Review the following important terms of your financial aid, sign and submit this form to the financial aidoffice.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING WITHDRAWALS
Any student who received federal financial aid and withdraws from some or all of their classes, may be required to repay all or a portion
of the financial aid he/she received:
ALL CLASSES DROPPED/ DROPPING BELOW 6 UNITS/ WITHDRAWING WITHOUT COMPLETING A WITHDRAWAL FORM
If you withdraw from ALL of your classes before 60% of the semester, you must repay all or a portion of your financial aid. If you receive
a financial aid check based on 6 or more units and then drop below six units to less than half-time prior to receiving your second check,
you will be required to repay all or a portion of your financial aid. If you do not officially withdraw from your classes and receive all F’s,
NC’s, I’s and W’s and do not attend classes through 60% of the semester, you will be expected to repay all or a portion of your financial
aid.
STUDENT LOAN BORROWERS
Withdrawing from all of your classes or dropping below 6 units will terminate your “IN-SCHOOL” status. Failure to reenroll within the
next six months will place your student loan in “REPAYMENT” status where you must begin making payments on your loan. Federal
loans must be repaid regardless of whether you complete your college program or are able to find employment.
AVOID REPAYMENT
If you dropped units, consider enrolling in short term, mid-semester classes. If you are considering dropping classes, contact the
financial aid office to see if and how it may affect your eligibility. The Counseling Department is available to assist you in developing or
modifying your class schedule.
CALCULATION OF AWARDS
FINANCIAL AID AWARD AMOUNTS shown on your award letter are based on full-time enrollment (12 or more units). However, in the
event that you are not attending full-time, your financial aid payment will be calculated according to the current units in which you are
enrolled at the time enrollment is verified. NOTE: UNITS ARE VERIFIED APPROXIMATELY 10 DAYS BEFORE EACH
DISBURSEMENT DATE.
WAITLIST/SHORT-TERM CLASSES do not count toward the amount of your check until you are officially enrolled and are actually
attending. You will receive the difference, if any, on a subsequent disbursement.
COURSE-REPETITION You may only receive financial aid for one repeat of a course for which you have already received a passing
grade.
PELL GRANTS VARY from student to student. For example, some students
with limited Pell Grant eligibility must be enrolled full time
to receive Pell
Grant.
If you
add units after the midpoint
of the semester and
you
have already received the second
portion
of
your award(s),
you
must notify the Financial
Aid Office to receive any
difference.
If
you
were
awarded
a
Pell
or
Cal
Grant,
recalculation
will
occur
if
you
are
enrolled
in
less
than
twelve
units.

REFER TO YOUR AWARD LETTER for financial aid payment dates and amounts. Payment dates vary depending on when
your financial aid file is completed/awarded and are subject to change if you drop/add class(es). If you are to receive payment
for more than one award on the same date, you will receive them in one single check.
FINANCIAL AID CHECKS ARE MAILED and are NOT FORWARDED. Your check will be returned to the Campus Business Office if
you have an undeliverable address or a forwarding request with the post office. Keep your address current in WebAdvisor.
