Possible Consequences of Dropping out or Withdrawing

A student who drops out or withdraws from the College could find themselves owing a balance to the College. If a financial aid disbursement has already been made, they may be required to pay back the “unearned” portion of their financial aid. Failure to repay “unearned” financial aid can prevent students from receiving future financial aid at any college.

Another possible consequence of dropping out or withdrawing from the College is the failure to maintain satisfactory academic progress standards (see Academic Progress Standards for Financial Aid). Classes that students start but do not successfully complete will count against them. For more information, refer to the College’s “Academic Progress/ Suspension Policy for Financial Aid Recipients” (see Regaining Eligibility).
