The Impact of Withdrawals on Financial Aid


If the opportunity presents itself, please help us educate our students about the realities of financial aid.

Any time a student completes a course withdrawal, it could impact their financial aid in their current semester and in future semesters. In some cases, withdrawals can result in students having liability to the college.

Complete withdrawals during a semester will also have an impact on a student’s financial aid. Students who do a complete withdrawal will have their financial aid adjusted according to the Federal Return of Title IV Refunds Policy. This may result in a student owing a balance to MCC.

In addition, 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 programs for future semesters if the student does not meet satisfactory academic progress guidelines required by the federal and state governments.

For more information on Satisfactory Academic Progress Guidelines and Federal Return of Title IV Refunds Policy, students can refer to the MCC Catalog & Student Handbook.
