Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy & Repaying Financial Aid

Receiving financial aid is like being paid to do a job before the work is completed. There is the expectation that you will complete the work you signed up for. If you do not, there will be repercussions for your future eligibility.

If you withdraw from classes, you may owe a repayment of a portion or all of the aid received for that term. Owing a repayment may affect your eligibility to continue receiving funding. Check in with the Financial Aid Office before withdrawing from classes to find out how it may affect your eligibility.

Visit our Maintaining Eligibility page for more information on the college's Satisfactory Academic Progress and Repayment policies.
