Any changes to your schedule have the potential to impact financial aid eligibility, so it is always wise to consult with a Financial Aid Counselor before making changes.
When dropping a class, you are advised to complete a drop form with your Academic Advisor, which may help mitigate the impact to your financial aid. A dropped class is a change in enrollment status and can result in a reduction in student aid eligibility.
If you withdraw from school before the end of the semester, you may be expected to repay a portion of your financial aid. According to a formula prescribed by federal regulations, any refundable amount used to pay tuition and fees is returned to the appropriate financial aid sources. Contact your Financial Aid Counselor before withdrawing to understand the process better.
