A student may be administratively withdrawn from his/her program for missing eight or more consecutive days without contacting the Adult Career Center Office personnel. Tuition and fees owed at the time of withdrawal must be paid according to the withdrawal/refund policy.

For a student receiving a Pell Grant or Federal Stafford Loan, the following refund Policy is followed: Number of hours assigned up to the point of withdraw divided by the total hours in the period of enrollment. This is the amount of the Pell award that can be applied to the student account. For example, a student is enrolled 225 hours of a 900 hour program; 25% of the total Pell Grant and Stafford Loan can be applied to the account. If the percentage is more than 60%, the entire Pell Grant can be applied toward the balance. After the earned Federal Aid is applied to the account, it is the student’s responsibility to pay any balance remaining that is due to the Lorain County JVS.
