Unearned TA Policy: Military Tuition Assistance (TA) awards to a service member under the assumption that the service member will attend school for the entire award period.

If a service member withdraws on or before the 60 percent portion of the term, the service member will no longer be eligible for the full amount of Military TA funds originally awarded. To comply with the policy of the Department of Defense, Post University will return any unearned Military TA funds on a pro-rata basis through at least the 60 percent portion of the term of approval.

Post University will return any unearned Military TA funds directly to the military service, not to the service member. The calculation of the return may result in the service member owing a balance to the University. If the service member withdraws due to military service obligation, the University will work with the service member to identify a solution that will not result in a student debt for the returned TA portion.

A student’s official withdrawal date or the last date of attendance is the basis of calculating earned percentage of TA. The determination of a student’s official withdrawal is the last date of documented attendance submitted to the Registrar’s Office. Upon the determination of the last date of attendance, Post University will recalculate a student’s TA eligibility based on the following formula:

Numbers of days completed/total days of the course = Percent of TA earned
