If you withdraw from all courses during the 100% tuition refund period, you’ll have all of your financial aid refunded (removed from your student account). If you wish to retain a portion of your federal financial aid, contact the Office of Financial Aid within seven days of your withdrawal so we can determine if you are allowed to keep any portion of it. If you receive a full (100%) refund of tuition, you’re ineligible for any state, institutional, or private sources of financial aid.
If you have federal aid and withdraw (or are expelled) after a semester starts but before completing 60% of the term, you may need to return a portion of your federal (Title IV) aid. The percentage of Title IV aid to be returned is equal to the number of days you were enrolled divided by the number of calendar days in the enrollment period. Scheduled breaks of more than four consecutive days are excluded.
MINNESOTA OFFICE OF HIGHER EDUCATION FINANCIAL AID REFUND POLICY
Bethel is required to use the Office of Higher Education (OHE) financial aid refund policy when calculating refunds for Minnesota State Grants and Minnesota SELF loans. You’ll be able to keep funds earned through the Minnesota State Work Study Program prior to withdrawing from Bethel.
FINANCIAL AID REFUNDS FOR INSTITUTIONAL AND PRIVATE FUNDS
After calculating the federal and Minnesota financial aid refund policies, institutional and private gift aid is reduced by the same percent as your tuition was reduced. This is a summary of the current refund policy. The complete policy is located in each school’s catalog, which can be found at bethel.edu/undergrad/academics/catalog/.
Information about tuition refunds can be found on the Business Office Website.
