payment period = 28/79 = 35.44%
In this example, only 35.44% of the Title IV financial aid received was earned. The remaining funds must be returned to the U.S. Department of Education according to the order listed in the next section.
Note: Students should understand that, even though Felbry College- School of Nursing may be required to return Title IV funds to the U. S. Department of Education, the student will still be financially responsible to pay Felbry College- School of Nursing for any tuition owed after those Title IV funds have been returned.
ORDER OF RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS:
Felbry College- School of Nursing must return to the U.S. Department of Education any Title IV funds that it collected for a student but, based on refund calculations; the student was not in school long enough for all of the Title IV financial aid to be given to the student or kept by Felbry College- School of Nursing.
The financial aid must be returned to the Title IV program(s) that the money came from. If the aid came from more than one Title IV program, it must be returned in the priority order listed below.
