Withdrawls, Tuition Liability May Impact Financial Aid


Anytime a student does 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 a liability to the college.  It is strongly recommended  for students who are contemplating a course withdrawal to check with the MCC Financial Aid Office to evaluate its effect on their financial aid.

Complete withdrawals during a semester will have an impact on a students financial aid.  Students who do a complete withdrawal prior to the 10th week of a semester 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 program for future semesters if the student does not meet Satisfactory Academic Progress Guidelines, required by the Federal and State government.

For more information on Satisfactory Academic Progress Guidelines and Federal Return of Title IV Refunds Policy, students and faculty should refer to pages 50-53 of the 2002/2003 MCC Catalog & Student Handbook.
