Financial Aid Refund Policy
Policies have been established in accordance with federal regulations to ensure a fair and equitable refund of tuition for CIU
students who are receiving financial aid and withdraw from the university either partially or completely during the course of
an enrollment period (semester or short-term). In order to make CIU scholarships and grants available to as many eligible
students as possible, all CIU scholarships and grants are forfeited when a recipient withdraws from CIU before the end of a
term or drops below 12 hours of enrollment for undergraduate and below nine hours for graduate or seminary students. In
such an event, CIU scholarship and grant recipients are responsible for complete repayment of funds. In addition, if a student
took out loans and drops a class after the add/drop date, but within the refund period, any additional excess funds will be
returned to the lender. Refund policies are subject to federal regulations and may change during the course of a school year.
Contact the Financial Aid office for a complete copy of the current refund policy.

State Postsecondary Review Entity (SPRE) of complaints regarding the institution’s management of the Title IV programs,
misleading or inappropriate advertising and promotion of the institution’s educational programs, or other complaints about
the institution. Students must first complete the institution’s internal grievance process. The SPRE may be contacted at
