The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEAO) of 2008 requires disclosure of policies that can affect students in colleges and universities. The following information is disclosed in compliance with this federal law.
For the Net Price Calculator, HEOA requires that AB use the data from the most recent year reported available. Therefore, the information provided is representative of 2020-2021. Financial aid is money to be used in meeting educational expenses such as tuition, fees, books, and course supplies. Financial aid awards are based on your individual and family financial need and eligibility as determined through the annual FAFSA application. There are several types of financial aid available at AB, including grants, scholarships, work-study, and loans. Financial aid awards may include a combination of the various types of aid available.

Refund Policy and Requirements for Withdrawal and Return of Financial Aid
Course Withdrawals
If a student drops a course up through the regular registration period, the student is not charged for that course; however, if a student withdraws from a course following the regular registration period, they will be charged for the tuition.
Withdrawal from the University
TUITION
Undergraduate and Graduate Students officially withdrawing from the University, for any reason, before 60% of the semester is complete will be refunded a part of the charges for tuition proportionate to the number of days remaining in the semester. A student withdrawing from the University, for any reason, after 60% of the semester is complete, will not receive any refund for tuition. The percentage for which the student is responsible to pay is calculated by dividing the number of calendar days attended by the total number of calendar days in the semester, excluding scheduled breaks of five days or more.
Students considered unofficially withdrawn will not be eligible for prorate refund process.
ROOM
Undergraduate students officially withdrawing from the University, for any reason, before 60% of the semester is complete, will receive a prorated refund of room charges proportionate to the number of days occupied divided by the total days in the semester. Graduate students who occupy undergraduate housing on a temporary basis who subsequently make alternate arrangements will receive a prorated refund proportionate to the number of days occupied compared to remaining days.
FEES
All fees are nonrefundable.
BOARD
A student officially withdrawing from the University, for any reason, before 60% of the semester is complete will be refunded a part of the charges for the board proportionate to the number of days of the semester remaining after the meal ticket is surrendered. A student withdrawing from the University, for any reason, after 60% of the semester is complete, will not receive any refund for board. The percentage 8 is calculated by dividing the number of calendar days attended by the total number of calendar days in the semester, excluding scheduled breaks of five days or more.
Financial Aid
Refunds of financial aid are a separate calculation to comply with federal regulations.
The calculations include the length of the enrollment period, unpaid institutional charges, all educational costs for the enrollment period, and amounts paid toward institutional charges from financial aid and cash paid by the student. Students who consider withdrawing or reducing hours below full-time are advised to contact the Financial Aid Office.
Charges Payable
All accounts with the university must be paid below the tolerance threshold for that semester before a student is permitted to register for another semester. Transcripts and diplomas will be withheld until the student’s financial obligations to the University have been met.
All term or semester charges are due by August 15th for the fall term and by January 4th for the spring term. If the balance is not paid within 30 days of the due date, a late fee of $150.00 may be assessed. Also, for each month that there is a balance, unpaid interest may be charged on the unpaid amount at the end of each month, excluding August and January. The interest rate is 6% over twelve months (ex. $100 x 6% divided by 12 = $0.50)
Alderson Broaddus University Refund is available in the Academic Catalog found here.
RETURN OF FINANCIAL AID
Refund of Financial Aid
These policies apply only to students who completely terminate their enrollment or stop attending classes before completing more than 60 percent of the enrollment period (term). This policy does not apply to students who withdraw from individual courses, unless all courses are eventually dropped.
When a student withdraws from all of his/her courses, he/she may no longer be eligible for the full amount of Title IV funds that he/she was originally scheduled to receive.
Definition of Return to Title IV (R2T4)
According to Section 484B of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (as amended), students who withdraw or are withdrawn from all classes in a term may be required to return all or part of their Title IV aid received for that term. Title IV aid includes Federal Pell Grant, Federal SEOG (Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant), Direct Subsidized Loan, Direct Unsubsidized Loan, Parent PLUS Loan, Federal Perkins Loan, and Teach Grant.
Title IV aid is awarded to a student under the assumption that he/she will attend school for the entire period for which the assistance is awarded. The return of funds is based upon the concept that students earn their financial aid in proportion to the amount of time in which they are enrolled.
Once 60% of the semester is completed, a student is considered to have earned all of his/her financial aid and will not be required to return any funds.
The Return of Title IV Funds regulation does not dictate the institutional refund policy.
The calculation of Title IV funds earned by the student has NO relationship to the student’s incurred institutional charges.
Withdrawal and Return Process
Determining the withdrawal date
A student’s withdrawal date is used to calculate the amount of financial aid to be returned. To determine the withdrawal date for R2T4, the withdrawal date varies with the type of withdrawal.
Official Withdrawl
A student may provide official notification of his or her intent to withdrawal by following the school’s withdrawal process. The withdrawal date for official withdrawal may either be the date the student began the withdrawal process or the last date of attendance in an academically related activity.
Unofficial Withdraw
A student who leaves AB and does not notify the school of their withdrawal is considered an unofficial withdrawal. There are two categories of these unofficial withdrawals for purposes of R2T4. First, if the AB determines that a student did not begin the withdrawal process or otherwise notify the school of the intent to withdraw due to illness, accident, grievous personal loss, or other circumstances beyond the
student’s control, the withdrawal date is the date the school determines that the student ceased attendance because of the aforementioned applicable event.
The second category of unofficial withdrawals encompasses all other
withdrawals where official notification is not provided to AB. For these withdrawals, commonly known as dropouts, the withdrawal date may be the midpoint of the payment period or period of enrollment, as applicable, or the last date of an academically related activity in which the student participated.
