60% Dates (Return of Financial Aid Funds)

If you’re receiving financial aid grants or loans, you must attend your classes. Don’t drop or stop attending any class without consulting the Financial Aid Office first. Changes to your class schedule and failing grades may require you to repay federal financial aid funds.

Federal regulations require you to repay a portion of financial aid funds if you withdraw from all of your classes before satisfying the 60% completion rule for the quarter.

You also may be required to repay financial aid funds if you receive failing grades in all of your classes unless an instructor can document that you attended class for at least 60% of the quarter.
