# Changes to Summer Enrollment

## 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.

## 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](https://registrar.ucdavis.edu/registration/leave) 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 If dismissed or administratively withdrawn, a Summer Enrollment Change form will be emailed.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.

## 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.
