Criteria: Regulations require Institutions to consider students who have stopped attending classes in the semester to be considered an unofficial withdrawal. If a student withdraws officially or unofficially with the first 60% of the semester, the Instiution must calculate a refund to the student's account statement. If a student withdraws after the 60% date in the semester, they are considered to have earned thier aid and will not have a refund calculated. The University concurs with the audit finding and will adhere to the corrective action plan. Corrective Action Plan: With the assistance of IT and the Registrar, Virginia Union University implemented a report to identify students who have stopped attending classes for more than 14 days. Students in this situation are considered as Unofficial Withdrawals. Once these students are identified, Return to Title IV calculations are performed, and these funds are returned accordingly. Sometimes, students return to classes and reestablish eligibility, as was the case for the student in question. If the students continue to attend courses thorugh the 60% point in the semester, aid can be reinstated once the student is identified. The aid for the student in question has been reinstated. From this point forward, the weekly attendance reports will be compared from week to week to ensure aid is reinstated to students who return to classes. In addition, the Return to Title IV policy and procedures will be updated to account for students who return to classes. Responsible person(s): Doreen Dixon, Registrar, ddixon@vuu.edu, 804-257-5845.
