Q:
How does dropping classes affect my financial aid?
A:
HOPE: If you drop a class prior to the end of Drop/Add, HOPE is not affected because you are not considered enrolled in the class. After Drop/Add, classes from which you withdraw are considered "attempted" by HOPE and count towards the total number of hours for which you have HOPE eligibility. Assuming you receive a grade of "W" for the course, your grade point average will not be affected. However, if you receive a grade of "WF" (for withdrawals after the midpoint withdrawal deadline or otherwise), it will count as an "F" in your grade point average.
Other Type of Financial Aid: Each type of financial aid has registration requirements. If your registration drops below the number of hours required for the type(s) of aid you receive, you must repay the aid. Contact the Office of Student Financial Aid at (707) 542-6147 with specific questions.
