A Brief History of R2T4 Simply stated: If a recipient of Title IV aid withdraws during a payment period or a period of enrollment, the institution must calculate the amount of Title IV aid the student earned. Unearned Title IV funds must be returned to the Title IV programs.
A Brief History of R2T4 • Prior to 1999/2000 called “Refunds and Repayments” (refund of unearned institutional charges) • Effective July 1, 2000, the 1998 Reauthorization of the HEA and Negotiated Rule Making changed this regulation to “the Treatment of Title IV, HEA program funds when a student withdraws from an institution”, AKA “Return to Title IV Funds”
