*As of July 1, 2021. This order may be changed according to US Department of Education regulations.
Using Title IV Aid for Books & Supplies: In accordance with US Department of Education policy, Pell eligible students who have a pending credit balance due to Title IV funds are eligible to receive a bookstore voucher for the amount of the credit in order to purchase books & supplies. If you meet this criteria, you can request the voucher at the cashier window (Cunard Hall, 1st floor). You may opt out of this by not requesting the voucher.
Tuition Refund Insurance: The college offers a Tuition Refund Insurance Plan through A.W.G. Dewar, Inc. The plan insures the loss of tuition, housing & meals and fees due to withdrawal for medical or mental health issues. Information describing the plan is sent to families during the month of June.
