Student Drops, Withdrawals And R2t4 Quiz

1. Lisa comes into the office during the 6th week of the semester. She is thinking about completely withdrawing from the term because it is too expensive and she cannot pay her bill. Academically, she is doing fine. The best advice to give her would be:

To withdraw from the term. Her tuition would be refunded and she would no longer owe a balance.

To stop attending classes. At this point, there's nothing she can do.

To speak with academic advising about her academic options and look at her available funding options to cover her balance.

To transfer to another school.

Withdrawing from classes will not help Lisa pay her bill or reduce the amount owed. She should be encouraged to speak with Academic Advising about her academic options and SFS should provide resources for resolving her balance for the semester, such as a private loan or payment plan.

4. What type of Title IV aid is returned first?

Federal Parent Plus/Graduate Plus Loan

Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan

Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan

Federal Pell Grant

The Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan is returned first because it is a type of Title IV aid that accrues interest while the student is in school. This means that the loan balance increases over time, so it is generally recommended to pay off this loan first to minimize the overall amount of interest paid.

5. Mike completely withdrew from the semester on October 10th (the 40th day in a term with 102 days). He has been awarded Pell, ACG, a subsidized stafford loan and an unsubsidized stafford loan. Verification is still pending so no aid has disbursed. Will SFS be required to complete an R2T4 calculation?

Yes, Mike was awarded Title IV aid and did not complete at least 60% of the term.

No, Mike's aid never disbursed so he is not eligible to receive Title IV aid.

Yes, Mike will be required to complete an R2T4 calculation because he was awarded Title IV aid and did not complete at least 60% of the term. The R2T4 calculation is used to determine the amount of federal financial aid that must be returned to the government when a student withdraws from school before completing the required percentage of the term. Since Mike withdrew from the semester on the 40th day out of 102 days, he did not meet the 60% threshold and therefore the calculation must be completed.
