Repayment Policy (Return of Title IV Financial Aid)
The federal government mandates that students who withdraw from all classes may only keep the financial aid (federal “Title IV” grant and loan assistance) they have “earned” up to the time of withdrawal. Funds that were disbursed in excess of the earned amount must be returned by the university and/or the student to the federal government.
Full tuition can be refunded for a student who withdraws within three weeks of the first day of classes, and half tuition can be refunded for a student who withdraws within six weeks of the first day of classes.
Student Fees and Fee Regulations
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
Many offices at the University of Michigan collect and maintain information about students. Although these records belong to the university, both university policy and federal law allow students a number of rights concerning these records. The Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) establishes the rules and regulations regarding access to and disclosure of student records.
Conditional Scholarship Retention Information
The ABA Standard 509 requires all schools with conditional scholarships to post a conditional scholarship retention chart.
The ABA’s definition of a conditional scholarship is: “any financial aid award, the retention of which is dependent upon the student maintaining a minimum grade point average or class standing, other than that ordinarily required to remain in good academic standing.”
Scholarships are not conditional at Michigan.
Renewal of scholarships requires only good academic standing and full-time enrollment at the University of Michigan Law School.
