Financial Aid Drops, Withdrawals and Overpayments

Students who cancel their aid, have aid revoked, or who do not plan to attend classes are responsible for officially cancelling and/or withdrawing from classes for which they are registered.  Classes are not automatically dropped when financial aid is removed.  NOTE: Failure to cancel unwanted classes before the first day of the term may result in a financial liability to the College.

Students who reduce their course load during the term may not be eligible for the entire award offered to them. Students are advised to consult with the Financial Aid Office to discuss the impact dropping classes may have.

Completely withdrawal from all classes before completion of 60% of the term may result in an overpayment. Title IV aid includes the Federal Pell Grant. Students in this category may be required to repay all or a portion of any unearned financial aid funds back to the school or to the US Department of Education. 

For students receiving NC grants, withdrawal from all classes before completion of 35% of the term may result in an overpayment.  Students in this category may be required to repay all or a portion of the funds back to the school or to the state agency.

Students who receive financial funds in error, including but not limited to coverage of tuition, fees, books and supplies, or refunds, are responsible for repayment of these funds.

Failure to repay a student financial aid overpayment may result in a hold being placed on the student's record prohibiting the student from registering for future classes at WCC and from obtaining an official academic transcript.
