What You Do Next
Continue to attend classes pending a decision from the Financial Aid Committee.
You may charge your books; however, you are 100% liable for the charges if your request is denied.
Should your request be denied, you will need to meet with a financial aid representative to determine how many credits
you will need to complete on your own funds to bring you back to satisfactory status. If you submit this request by the end
of the first week of the term, and it is later denied, you will be allowed to withdraw from classes and receive a full refund of
tuition and fees.
If you are not planning on attending, you must withdraw by the Wednesday of the second week of the term or be
responsible for all charges on your account.
