RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS POLICY: This policy applies to all students who withdraw, drop out, or are terminated by Midwest Technical Institute and receive financial aid from the Title IV funds. The term Title IV Funds refers to Federal Pell Grants, Subsidized Federal Stafford Loans, Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans, and Federal Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS). For purposes of the Return of Title IV Funds Policy, a student s withdrawal date is: the student s last day of attendance. Title IV aid is earned in a prorated manner on a per diem basis up to and including the 60 percent point in the payment period. Title IV aid is considered 100 percent earned after that point in time. Students who withdraw from the school or are terminated by the school prior to completing more than 60 percent of their payment period (a period of time for which student receive Title IV aid) will have their Title IV eligibility recalculated based on the percent of the payment period attended. The percent of Title IV aid earned is calculated as: Number of days completed by the student divided by the number of days in the payment period equal the percent of payment period completed. The total number of calendar days in a payment period and the number of days completed by the student will exclude any scheduled breaks of five days or more, as well as any days the student was on an approved Leave of Absence. In the case of a clock hour program the percentage will be the number of hours scheduled to be completed as of the student s last day of attendance divided by the total clock hours in the payment period. 13 of 17

14 The amount of aid unearned will be the total amount of aid that was disbursed or could have been disbursed for the payment period. If the amount of unearned aid exceeds the amount earned, then the school, the student or both must return the Title IV funds to the appropriate Title IV account. The amount to be returned equals the amount of aid that was disbursed minus the amount of aid earned. The amount of Title IV aid unearned that will be returned by MTI to the appropriate Title IV program the student or the amount of institutional charges that the student incurred during the payment period multiplied by the percentage of the funds unearned. The Title IV funds will be returned in the following order: o o o o o Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan Federal PLUS Federal Pell Grant Other grants or loan assistance authorized by Title IV of the HEA MTI will return the unearned aid within 45 days from the date the school determined the student withdrew. When the amount of unearned aid is greater than the amount returned by MTI from the student s account, the student is responsible for returning unearned aid to the appropriate Title IV program as follows: o Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan* o Subsidized Federal Stafford Loan* o Federal PLUS* o Federal Pell Grant** o Other grants or loan assistance by Title IV of the HEA The student (or the parent in the case of funds due to a parent PLUS Loan) must return or repay as appropriate, the amount determined to be: *Any title IV loan program in accordance with the terms of the loan listed on the promissory note; and **Any title IV grant program as on overpayment of the grant; however, a student is not required to return the following: o The portion of a grant overpayment amount that is equal to 50 percent of the total grant assistance that was disbursed (and that could have been disbursed) to the student for the payment period of enrollment. o With respect to any grant program, a grant overpayment amount of 50 dollars or less is not a remaining balance. Within thirty (30) days of the date the school determined the student withdrew, the student will be notified in writing if they are required to return any federal grant aid (Federal Pell). The student is considered to be in an over payment status. A student who owes a federal grant overpayment remains eligible for Title IV funds for a period of 45-days from the earlier of the date the school sends a notification to the student of the overpayment, or the date the school was required to notify the student of over payment. If during the 45-day period the student repays the overpayment to the school or signs a repayment agreement with the U.S. Department of Education, the student will remain eligible for further Title IV funds. If during the 45 day period the student fails to repay the overpayment or sign a repayment agreement with the U.S. Department of Education, the student is considered to be in an overpayment status and, thus, ineligible for any additional Title IV aid until that amount is repaid. If the total amount of title IV grant or loan assistance, or both, that the student earned is greater than the total amount of title IV assistance that was disbursed as of the date of the institution s determination that the student withdrew, the difference between these amounts must be treated as a post-withdrawal disbursement. If outstanding charges exist on the student s account, the institution may credit the student s account up to the amount of outstanding charges with all or a portion of any: o o Grant funds that make up the post-withdrawal disbursement Loan funds that make up the post-withdrawal disbursement only after obtaining confirmation for the student or parent in the case of a parent PLUS loan, that they still wish to have the loan funds disbursed. REFUND POLICY FOR STUDENTS USING VETERANS EDUCATION BENEFITS: The school will charge a sum which does not vary more than 10% from the exact pro rata portion of tuition, fees, and other charges that the length of the completed portion of the program bears to its total length. The exact portion will be determined on the ratio of the number of days of instruction completed by the student to the total number of instructional days in the program (number of hours completed divided by the total number of hours in program plus 10% = refund). Refund will be made within forty (40) days of the change in student status. 14 of 17

15 IOWA REFUND POLICY: The Iowa State Refund Policy applies to residents of Iowa who are enrolled in programs of Midwest Technical Institute.

If a student withdraws from a program after beginning attendance, the student shall receive a refund of tuition charges in an amount that is not less than ninety percent of the amount of tuition charged to the student multiplied by the ratio of the remaining number of calendar days in the program to the total number of calendar days in the program. For Cosmetology students, if a student withdraws from the program after beginning attendance, the student shall receive a refund of tuition charges in an amount that is not less than ninety percent of the amount of tuition charged to the student multiplied by the ratio of the remaining number of clock hours in the program to the total number of clock hours in the program. Any refund of tuition charges will be made within 45 days following the date of the determination that the student has withdrawn.

16 Choice of Law You and I agree that the Enrollment Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce, that the arbitrator shall apply federal law to the fullest extent possible, and that the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. 1-16) (including the applicable substantive and procedural provisions thereof) ( FAA ), and not any state law, shall govern the applicability, interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement that is included in the Enrollment Agreement.

Upon the timely request of either party, the arbitrator shall render a written decision setting forth his or her essential findings and the basis of his or her award. If the arbitrator determines that any claim or defense is frivolous or wrongfully intended to oppress the other party, the arbitrator may award sanctions against the applicable party in the form of fees and expenses reasonably incurred by the other party (including arbitration administration fees, arbitrator s fees, and attorney, expert and witness fees), to the extent such fees and expenses could be imposed on a party or a party s counsel under Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The arbitrator may also award fees and expenses in accordance with any applicable AAA rule. Effect of Arbitration Award - Any state or federal court with jurisdiction and venue may enter an order enforcing this Arbitration Agreement, enter judgment upon the arbitrator s award and/or take any action authorized under the FAA. For any arbitration-related proceedings in which courts are authorized to take action under the FAA, each party expressly consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any state court of general jurisdiction or any state court of equity that is reasonably convenient to me, provided that the parties to any such judicial proceeding shall have the right to initiate such proceeding in a federal court or remove the proceeding to federal court if authorized to do so under applicable federal law. Survival, Severability: This Arbitration Agreement shall survive the termination of my relationship with you or any change in my enrollment status.
