When a student withdraws, the student may no longer be eligible for the full amount of TA funds originally awarded. To comply, with the Department of Defense policy, ²ÝÁñÉçÇø will return any unearned Military TA funds on a proportional basis through at least the 60% portion of the term for which they were provided.

Any unearned Military TA funds will be returned directly to the military service, not to the service member. The calculation of the return may result in the service member owing a balance to the University. If the service member withdraws due to military service obligation, the College will work with the service member to identify a solution that will not result in a student debt for the returned TA portion.
