Changes to Summer Enrollment

Before deciding to cancel or withdraw from classes or from a summer session, it is important to understand the potential impact on financial aid. Withdrawing from a summer session may affect aid eligibility for other summer session(s). This could result in a bill for a portion, or all aid received.

The recalculation of financial aid can be caused by several scenarios such as:

Withdrawing from the entire summer term
Dropping one session
Reducing units within a session
Dropping one session but adding or keeping another session
Receiving all non-passing grades for a session

We recommend students discuss the decision about dropping courses or withdrawing with their college/major advisor and Financial Aid and Scholarships before taking any action.

For more information, visit Return of Title IV Funds and Refund Policies as well as information on Withdrawing or Dropping Coursework during summer.

Cancellation or Withdrawal from Summer Sessions

If a student wishes to cancel or withdraw from any session it is important to understand the potential impact on financial aid. Students cancel summer enrollment through the online Cancellation/Withdrawal Form available from the Office of the University Registrar to officially complete this process. Failure to pay summer fees does not replace the cancellation/withdrawal process. Students will remain liable for any outstanding balances. If dismissed or administratively withdrawn, a Summer Enrollment Change form will be emailed.

Students may be required to return financial aid funds received based on the official date of cancellation or withdrawal.

For more information, visit Return of Title IV Funds and Refund Policies as well as information on Withdrawing or Dropping Coursework during summer.

Dropping a Course(s)

Even if a student is not completely withdrawing from all summer sessions, changes in enrollment in summer courses may affect the amount of aid eligibility.

Students must submit a Summer Change in Aidform (available in May) to notify Financial Aid and Scholarships of a change in enrollment.
This may result in a bill if the student received aid for which they are no longer eligible.
