State of Minnesota funds return
If you cancel a portion of your enrollment or completely withdraw from classes during the semester, you may be required to return all or a portion of the state of Minnesota financial aid to the state financial aid program from which the aid was received. This may include:
- Minnesota State Grant
- Student Educational Loan Fund
- Minnesota State Child Care Grant
- Minnesota Public Service Safety Officer Program
If you withdraw from all of your courses, state funds are subject to a worksheet calculation based on the federal Return of Title IV funds formula, in addition to other contingencies. If you drop credits, but still maintain some enrollment, state financial aid funds may be reduced by the amount of any tuition and fee refund received by you. A notification letter will be sent to your permanent address if your financial aid is reduced and a return is required.
