Please visit the Return to Title IV policy at financialaid.okstate.edu/policies/R2T4 (http://financialaid.okstate.edu/ policies/R2T4). Repayment Policy Financial aid is considered to be used first for direct educational costs (tuition and fees) and, if the student is in University housing, for room and board. If a student financial aid recipient withdraws and is eligible for a refund of tuition and fees and/or room and board, all or part of this refund will be used to reimburse Title IV federal financial aid program(s); state programs which apply to tuition (i.e. OKPromise); or institutional tuition and fee waiver programs. If a student receives Title IV federal aid in excess of institutional charges and subsequently withdraws, he/she may be required to return a portion of the aid. The student is ineligible for further aid until the required repayment has been made. The aid is returned on the student’s behalf and a charge is placed on the student Bursar account for the repayment.
