Refunds are based on the assessment, not upon the amount paid by the student.

Appeals must be received prior to the end of the academic year. Refunds/returns of Title IV funds for students who participate in SFA (Student Financial Assistance) programs are calculated based on federal regulations. The processing steps for determining refunds/returns are available in Business Services, Gulf Coast Student Service Center, Room 134D, Gulfport, Mississippi.
