Financial Aid Students Who Resign

Financial aid recipients who resign, officially or unofficially, before completing more than 60% of the semester will be required to pay back all or part of the aid received. In most cases, students will owe money to the federal aid program(s) and to the school. Students who stop attending all classes will be considered unofficial withdrawals. Specific information and examples regarding the Return of Title IV Funds policy are available in the Financial Aid Office, Building F, second floor.

Attention: Financial Aid Students

Students are responsible for purchasing books. Book vouchers will not be issued unless your scholarship or fee exemption specifically pays for books.

If you are admitted provisionally if (you are missing official college academic transcripts or your financial aid file is incomplete), you are NOT eligible for financial aid or a financial aid deferment. You must make payment arrangements yourself on the day of registration.

If you are determined ineligible for financial aid, you must make payment arrangements yourself on the day of registration. Your class schedule will be dropped if payment arrangements are not made on the day of registration.

YOU WILL OWE MONEY IF:

  • You do not begin attendance in ALL classes (your instructor notifies the Financial Aid Office of all students who never attend classes.)
  • You resign or stop attending ALL classes before completing more than 60% of the semester.

    Session A – July 3, 2008

** Students must begin attendance in ALL classes. Financial aid will be adjusted (reduced) if a student does not begin attendance in ALL classes. If a student receives his/her financial aid refund check (s) and never attends classes, the student will be responsible for immediate REPAYMENT of the FULL amount of the financial aid. If a financial aid recipient resigns or stops attending all classes before completing more than 60% of the semester, he/she will owe money to the aid program and BPCC.

Attention, First-Time Student Loan Borrowers: Student loan funds for first-time borrowers with fewer than 30 credit hours earned will not be mailed to students until approximately July 3, 2008. Federal regulations require these students to be subject to a 30-day delayed disbursement on the first disbursement of their loans.

Important Notice For Pell Grant Students: Pell Grants paid for advanced registered students will be based on the number of advanced registered hours. Pell Grants paid during general registration and late registration will be based on the number of hours enrolled during general registration and late registration. Pell Grants paid after general registration and late registration will be based on the number of hours the student is attending at the time Pell is calculated. Students who drop or add classes on or before *July 2, 2008, will have their Pell Grants adjusted to reflect the correct enrolled hours and will have to REPAY any overaward.
