Return of Federal Financial Aid Funds

If you fail to complete any credits during a quarter (whether you have quit attending, withdrawn, received 0.0-0.6 grades or incompletes), a refund of tuition and/or a repayment of grant dollars may be required. You will also lose your future financial aid eligibility.

Green River’s tuition refund policy operates independently from the “Return of Federal Financial Aid Funds” policy required for financial aid recipients. GRCC’s tuition refund policy returns 100% of tuition and fees through the official first day of the quarter, 80% of the tuition during the second through fifth days of the quarter, and 40% of tuition from the sixth day of the quarter through the twentieth calendar day of the quarter. These refunds apply only when students officially withdraw from classes.

The “Return of Federal Financial Aid Funds” policy will pertain to financial aid recipients receiving state grants or federal financial aid. Financial aid refunds will be required for the first 60% of the quarter whether you officially withdraw from classes, quit attending, or fail your classes. The amount of “unearned” grant funds that you and the college will be required to return will based upon the number of days you attended classes. Tuition refunds are not returned directly to financial aid recipients; instead, they are returned to financial aid accounts.
