Dropping or withdrawing from classes can affect both your award amount and your Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). We highly recommend that you read our SAP Policy before continuing.
Anytime a student drops or withdraws from classes, it oftentimes can result in a balance due, and negatively impact the student’s aid and future eligibility. The effects can vary depending on the timeframe of the drop/withdrawal, the remainder of the enrollment schedule, and the students' initial aid eligibility. Please always check with the Financial Aid Office before making changes to your enrollment (whether the change is to your classes or major) to see how you may be affected.
Financial Aid is awarded based on a student’s eligibility as well as the number of credit hours for which the student is enrolled. Students are encouraged to pass and complete all classes without dropping, withdrawing, or failing to maintain their eligibility; however, there may be unforeseen events that occur in a student’s life that may result in the student having to drop or withdraw from classes. If this occurs, the student must understand how their aid and eligibility are affected. It is also important that the student follows the proper steps for dropping or withdrawing from classes.
