Military Tuition Assistance Return of Unearned TA Funds Policy

Withdrawing from courses affects a student’s Military Tuition Assistance (TA). Sacred Heart University will return Tuition Assistance (TA) funds on a proportional basis based on the time in which a student stops attending courses during an enrollment period. This proration occurs up to the 60% portion of the student’s period of enrollment. The university returns these funds to the appropriate military service branch. In the instance in which a student stops attending due to military service obligations, the university will work with the student to prevent a student debt for the returned portion. Tuition Assistance (TA) will be returned based on the schedules below:
