Once you register for a course it becomes part of your permanent record. If for any reason you do not attend, you must officially withdraw from the course in the OASIS, room 217 North. Failure to follow this procedure will result in a grade of "WU" which is equivalent to an "F".

How does withdrawal affect my financial aid?

IF YOU WITHDRAW AFTER THE THIRD WEEK OF CLASSES, THE FOLLOWING Applies:

IF YOU ARE CHANGING YOUR ENROLLMENT STATUS, YOUR FINANCIAL AID WILL BE AFFECTED AS FOLLOWS:

PELL - Your Pell award is based on your EFC, the cost of attendance at Hunter and the number of credits for which you are enrolled. Awards will be adjusted accordingly.

TAP - If you are originally enrolled for 12 credits, and change your enrollment status to less than 12 credits after the end of the refund period you will be eligible for that portion of your TAP which covers your tuition. You will, however, have used up one semester's eligibility.

SEEK - You must maintain at least 12 credits to be eligible for SEEK, SEEK students may only drop below full-time with the permission of the SEEK department (which must be attached to this form.)

FED DIRECT - If you drop below 6 credits you are not entitled to the funds even if you have an outstanding balance owed to the college. With 6 credits or more you are still eligible for the monies, however, you may go into repayment if you have used your grace period. An exit interview may also be required.

IF YOU WITHDRAW COMPLETELY FROM CLASSES, YOUR AID WILL BE AFFECTED AS FOLLOWS:

PELL - Federal regulations require partial payment of funds received by a student who withdraws during the semester. The amount of repayment is directly related to the date you stop attending classes. Funds granted for the period following the last date of attendance must be returned to the Federal Government. You will receive a prorated portion of your Pell to cover the period you actually attended classes. Students who withdraw completely prior to picking up their Pell checks will be unable to receive funds other than those funds used for tuition (not covered by TAP).

TAP - If you, withdraw you will forfeit your next TAP payment. If you want to enroll next semester, you must pay for your tuition with funds other than TAP. Students may be eligible for a onetime waiver.

SEEK - You will become ineligible for any funds as of the date you withdraw.

FPERKINS - You will become ineligible for any funds as of the date you withdraw.

FWS - You must stop working the day you withdraw, and will be paid only for the hours worked up to your official withdrawal date.

FED DIRECT - (formerly FFELP) - If you drop below 6 credits you will go into immediate repayment of your FDIRECT. (Provided you have used up your grace period. A grace period is usually a 6 month period of time that you do not have to make any payments.) An exit interview is required.
