Disbursement of Funds

The US Department of Education specifies how Chattahoochee Technical College (Chattahoochee Tech) must determine the amount of Title IV program assistance that you earn if you withdraw from school or stop attending all of your courses for a term. The Title IV programs that are covered by this law are: Federal Pell Grants, and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOGs).

When you withdraw or stop attending all courses during your period of enrollment (term in which you are registered), the amount of Title IV program assistance that you have earned up to that point is determined by a specific formula. If you received (or Chattahoochee Tech received on your behalf) less assistance than the amount that you earned, you may be able to receive those additional funds. If you received more assistance than you earned, the excess funds must be returned by the school and/or you.
