Financial Aid Policies

Students who receive Federal Financial Aid while attending Five Branches University will be subject to the Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy as well as the College Academic Progress Policy. If you receive Federal Financial Aid and withdraw from Five Branches University after classes have begun you will be subject to the Federal Return of Title IV Funds Regulations and must notify the school according to school policy. The Return of Title IV Funds Regulations will be applied first, after which the school’s Refund Policy will be applied. Both the Federal Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy and the Return of Title IV Funds Policy are described in the Student Handbook.

During registration, State law requires all students to sign a contract to protect their student rights and specify their enrollment and financial agreement with Five Branches University.
