10. After I have received my financial aid refund for the semester, I find it necessary to drop a class which will change my status to below full-time (or three-quarter-time). Will this affect the amount of financial aid I receive? If the student has received federal financial aid awards based upon full-time student status and then drops below full-time status, there may be a portion of federal financial aid which would need to be returned to the federal government. The student would be responsible for repayment of the returned funds. The same is true for any student who has received federal financial aid awards based upon the enrollment status at which they were awarded. i.e: If a student were enrolled in 9 credit hours, received financial aid based upon three-quarter-time status, and then wanted to drop a class, they would be considered a half-time student for financial aid purposes and there may be a portion of federal financial aid which would need to be returned to the federal government. The student would be responsible for repayment of the returned funds. Please check with the One Stop office if you have questions as to whether or not the dropped class will affect your financial aid awards.
