Special rules apply when students drop below 6 credits or totally
withdraw - especially if you have borrowed student loans. Use the chart below
to help determine what steps you should take. Information which applies to all Financial Aid students is listed at the top of the chart. If you also borrowed student loans while at RCTC, the instructions at the bottom of the chart also apply to you.
If you are graduating at the end of the current semester, we would ask that you take a minute to stop at the Financial Aid Office to touch base with us. You may need to complete final paperwork at the Financial Aid Office before you leave campus. We can also assist you with the transfer of your Financial Aid if you are continuing your education at another College.
As always, please contact the Financial Aid Office if you have questions or concerns.

Your drop and/or withdrawal will affect your completion rate.
You must complete at least 67% of the courses you register for to
remain eligible for Financial Aid. See the Financial Aid Satisfactory
Academic Progress Policy and/or meet with your counselor
or advisor for more information. |
If you do not complete all of your courses, you may be required to repay a portion of your Financial Aid funding. Your repayment is based on the number of days you attended classes. Contact the Financial Aid Office for more information if you are considering a total withdrawal. |
Check with the Financial Aid Office to make sure you do not have
any holds that would prevent you from getting your diploma or
certificate. |
