Withdrawing from all of your classes during any term or reducing your schedule after financial aid disbursement to below the number of credits required by the type of aid being received could cost you.

Federal regulations require the repayment of all or a portion of federal financial aid used to pay fees or disbursed directly to the student when a student withdraws from the University, drops below half-time, or has his/her scheduled cancelledduring a semester. The actual repayment amount will depend on the type of aid and the date of the withdrawal, drop, or cancellation.  This applies to federal financial aid programs, including:

• Pell Grants
• Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants
• Perkins Loans
• Stafford Loans
• Plus Loans

Other forms of financial aid may also be affected.
