State Financial Aid Refunds
General
Students who fail to attend classes, who withdraw or reduce enrollment levels prior to the start term, fail to commence attendance in all classes for which their enrollment level/award amount are based on or who receive funding based on fraudulent information will be required to repay 100% of the funds received.
Students who have received state aid (aid disbursed prior to the start of the term) and who change enrollment status prior to the first day of the term, must have their state aid eligibility recalculated to reflect their enrollment status as of the start of the term.
Students who fail to commence attendance in all classes for which their enrollment level/award amount is based must have their state aid eligibility recalculated to reflect only their enrollment level for those classes they attended.
Students who make enrollment status adjustment (up or down) after disbursement and after the start of the term will be subject to completion of satisfactory academic progress requirements outlined under 250-21-010 (16) (a-e). Enrollment status increase must include WCG awards based on that enrollment and may not exceed need. However, students may not receive more WCG than the cost of their tuition and fees.
Please note that WSAC has defined award amounts based on actual tuition and estimated fees using a 15 credit tuition and fee amount. Adjustments are only required for less than full time enrollment, as a result of need limitations, or quarters of eligibility restrictions.
If a student's enrollment is adjusted during the tuition refund period and tuition is reduced, and the student failed to commence attendance in all classes for which their disbursement was made, the grant must be reduced to not exceed the cost of tuition and fees.
Note: For this section, "state grant" refers to all state grant and scholarship programs.
