Return of Unearned Tuition Assistance Funds to the Government
If you are using Tuition Assistance (TA) to pay for your education and drop or withdraw from a course, the Department of Defense requires that University of Guam return any unearned TA funds to the department based on how much of the course you completed and that you pay a portion of those returned funds. You may owe a portion of your tuition to the University of Guam and/or a portion to your military branch.
