Title IV aid includes aid from the Pell Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Direct Loan, and PLUS Loan programs.

Students who submitted the Financial Responsibility Agreement before September 2025 have completed the Title IV authorization as part of that process. If you have completed the Financial Responsibility Agreement, prior to September 2025, or separately have completed the Title IV authorization and now wish to withdraw your authorization, you may do so by submitting the Title IV authorization withdrawal form.  

If you withdraw authorization:

• Federal Title IV aid will not be applied to charges other than those for tuition, certain fees, housing and dining.  Other education-related charges that are assessed to the student account, such as student health insurance, parking permits, bookstore charges, service fees and fines, would therefore need to be paid by other means.
• Title IV funds will be refunded while account balances remain due and payable.  Students who choose to withdraw their authorization must take special care to monitor their bills to ensure they pay all charges by their due dates.

To withdraw Title IV authorization:

1. Print and complete the form below.
2. Mail the form to Office of the Bursar, 260 Day Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853.

If after previously withdrawing your authorization you would like to reauthorize Cornell to apply Title IV aid to all allowable charges, please contact the Office of the Bursar for instructions. Reauthorization is not retroactive or instantaneous.
