Dropped Courses

If a course dropped before the end of a refund period causes a student to drop below full-time status, institutional aid will be calculated based on the number of hours attempted after the course is dropped. You may be eligible for certain Federal Financial Aid depending on class attendance. A “return of Title IV funds” calculation will be made only when a student withdraws from all courses. Contact the Business Office and Financial Aid Office prior to making the decision to drop below 12 credit hours to determine how this will affect your financial situation. Remember: dropping classes and withdrawing from the University are two different things.
