Spring 2015 Withdrawal Policy and Dates
When a student decreases the number of hours attempted during a term, a refund may be calculated based upon the official drop
date as presented to the Registrar’s Office. Credits are based on the tuition charges, not the amount paid. If the student is receiving
financial assistance, credits will be returned to the financial aid accounts, including lenders of student loans, before any money is returned to the student. Students should note that the requirement to return the unearned portion of the federal financial aid might
leave them owing a balance due to Cumberland University.
Withdrawals from school for any reason, during any term, must be made by official notification to the Registrar’s Office. FAILURE
TO ATTEND CLASSES DOES NOT CANCEL ENROLLMENT.
The federal refund calculation policy will be used for students who have attended classes at CU and are receiving Title IV financial
assistance.
Refund or credit on account of residence hall rent after registration must be approved by the Vice President for Finance. Refunds
will be granted on a pro-rata basis when the student is forced to withdraw from the residence hall for personal medical reasons
confirmed by a licensed physician, or at the request of Cumberland University Administration for reasons other than disciplinary. No
refund will be made other than under the above circumstances.
When a student who has received federal financial aid (PELL Grants, FSEOG Grants, Federal Perkins Loans, Direct Federal Stafford
Loans, or Direct Federal Parent Loans for Undergraduates) completely withdraws from the University, the unearned portion of the
aid must be returned to the program. The unearned portion is calculated up to the first 60% of the enrollment period. The calculations are made on a pro-rata basis, based upon the total enrollment period. The federal government has set the order in which unearned aid must be returned to the programs. Please see the University Catalog for information regarding the order in which refunds are returned.
