Refunds

The College engages its faculty and assigns residence hall space in advance of each semester in accordance with the number of students who have signified intent to be enrolled. When students withdraw during the semester, they leave vacancies that cannot be filled. The following rules concerning refunds protect Grinnell from losses when students withdraw.

A student withdrawing from the College within the first six weeks of the semester is held responsible for tuition, room, meal plan, and other fees on a prorated basis as of the date the student withdraws. If a student withdraws after six weeks into the semester, no tuition, room, meal plan, and other fees will be refunded. The same policy applies to emergency leaves.

Tuition, room, meal plan, and other fees will not be refunded for students suspended or dismissed for academic or conduct reasons during the semester.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: After withdrawal adjustments to tuition, required fees, room, and meal option, funds are returned to payment sources in the following order:

  1. Unsubsidized FFELP loans
  2. Subsidized FFELP loans
  3. Federal Perkins loans
  4. FFELP PLUS loans
  5. Federal Pell grants
  6. Federal Academic Competitiveness grants
  7. National SMART grants
  8. Federal SEOG grants
  9. Other Title IV aid
  10. State loans
  11. State grants
  12. Private grants
  13. Institutional loans
  14. Institutional grants
  15. Other payment sources
  16. Student

A prescribed federal refund calculation governs students who receive federal Title IV financial assistance. Examples of federal refund and repayment calculations are available from the controller.
