Once you’ve accepted your financial aid and are enrolled at least half-time, your aid will be applied to your account through Marian’s Office of Business and Finance. For some aid types, full-time enrollment is needed, so be sure to confirm your status to avoid any delays. If your aid exceeds your tuition and fees, you may even receive a refund check to help with other expenses.

Tuition Refund

Navigating a course change or withdrawal can have financial impacts, which is why Marian University provides a clear tuition refund policy to support you. Refunds are determined by the official date we receive your completed Course Drop or University Withdrawal forms, and financial aid adjustments may also apply. For added peace of mind, consider tuition insurance through our partner, GradGuard, protecting your investment if a withdrawal becomes necessary due to illness or other covered reasons. If you have questions, we’re here to help you understand the details and support your financial journey.

Return of Federal Funds

When students withdraw from Marian University, the Return of Federal Funds policy determines how much of their financial aid they’ve “earned” based on attendance and, if necessary, how much must be returned to the federal government. If students complete more than 60% of a payment period, they retain all federal aid for that term. For those withdrawing earlier, aid is returned proportionally, and Marian University works swiftly to calculate any owed funds and assist with post-withdrawal disbursements when applicable. This process helps protect students’ financial futures while ensuring compliance with federal regulations.

Supportive Measures

Supportive Measures are those that are non-disciplinary, non-punitive individualized services offered as appropriate, as reasonably available, and without a fee or charge to a Complainant or Respondent before or after the filing of a formal complaint or where no formal complaint has been filed. Such measures are designed to restore or preserve equal access to the University’s education program or activity without unreasonably burdening the other party, including measures designed to protect the safety of all parties or the University’s educational environment or deter sex-based harassment.
