Which term describes the process of returning Title IV funds after a student's withdrawal?

• A. Packaging
• B. R2T4
• C. SAP
• D. COA

Answer: (B)

Return to Title IV Funds, or R2T4, is the calculation used after a student withdraws to determine how much federal aid must be returned to the Title IV programs. The idea is to figure out how much of the term the student actually earned based on the percentage of enrollment completed. If the withdrawal happens before the student has completed at least 60% of the term, a portion of the Title IV aid is unearned and must be returned by the school to the federal programs. If more than 60% of the term is completed, the aid is considered earned and less or none needs to be returned. The process involves the school first returning the portion of unearned aid to the appropriate Title IV programs. Any remaining balance that was disbursed to the student and that isn’t earned may create a debt the student owes to the school or lender, depending on the program. In short, R2T4 determines who repays what portion of federal aid when a withdrawal occurs, ensuring funds are allocated to the period actually attended.
