If the student is eligible for a loan guaranteed by the federal or state government and the student defaults on the loan, both of the following may occur. (1) The federal or state government or a loan guarantee agency may take action against the student, including applying any income tax refund to which the person is entitled to reduce the balance owed on the loan. (2) The student may not be eligible for any other federal student financial aid at another institution or other government assistance until the loan is repaid. SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS Federal regulations (CFR 668.34) require that, in order to be eligible for assistance from Title IV student aid, all students (fulltime, part-time, undergraduate, and graduate) must maintain satisfactory academic progress toward completion of their degree. All students who receive institutional, federal and state financial aid must meet the academic standards of Shepherd University and the standards of satisfactory academic progress defined by federal regulations as follows. Students must complete their degree within a maximum period of 150% of the published length of the academic program; complete 66.67% of all attempted courses ; and maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.00 at the end of each term. Students not meeting SAP are subject to dismissal from their program of study and are ineligible to receive financial aid, except under special circumstances. When a student s progress is evaluated as prescribed and his or her academic performance is below either of the thresholds required to maintain SAP, the student s academic progress will be projected to determine if and when it would be possible for the student to reestablish SAP. RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS When a student who receives federal financial aid withdraws from Shepherd University, the Financial Aid Office must calculate the amount of financial aid the student and the school must return to federal programs. When the student officially withdraws from the university after the 60 percent point in an enrollment period or term, any federal financial aid received is

5 considered earned and the student is not required to return the financial aid. When the withdrawal happens on or before the 60 percent point, the student must return the unearned portion of the aid to the respective Title IV programs. Unearned aid is calculated by multiplying unearned aid percentage by the amount of aid received. Unearned aid percentage is calculated by dividing the number of days remaining in the term after withdrawing by the total number of days in the term. Return of funds are allocated in the following order: (1) Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans, (2) Subsidized Federal Stafford Loans, (3) Federal Perkins Loans, (4) Federal Parent (PLUS) Loans, (5) Federal Pell Grants, (6) Federal Supplemental Opportunity Grants, (7) Other Title IV Programs, (8) Federal or State Programs where a return is required. STUDENT TUITION RECOVERY FUND (STRF) You must pay the state-imposed assessment for the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) if all of the following applies to the Shepherd: (1) You are a student in an educational program, who is a California resident, or are enrolled in a residency program, and prepay all of part of your tuition either by cash, guaranteed student loans, or personal loans, and (2). Your total charges are not paid by any third-party payer such as an employer, government program or other payer unless you have a separate agreement to repay the third party. You are not eligible for protection from the STRF and you are not required to pay the STRF assessment if either of the following applies: (1). You are not a California resident, or are not enrolled in a residency program, or (2). Your total charges are paid by a third party, such as an employer, government program or other payer, and you have no separate agreement to repay the third party. The State of California created the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) to relieve or mitigate economic losses suffered by students in educational programs who are California residents, or are enrolled in a residency programs attending certain schools regulated by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education. You may be eligible for STRF if you are a California resident or are enrolled in a residency program, prepaid tuition, paid the STRF assessment, and suffered an economic loss as a result of any of the following: (1).
