Regulations WCC Financial Aid Regulations
Students who receive Title IV Federal financial aid and do not complete or attend class for at least 60 percent of the semester will be required to return a prorated portion of their aid to the Federal government based on the last date of any academically-related activity. Title IV financial aid consists of parent loans for undergraduate students, subsidized and unsubsidized student loans, Pell grants, academic competitiveness grants, supplemental education opportunity grants, and work-study.
The federal government mandates that if you withdraw, officially or unofficially, from all of your classes you may only keep the financial aid you have "earned" up to the time of withdrawal. Students who receive Title IV Federal financial aid and do not complete or attend class for at least 60 percent of the semester will be required to return a prorated portion of their aid to the Federal government based on the last date of any academically-related activity. When you withdraw from all of your classes, WCC must determine the actual amount of federal aid that you earned while you attended your classes. To determine the amount of aid you have earned up to the time of withdrawal, WCC will divide the number of calendar days you attended classes by the total number of calendar days in your program of study (less any scheduled breaks of 5 days or more). The resulting percentage is then multiplied by the total federal funds that were disbursed to you for the semester. This calculation determines the amount of aid you earned which you may keep (for example, if you attended 25% of the term, you have earned 25% of the aid disbursed). If Title IV funds were disbursed in excess of the earned amount then those funds must be returned to the federal government. WCC will notify you by letter if you are required to repay any of your federal funds. You will be responsible to repay any funds that are determined to be unearned (total aid disbursed less the earned amount). This does not apply to you if you have withdrawn from some of your classes but remained enrolled in others, or have successfully completed at least one class. Federal funds that may be affected by a complete withdrawal are:
Students should be aware that changes to your class schedule during the 100% refund period may result in the student owing back financial aid funds. Also, any changes made after the 100% refund period may result in financial aid termination. Once you are terminated from financial aid you are no longer eligible to receive any type of aid, (excluding scholarships). You may continue to attend WCC using your own funds for payment. Please see the Satisfactory Academic Progress Standard for more information.
