A. I understand that I may qualify for Title IV funds, but that TUI makes no guarantee that I will qualify or remain eligible.

B. I UNDERSTAND THAT IF I RECEIVE TITLE IV LOANS, I AM SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAYING FULL AMOUNT OF THE LOANS PLUS INTEREST, LESS THE AMOUNT OF ANY REFUND; TITLE IV LOANS GENERALLY ARE NOT DISCHARGEABLE IN BANKRUPTCY; AND FAILING TO REPAY TITLE IV LOANS INCLUDING INTEREST MAY RESULT IN FEDERAL OR STATE GOVERNMENT OR A LOAN GUARANTEE AGENCY TAKING LEGAL ACTION, COLLECTION EFFORTS, INCLUDING APPLYING ANY INCOME TAX REFUND TO WHICH I OTHERWISE WOULD BE ENTITLED TO REDUCE THE BALANCE OWED ON THE LOAN AND BARRING ME FROM RECEIVING ANY FURTHER TITLE IV FUNDS OR CERTAIN OTHER GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE AT THIS OR ANY OTHER INSTITUTION UNTIL THE LOANS ARE REPAID.
C. I UNDERSTAND IF I RECEIVE TITLE IV AID, TUI WILL APPLY MY AID TO ALL CURRENT

Should the University repay Title IV funds on my behalf, creating a student account balance, I agree to repay said funds to the University immediately. Any refund to which I may be entitled will not include money paid from federal student financial aid program funds.
I further understand that according to the United States Department of Education, if I am convicted of a drug offense after receiving Title IV Aid, I must notify the Financial Aid Office immediately and that I will become ineligible for further federal aid and will also be required to pay back any and all aid received after the conviction.
