General College Information
Cornish’s Consumer Information Report includes data regarding graduating classes and retention and persistence rates over the past five years. Because Cornish is a small school, in order to protect the privacy of our students we have presented this information in percentages rather than individual numbers.

Requirements for Withdrawals and Return of Title IV Financial Aid: https://www.cornish.edu/records-and-registration/student-accounts/
The requirements for Title IV program funds when you withdraw are separate from any refund policy that your school may have. Therefore, you may still owe funds to the school to cover unpaid institutional charges. Your school may also charge you for any Title IV program funds that the school was required to return. If you don’t already know your school’s refund policy, you should ask your school for a copy. Your school can also provide you with the requirements and procedures for officially withdrawing from school.
If you have questions about your Title IV program funds, you can call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FEDAID (1-800-433-3243). TTY users may call 1-800-730-8913. Information is also available on Student Aid on the Web at https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/.
