The law specifies how Columbia College Hollywood must determine the amount of Title IV program assistance that has been earned if a student withdraws from school. The Financial Aid Department will perform a Return of Title IV Funds calculation when a federal student financial aid (Title IV) recipient withdraws or is dismissed from a program.
This process ensures that the institution correctly calculates the amount of federal student financial aid earned by the student and returns any unearned funds back to the respective federal student financial aid program(s). In some cases, the student will be required to return unearned Title IV funds. In addition, the Return of Title IV process may result in the student owing the school for unpaid tuition and fees.
It is highly recommended that the student speak with a Financial Aid advisor prior to withdrawing to gain an understanding of the implications of withdrawal. The portion of Title IV funds a student is allowed to retain is calculated on a percentage basis by comparing the total number of days completed in the quarter, before the student withdrew from the program, to the total number of days in the quarter. Once the unearned portion of the return of funds has been calculated, the Financial Aid Department will return the aid to the appropriate federal student financial aid program(s) within 45 days of the date of determination that the student withdrew. Unearned Title IV funds will be returned to the federal student aid programs in the following order:
A recipient of federal student aid who officially withdraws from the college or is administratively withdrawn and dismissed from the college will not be allowed to re-enter, register, or receive an official academic transcript until the outstanding balance has been paid in full.

At CCH, we believe it is important to take a stand by demonstrating our willingness to promote and inspire systemic change. We must speak honestly and truthfully to the ugliness of racism that permeates throughout our society today. It may be an uncomfortable conversation for some, but it is an all-too familiar reality for anyone living in this country with black or brown skin. Hiding from it, ignoring it, or being silent about it will not make it go away.
