How does withdrawing from classes affect my financial aid?
Federal and state regulations require that students receiving financial aid maintain satisfactory academic progress. One requirement is that you must complete at least 67 percent of the total cumulative credit hours attempted (e.g., 50 attempted credit hours, student must complete at least 33). A second requirement is that you maintain a cumulative 2.0 GPA in all coursework. Therefore, withdrawals, failing grades and incompletes will count against you. Also, if you completely withdraw from college before the 60 percent point of the semester, you may be required to return all or part of the aid awarded to you.
Government regulations require that students receiving financial aid maintain satisfactory academic progress. One such requirement is that you maintain a 2.0 grade point average. Another is that you must pass a minimum of two-thirds of the total cumulative credit hours attempted. This means that failing grades and withdrawals will count against you.
