IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR FINANCIAL AID RECIPIENTS REGARDING
FINANCIAL AID, FEDERAL REGULATIONS, AND CLASS ATTENDANCE
 Students may receive Pell Grants for up to 12 full-time semesters (or the equivalent), if they qualify.
 Federal law requires that students who receive Federal financial aid must attend the classes for which they are registered in
order to receive financial aid payment. Students who never attend a class will not receive any Federal financial aid relating
to that class, even when withdrawing from the College by following the College’s procedures for officially withdrawing.
 Each semester, your instructors will notify the financial aid office at various times throughout the semester about any
classes you are not attending or have stopped attending.
 If your instructors indicate that you are not in attendance for a course, your financial aid will be adjusted downward. It is
then possible that you will not have sufficient funds to pay your charges to the College, and you will be held responsible for
making payment from your own resources.
 Not attending your class is equivalent to an unofficial withdrawal from that course.
 An unofficial withdrawal will affect your GPA and your enrollment status, thus affecting your eligibility for financial aid
for the current semester and for future semesters.
 You will also be charged for that course, which means you are responsible for paying for a class which you are not
attending. It is best to withdraw officially from any course that you can no longer attend. Your charges will be minimized
and it is possible that there will be no adjustment to your financial aid. Refer to the College Student Handbook for a
description of drop/add and withdrawal procedures for classes you are no longer attending. You must follow these
procedures to minimize or avoid financial aid penalties.
 The official withdrawal procedures do not pertain to classes that you never attend. If you have registered for a class and
you will not be able to attend that class, you must drop the class during the first week of the session. While this may reduce
the amount of your financial aid payment for the semester, you will avoid any financial aid penalties and charges for tuition
and fees for that class.
 If you receive a financial aid payment greater than what you are eligible for, you have received an overpayment of your
award. Students who have overpayments will be responsible for charges to the College and for paying back to the
U.S. Department of Education any amount of that overpayment.
 The College is required to report overpayments of financial aid awards to the Department of Education. Until you pay back
the amount of your overpayment, you may be ineligible for financial aid at any institution you attend.
 Remember: it is important that you attend all your classes and complete them successfully or officially withdraw from any
or all of your classes that you are attending to minimize or avoid financial aid penalties. Contact your advisor or counselor
for assistance.
