Thinking about dropping a class?


Dropping a class or multiple classes could have an effect on your financial aid.  It depends on the type of aid you are receiving, how many hours you are dropping, and when you are dropping these courses.  Dropping classes may also require you to return money to SCC or the Department of Education.  If this money is not returned, it will affect your future eligibility not only at SCC but other schools as well.

Q: What will happen to my financial aid if I withdraw from ALL classes?

A: A refund calculation will be made using the appropriate federal policy.  This calculation will determine how much financial aid, if any, you are eligible to receive or how much money you are required to return if you have already received your disbursement.

If you have received any loans, you start using your grace period.  If you have not received your loan yet, it will automatically be cancelled.

Withdrawing can create satisfactory academic progress problems and may result in the loss of your continued eligibility to receive financial aid.  Please read pages 12-14 of the Financial Assistance Student Handbook (PDF) located on this CD for more information on satisfactory academic progress.

NOTE:  If you decide to withdraw from any or all classes, make sure you go to the Registrar's Office and officially withdraw in writing.

Q: Do I have to attend all of my classes in order to receive financial aid?

A: YES .  You will be required to have an attendance form signed by all of your instructors prior to receiving any financial aid at SCC. 

You must fill out a new attendance form each time you receive a financial aid disbursement (this includes any late start classes you may be enrolled in).

Please visit the Financial Assistance Office for specific details regarding your situation.
