IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING WITHDRAWALS

ALL CLASSES DROPPED - If you withdraw from ALL of your classes before 60% of the semester, you may be expected to repay all or a portion of your financial aid.

DROPPING BELOW 6 UNITS - If you receive a financial aid check based on 6 or more units and then drop below six units to less than half-time prior to receiving your second check, you will be required to repay all or a major portion of your financial aid. For example, if your original Pell Grant for the semester was $2000 and you received your first disbursement of $1000 (50%), you would have to repay a significant amount if you drop to less than half-time status.

WITHDRAWING WITHOUT COMPLETING A WITHDRAWAL FORM - If you do not officially withdraw from your classes and receive all F’s, NC’s, I’s and W’s and did not attend classes through 60% of the semester, you may be expected to repay all or a portion of your financial aid.

STUDENT LOAN BORROWERS - Withdrawing from all of your classes or dropping below 6 units will terminate your “IN-SCHOOL” status. Failure to re-enroll within the next six months will place your student loan in “REPAYMENT” status where you must begin making payments on your loan. Federal loans must be repaid regardless of whether you complete your college program or are able to find employment.

AVOID REPAYMENT - If you dropped units, consider enrolling in short term, mid-semester classes. If you are thinking about dropping classes, contact the financial aid office to see if and how it may affect your eligibility. The Counseling Department is available to assist you in developing or modifying your class schedule.
