Financial Aid Refund Policy
San Bernardino Valley College will determine the amount of federal
financial aid that a student has “earned” in accordance with federal
regulations. Federal regulations require that the Financial Aid Office
performs a calculation to determine how much financial aid a student has
earned. This calculation is called a “Return to Title IV” calculation. (Title IV
refers to Federal Financial Aid Programs). San Bernardino Valley College
Financial Aid Office uses a federal formula to determine how much aid a
student earned based on his/her last day of attendance. Students who
receive federal financial aid and do not begin attendance in any of their
classes will be required to repay all of the funds they received. Students
who withdraw from all classes prior to completing more than 60 percent of
the semester will have their financial aid eligibility recalculated based on
the percentage of the semester completed, and will be required to repay
any “unearned” financial aid they received. At San Bernardino Valley
College, a student’s withdrawal date is:
•
The date the student officially notified the Admissions Office of his or
her intent to withdraw;
•
The midpoint of the semester for a student who leaves without
notifying the college;
•
The student’s last date of attendance at a documented academically
related activity.
