Adding/Dropping a Course and Its Impact on Financial Aid

If you find it necessary to drop some of your classes, you may be required to return all or a portion of the financial aid you’ve received for that semester to the government and/or University programs. Dropping a class may affect eligibility for receiving financial aid in the upcoming semester or following year.

• If your financial aid has not been disbursed and you add or drop a class, your financial aid will be adjusted.
• If your financial aid has been disbursed and you add or drop a class before the 12th class day, your financial aid will be adjusted. You may be required to repay some of your federal grants and/or loans if you dropped a class.
• If your financial aid has been disbursed and you add or drop a class after the 12th class day, your upcoming semester financial aid may be adjusted. Your federal loans may be prorated if you dropped a class.

Dropping classes and withdrawing are not the same. If your circumstances require you to withdraw from all classes during a semester or summer term, you may be required to repay some of your federal grants and/or loans.
