Financial Aid Repayment Policy

When a student withdraws from school before completing an enrollment period, WVU must determine whether any of the student's financial aid must be repaid.

Students earn Title IV federal student financial aid based on the length of time enrolled.  If more than 60% of the enrollment period is completed, all Title IV funds are considered "earned", and no funds have to be repaid.

If charges over and above the amount of retainable Title IV financial aid are not covered by other funds, West Virginia University will bill the student to make up the difference.

Students owing a repayment to any federally sponsored student aid program cannot receive any federally supported student financial assistance for future enrollment periods until repayment arrangements have been made with either the West Virginia University Office of Student Accounts or the U. S. Department of Education.
