Didn't notify my school that I was dropping out...

Transfer Students

<p>So after taking a semester at Art Center College of Design, I decided that it wasn't the school for me and realized I didn't want to waste any more money (17k per term -_-).
Thing is, I made this decision a little before the semester ended and at first I would miss a couple classes but soon enough I wasn't attending any of my classes at all. Mainly because they have a 3-absences-and-you-fail policy, so I didn't see a point in going anymore.</p>

<p>I didn't notify them of my permanent withdrawal whatsoever; I thought it would be fine. But today I went onto their website and they've written that I need to fill out a notice at their school office. It's too late now, since it's winter break and they're closed - but should I at least email them something? Or?</p>

<p>The reason why I'm not so concerned is because I purposely missed the registration date for my next term, so that should give them a hint right?</p>

<p>Also - what happens to the grants/scholarship that I got at the school? Can I somehow transfer that money to the school I'm entering in the Spring?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Did you pass your courses this past term? If you stopped attending classes…what were your grades this term.</p>

<p>Grants awarded by THIS college cannot be used at another college. You need to apply for aid at the new school. BUT…until you officially withdraw, you are a matriculated student at the art school. You can NOT be a matriculated student at TWO colleges at the same time. So you need to withdraw from that first school.</p>

<p>Have you applied for acceptance to the second school? Did you forward your transcript from the first school? Did you complete the financial aid application forms for this new school?</p>
