None Days 13-21

All monies due to a student shall be refunded within 60 days from the last day of attendance or within 60 days from the receipt of payment if the date of receipt of payment is after the student's last day of attendance. Fees and other charges are non-refundable.

GEN1001 or MPP1000 Introduction to Online Learning: A student enrolled in either of the two-week prerequisite orientation classes may drop the course during the first five days (until 5 pm., CST, of day 5) and receive a full refund. However, there is no refund or withdrawal after the fifth day.

Return of Title IV Funds

Nazarene Bible College follows the federal return of Title IV funds provisions for federal aid recipients. Under these provisions, when a recipient of federal Student Financial Aid (SFA) funds withdraws from the college, the college must determine the amount of SFA funds earned as of the student’s official withdrawal date. If the day the student withdrew occurs after the student has completed more than 60% of the payment period or period of enrollment, the percentage earned is 100%.

If the total amount of funds earned is less than the amount disbursed, non-need based aid will be returned to the appropriate SFA programs prior to need based aid within 45 days of the date that the school determined that the student withdrew.

If the total amount of SFA funds earned is greater than the total amount of funds disbursed, the difference between these amounts may be treated as a post-withdrawal disbursement. If eligible, a post-withdrawal disbursement of grant funds will be made within 45 days of the date the school determined that the student withdrew. Any offer of a post-withdrawal disbursement of student loan funds will be made within 30 days of the date the school determined that the student withdrew, with an additional 14-day timeframe for the student to accept or decline all or part of the loan offer.

If a student withdraws from any or all classes in a term or drops below half-time status, the business office will determine, based on refund policies, if any refund of tuition is due on the student’s account. At that time, it will be determined if any portion of Title IV funds must be returned to the federal aid programs. The student is responsible for paying any balance due resulting from the return of funds to the Title IV Federal Aid programs upon their withdrawal. If a credit balance exists on the student’s account at the time of withdrawal, the school will disburse the credit balance to the student after 14 calendar days of the return calculation. If a credit balance occurs after the return calculation, the school will disburse the credit balance to the student within 14 calendar days of the return calculation.

Unofficial Withdrawal

Students who leave school and cease to attend all courses within a term, without completing the official withdrawal process, are also subject to a return of funds calculation. In this case, the financial aid office will use the last day of class attendance recorded in the school database to calculate the amount of SFA funds earned.

Forfeiture

A student placed on probation because of disciplinary or academic reasons may forfeit all rights to financial assistance. The suspension process includes three steps: warning, suspension with opportunity for appeal, and removal from aid eligibility. The entirety of this process can be found in the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy listed at https://nbc.edu/financialaid/. During any given term, if a student falls below four credit hours because of a dropped or withdrawn course, institutional scholarship aid is also forfeited at the rate of refund listed in the Policy on Refunds section. Graduating seniors may be given special consideration.
