This five-week interactive online course provides an overview of the return of Title IV funds (R2T4) regulations, including the regulations that went into effect on July 1, 2021. Course participants will learn what happens to Title IV funds when a student withdraws before completing the period of enrollment, withdrawal from programs offered in modules, and how to apply the R2T4 formula in order to calculate the amount the school must return to the Title IV programs, or the amounts the student could receive as post-withdrawal disbursement. This course is the perfect learning tool for intermediate and advanced level financial aid professionals designed to provide the necessary tools and subject matter expertise to guide you through the R2T4 process.
