• Underage Drinking and Associated Responsibilities
  The Tennessee General Assembly passed legislation regarding underage drinking and associated responsibilities. The law prohibits any resident, owner, or occupant of property (the social host) from allowing an underage adult to consume alcohol on such property. The legislation defines “underage adults” as those individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years of age but less than twenty-one (21) years of age.
   
  A resident may face criminal prosecution and University sanction if an underage adult consumes alcohol on his or her property which includes, but is not limited to, a residence hall room or apartment, fraternity or sorority affiliated housing, an off-campus house or apartment, or any other property owned or occupied by the individual.

In addition, UT Martin participates in the Tennessee Transfer Pathways project (https://www.tntransferpathway.org/)

• To officially withdraw from school, the student must log in to Banner Self-Service and submit the withdrawal application. The Perfect Forms application will be sent to the following offices for approval; Graduate Studies, Housing, Records, Financial Aid, and back to Records. Financial Aid will receive an email once it has been approved and ready to process, this will show the official withdrawal date.
• UTM is not an attendance taking school, so for those who unofficially withdraw the withdrawal date will be the last date of academic attendance as reported by the professor.
• The university does not issue formal leaves of absence.
• If a student is due a post-withdrawal disbursement, a letter is sent to the student offering the amount of disbursement that is not credited to the student’s account. This letter is mailed no later than 30 calendar days after the date the school determines the student withdrew. This letter will identify the type and amount of funds that make up the post-withdrawal disbursement. It also explains the student may decline all or a portion of those funds. The letter will inform the student that he or she has 14 calendar days from the date of the letter to accept this disbursement. With a timely and positive response from the student, the postwithdrawal disbursement is disbursed to the student’s account within 90 days of the date of the institution’s determination that the student withdrew. Without a timely response or with a negative response from the student, the post-withdrawal disbursement must be returned to the appropriate fund, if received.
• Once the we have the withdrawal date, the Banner system is used to determine the percentage of aid earned and unearned by the student. Using the Banner screen SFAWDRL we enter the date and term for the student, this will populate the RPATIVC screen in Banner and will calculate the institution’s portion to return, student’s return, post-withdrawal disbursement, and it will also show the number of days the student attended, and total days in the enrollment period. If the withdrawal date is after the student has completed 60% of the enrollment period, there will be no calculations processed. The enrollment period will include the first day of class through the last day of finals but will exclude breaks that are five consecutive days or more, such as spring break.
• The school will return the required amounts of unearned aid and it is the student’s responsibility to return any other funds in accordance with the terms of the loan, or grants in the case of an overpayment. All funds to be returned are returned no later than 30 days after the date the school determined the student withdrew.
• Returns must be credited to outstanding balances for the period of enrollment for which a return of funds is required in the following order:
  Unsubsidized Federal Stafford loans
  Subsidized Federal Stafford loans
  Unsubsidized Federal Direct Stafford loans
  Subsidized Federal Direct Stafford loans
  Federal Perkins loans
  Federal Plus loans received on behalf of the student
  Federal Direct Plus received on behalf of the student
  Federal Pell Grants
  FSEOG Program aid
  TEACH Grants
• Once the return has been processed a letter is mailed to the student that explains that there is an amount due to the institution, which aid was returned, based on the withdrawal date, and that the balance must be paid before they can register for any subsequent semesters. There is also an additional letter that is mailed that explains the refund calculation, Satisfactory Academic Progress, grace periods for loans, exit counseling for loans, and requirements to maintain the Tennessee Lottery Scholarship.
