þ   A student’s high school transcript or GED test scores must be on file at Panola College before any Federal or State aid will be transmitted.

þ   Policy on Return to Title IV (R2T4) - The U. S. Department of Education (USDOE) requires schools to calculate a R2T4 for students that stop attending class, or totally withdraw before the 60% point of the semester.  This could result in the school having to refund federal funds (i.e. Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant) to the USDOE.  The student is then responsible for paying the school the amount that was refunded.
