Students who receive Title IV Federal financial aid (Pell Grant, FSEOG, Special Rule Pell Grant, and Federal Student/Parent Loans, etc.) may have their financial aid adjusted if they have a complete withdrawal or fail to earn a passing grade during the semester. In addition, students who have a complete withdrawal status prior to the disbursement of aid for the semester may also result in an adjustment. This adjustment would be made based on assistance earned up to the point of withdrawal.
A student’s official withdrawal date is defined as the date the student officially withdraws from all financial aid eligible classes for that semester.
A student is considered to have unofficially withdrawn for financial aid purposes when (1) the student does not complete the official withdrawal process, AND (2) the student fails to earn passing grades in all financial aid eligible courses for which he/she is registered for at the end of that semester/term. The student’s unofficial withdrawal date will be defined as the student’s last date of academic related activity/engagement as reported by the instructor or mid-point of the semester/term as to best benefit the student.
A student who withdraws from all financial aid eligible courses, but is still enrolled in other courses, will be considered a withdrawn student for financial aid Return to Title IV (R2T4) purposes. The date of the last withdrawn financial aid eligible course will serve as the withdrawal date.
