If a student begins class attendance in any term and then withdraws completely from SCI-Arc or earns no units after financial aid has been disbursed, that student may be required to return all or part of the funds received, including funds credited to pay tuition and fees. Since financial aid must be used solely for educationally related expenses during periods of enrollment, federal regulations require SCI-Arc’s financial aid office to calculate the amount of aid the student "earned" for the number of days he or she attended. "Unearned" aid, that covered periods of the semester when the student did not attend classes or were not enrolled, must be repaid. If the student withdraws prior to the start of the semester or never attended any classes, 100% of aid disbursed to that student account and / or disbursed to the student must be repaid.
If a repayment is owed, the student will be billed by the finance office and will have 45 days to arrange satisfactory repayment. The student will not be eligible for further aid until repayment is made in full. The student may also be reported to the US Department of Education or to a collection agency representing SCI-Arc for collection. If a student must leave SCI-Arc for any reason, they should withdraw officially by contacting the registrar’s office.
