Summer 2009
The withdrawal process is initiated at the Registrar's Office through the filing of a withdrawal form, which must be finished in its entirety to complete the withdrawal process.
Refunds are based on Quinnipiac University Policy and the Return of Unearned Title IV Funds as required by the U.S. Department of Education.
For purposes of clarification and for reference, the policies described below have been categorized into two groups: (1) Quinnipiac University Policy and (2) Return of Unearned Title IV Funds - Federal Policy.
Federal guidelines require that any unearned Title IV funds be returned to the program(s) that provided the aid. The required order of returning refunds is as follows: Title IV, HEA programs, other federal and state programs, University grants, private or institutional financial assistance and finally to the student. Examples of refund calculations are available upon request.

DISMISSALS AND SUSPENSIONS
A student who is either dismissed or suspended by the University for any reason during either academic semester will receive a refund based on the applicable refund percentage in effect at the time of the student's dismissal or suspension. In addition, a student who is dismissed or suspended will be charged all administrative fees and board fees as prescribed.
RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS
In addition to the University's refund policy that prorates tuition charges, the University is obliged to return to the federal government that portion of federal aid that is unearned. An award of Title IV funds is based on a payment period or term.
Please note:It is important to understand that if your withdrawal date is on or before the completion of 60 percent of the semester, "unearned aid" will result. If you have received a refund as a result of aid applied to your account prior to your withdrawal date, you will have a balance due the University on your student account.
The University must determine the following:
The total amount of unearned assistance to be returned is the lesser of (a) the total amount disbursed minus the total amount earned or (b) the institutional charges time the percentage of aid unearned. The student is responsible for returning the remainder of unearned aid that is calculated by taking the total of unearned aid and subtracting the amount the University is required to return.
