Will I still be able to have Financial Aid if I drop one class? I am taking two class Psychology and English. I want to drop the English course because the professor won’t tell the class our grade until the end, of course, is over. Basically, won’t know how well we are doing or how many points we have we can only assume we have a certain amount of points for different assignments. I plan on withdrawing from English class and keeping my Psychology class because I am doing very well in the course for Psychology and I can see my grade on the blackboard. I am not learning anything in his class for a three-hour class that is only held on Fridays. What would happen if I drop the course will financial aid still pay for the course I want to keep or will I pay for both? I am also a Florida resident going to a community college and the in-state tuition for a three-credit course is 103.06 and the book is $58. I plan on speaking with my advisor about my situation.
You need to discuss this with the financial aid ofice at your college.
As for your English class, is he grading system described in the course syllabus? Does you instructor return your essays/quizzes/tests with grades on them? Id so, then you should be able to do your own calculations of what your current grade is.
You also need to consider your SAP (satisfactory academic progress). If you drop one course, you will on,y have completed 50% of the courses for which you registered.
Check your college SAP policy…if you don’t meet SAP, you run the risk of losing financial aid until you DO meet SAP.
if you are taking 6 credits, if you drop one credit, your financial aid will drop to less than half time. Depending on how much financial aid you receive, you may end up owing your college money.
In addition, if you are taking 6 credits and drop 3, you are only successfully completing 50% of the credits that you have enrolled for. As @thumper1 one said, you stand to not meet your SAP requirements. If you don’t meet SAP, you will not be eligible for aid in subsequent semesters until you meet the requirements.
