* 25% tuition adjustment only applies to tuition and fees charged by the university. (All 3rd party charges, including health and disability insurance, must be negotiated with the service provider. See the Medical Student Handbook Tuition Refund Policy for details.)

**Return to Title IV (R2T4) Students who do not complete more than 60% of each Semester (half of the academic year), must have a process called “Return to Title IV Funds” run to determine how much of their Title IV Federal financial aid (Unsubsidized and/or Graduate PLUS Loans) has been earned. The percentage aid that was not earned must be returned to the Title IV Federal Aid Program (s) and the student is responsible for the returned amount.

Example #1
  • MED 1 Student
  • Tuition and Fee Charges for 1st semester is $15,903.78

  • Student withdraws or otherwise stops attending on September 30th, 2024 (attended through September 30th, 2024)
  • Student completed 61 of 135 days, or 45% of the Semester
  • Student received $21,135 in Federal Unsubsidized Direct Loan funds (half of the annual maximum of $42,722, less origination fees)

The student did not earn 55% of their Federal student funds, or $11,581.98.

Unearned Institution charges are 55% of $15,903.78, or $8,748.

The lesser of these two amounts, rounded to the dollar ($8,748), must be returned to the Federal student aid programs by the school and the student will be billed for the returned amount.

Example #2
  • MED2 Student
  • Tuition and Fee Charges for 1st semester is $15,893.78

Unearned Institutional charges at 48.2% of $15,893.78, are $7,660.80.

The lesser of these two numbers, rounded to the dollar ($7,660), must be returned to the Federal student aid programs by the school and the student will be billed for the returned amount.

Example #3
  • MED4 Student
  • Tuition and Fee Charges for 1st semester is $15,925.82
  • First day of Class is April 29, 2024
