Full Withdrawal (Dropping or Withdrawing All Classes)
General Implications of Doing a Full Withdrawal
- Receiving a ‘W’ on your transcript affects your Satisfactory Academic Progress (both attempted hours and completion percent).
- All withdrawn classes become susceptible to the repeat policy.
What Happens To Your Federal Financial Aid?
If you received a Pell Grant, proof of attendance must be documented in all classes. Your Pell Grant will be adjusted based on the number of credit hours which are documented. In addition, a calculation is completed based on your withdrawal date and you may be required to return an additional portion of your Pell.
If you received a federal loan, proof of attendance must be documented in at least one class. In addition, a calculation is completed based on your withdrawal date and you may be required to repay a portion of your loan. All future loan disbursements will be canceled. Also, each federal loan you borrow will receive a one-time 6-month grace period (or an automatic 6-month deferment in the case of Grad PLUS Loans. Parents can request deferment for a Parent PLUS Loan). If you fully withdraw, any loans you have borrowed will go into your 6-month grace period as of the date you withdraw below half-time. If you previously used up your one-time grace period, you will go into repayment on your loan(s) right away.
