<p>hi all,
i have been struggling in one of my class, and i am consider to drop it out. But the register office told me that i have 100% liability to the tuition. But i heard another thing from my classmate that once 60% of the semester is over then the financial aid is yours and school cannot ask you to pay back if you drop
which one is true??</p>
<p>It depends on the rules of your financial aid, but, generally, after the dropping period is over you have to pay back the amount for the class you’re dropping.</p>
<p>Depends on the state and the rules of the financial aid (which you signed indicating that you read the terms of agreement, you didn’t apparently). </p>
<p>This disproportionately affects lower income students, who are stuck between failing and repaying. A more affluent student such as myself can easily pay back the financial aid for the courses being dropped, no problem. Its a catch 22 for lower income students resulting in more loans, lower grades, having to choose between repaying money they don’t have or getting a GPA that would disqualify them from future financial aid anyway.</p>
<p>Its an uneven playing field, what will you do?</p>
<p>How is it uneven? If you drop the class after the window has closed, you have to pay. It’s a simple as that.</p>
