Let Students Know: The Withdrawal Effect


If you have students who are contemplating a course withdrawal, please advise them to read the Financial Aid Information in the MCC Catalog & Student Handbook to evaluate its effect on their financial aid.

Anytime a student does a course withdrawal, it could affect their financial aid in their current semester and in future semesters.

Complete withdrawals during a semester will have an impact on a student’s financial aid. Their financial aid may be adjusted (recalculated) according to the Federal Return of Title IV Refunds Policy. An adjustment (reduction) of their financial aid may result in students owing a balance to MCC.

The withdrawal from one or more courses during a semester or academic year, may impact a student’s eligibility for both Federal and State Aid program for future semesters. If the student does not meet Satisfactory Academic Progress Guidelines, required by the Federal and State government they may lose eligibility for Federal aid, State aid or both.

For more information on Satisfactory Academic Progress Guidelines refer to the MCC Catalog & Student Handbook.