Alderson Broaddus University has an official grading policy that provides instructors with the ability to differentiate between those students who complete the course but failed to achieve the course objectives and those students who did not complete the course. When a student that has begun attendance fails to earn all “NF” at the end of the semester, Alderson Broaddus University, for federal student aid purposes, must assume that the student has unofficially withdrawn or dropped out.
If the student has unofficially withdrawn (shows zero earned hours at the end of the semester), the midpoint of the term is used as the withdrawal date. Therefore, 50% of the student’s federal student aid for the term is considered unearned and may result in a reduction of federal aid.
However, when Alderson Broaddus University can document attendance or participation beyond the 60% point in the semester, the student may be able to retain 100% of his/her federal student aid under these circumstances.
Section 484B (c) of the HEA makes it clear that the determination of a student’s withdrawal date is the responsibility of the institution. Therefore, the institution, not the student, must document a student’s attendance at an academically-related activity. A student’s certification of attendance that is not supported by documentation by the institution would not be acceptable documentation for the student’s last date of attendance at an academically related activity.” (section 668.22 (c ) in the Discussion, Federal Register 34 CFR Part 668, 6682, and 685, Student Assistance General Provisions and FFELP and Direct Loan Program, Final Rule)
Proration Calculation
Title IV aid earned is prorated up to and including the 60% point in the semester. After that point in time, Title IV aid is considered 100% earned. EXCEPTION: If the course or courses are not for the full length of the semester (ex. 1st 7 week class in the summer term), see the section below regarding Module Courses)
Percentage of Title IV aid earned is calculated as follows:
60 (# of days completed) / 106 (Total # of days in term*) = 56.60% ( Earned Title IV Aid )
* Total number of calendar days in a term of enrollment excluding any scheduled breaks of more than five days.
The percentage of unearned Title IV aid is:
100% minus the percent earned. (Example: 100% – 56.60% = 43.40%)
Unearned aid will be returned first by AB from the student’s account calculated as follows:
Total institutional charges X percent of unearned aid = amount to be returned to program(s) by the school
Returning Funds
AB must return any unearned Title IV funds within 45 days of the date the school determined the student withdrew and offer any post-withdraw disbursements of loan funds within 30 days of that date. The University must also disburse any Title IV grant funds a student is due as a part of a Post withdrawal disbursement within 45 days of the date a school determined the student withdrew, plus disburse any loan funds a student accepts within 180 days of that date. Unearned funds are paid directly to the U.S. Department of Education.
This amount is Alderson Broaddus University’s responsibility to return to the appropriate Title IV fund(s); however, because the student did not earn these funds, the amount will be billed to their student account.
Unearned Title IV aid shall be returned to the following programs in the below order:
- Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loan
- Subsidized Federal Direct Loan
- Federal Perkins Loan
- Federal Graduate PLUS Loan
- Federal Parent PLUS Loan
- Federal Pell Grant
- Federal SEOG
- Federal Teach Grant
- Other Title IV grants or loan assistance
Unearned Title IV funds must be returned within 45 days of the student’s withdrawal. AB will return the student’s unearned Title IV funding on their behalf and consider the returned funds as the student’s debt owed to AB.
NOTE: If a student did not receive funds in one of the programs listed above, there would be no funds to return. Also, any loan amount not returned remains subject to the terms of the promissory note signed by the student.
Module Courses
A student is a withdrawal for Title IV purposes if the student ceases attendance at any point prior to completing the payment period or period of enrollment, unless the school obtains written confirmation from the student at the time of the withdraw that he/she will attend a module that begins later in the term. If the school obtains this confirmation of future attendance, but he/she does not return as scheduled, the student is considered to have withdrawn from the payment period or period of enrollment. The student’s withdrawal date and a total number of calendar days in the payment or enrollment period would be the initial withdrawal date.
Non-Title IV Funds
Non-Title IV aid (including alternative loans) is refunded to its source according to the institutional tuition refund schedule located in the catalog.
Refunds on all institutional charges, including tuition and fees, will be calculated using the refund policy published in the Alderson Broaddus University Catalog and will be calculated and determined by the Business Office.
Refunds and adjusted student statement bills will be sent by the Business Office to the student’s address on file with the Registrar’s office following a withdraw.
Students are responsible for any portion of their institutional charges left outstanding after Title IV funds are returned and any institutional and/or other aid that may have been adjusted. Students must make arrangements with the Business Office for repayment of the outstanding charges. Consequences of non-payment include blocks on re-enrollment, transcript and diploma holds, and student account placement with Collections.

Withdrawal from University
- A student withdrawing from the University, either during an academic term or at the completion of an academic term, must complete a withdrawal form available in the Registrar’s Office
- Failure to comply with this procedure will result in course failure and a final grade of “NF” will be recorded on the student’s permanent record
- Withdrawing from the University means withdrawing from all registered courses. This is only permitted with a grade of “W” during the period prior to the last day to withdraw each semester. After the last day to withdraw, a grade in each course must be assigned.
Change of Registration
- Any change in registration must be processed through the Registrar’s Office.
- “Dropping” a course within the first five days will not be entered on the permanent record but must be properly processed.
- If a student “withdraws” from a course following the Add/Drop period, but within the published withdrawal time frame, he or she receives a grade of W.
- Withdrawal beyond the published withdrawal deadline will result in a failing grade of “NF” indicating that the student failed to maintain active participation in the course, is non-compliant with withdrawal policies, and failed to achieve course requirements due to non-attendance. Faculty must record the date the student last participated in the course on the final course grade roster. The Provost/Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs may review individual cases and make an exception to this application if a health or other emergency beyond the student’s control existed.
- A student withdrawing from courses that take them to less than 6 credit hours must complete an exit interview with the Financial Aid Office.
- A student who has registered for auditing cannot change the registration to credit after the end of the add/drop period.
