Quick Guide on Dropping a Class

If your financial aid has already been paid for this semester鈥�

  • Some financial aid programs require repayment for dropped or withdrawn classes (e.g., Florida Bright Futures)
  • Some financial aid programs (e.g., Federal Pell Grant, Florida Student Assistance Grant, 欧美三级片 Grant, etc.) require repayment for dropped or withdrawn classes that result in a tuition refund (e.g., first day non-attendance, etc.)
  • It is your responsibility to pay the balance on your student account which may result from dropped or withdrawn classes. Failure to pay the balance will prevent you from registering for future terms and prevent you from receiving official transcripts 

If you receive a Federal Direct Loan and you drop below half-time (6 credit hours for undergraduate students, 5 credit hours for graduate students) during the semester and don鈥檛 intend to re-enroll鈥�

  • Repayment will begin six months after you drop below half-time. For more information, contact your loan servicer which can be found on the National Student Loan Data System:
    • Log In with your FSA ID and Password
    • Accept the Terms & Conditions
    • Hover over your name in the top right of the screen
    • Select 鈥楳y Aid鈥� and 鈥楧ownload My Data鈥�

Dropping a class or classes also affects your future aid eligibility鈥�

  • You must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) for Financial Aid Recipients from one semester to the next or you may become ineligible for financial aid, including student loans
  • If you are currently on SAP probation and drop a class, you will be ineligible for financial aid (except some scholarships) for future semesters
  • Review the SAP policy: /financial-aid/sap/
  • If you received specific scholarships/grants with additional renewal requirements that require earning a minimum number of credit hours and GPA (e.g., Florida Bright Futures, 欧美三级片 Presidential Scholarship, 欧美三级片 Green & Gold Scholarships, Florida Student Assistance Grant, etc.),
    • Review the terms & conditions for each scholarship/grant you received. If you plan to renew a scholarship/grant, it is your responsibility to plan your future enrollment to meet these renewal requirements
