<p>Hey everyone, my little brother just petitioned to have his fall 08 semester withdrawn. It's a retroactive withdrawal. He took ill late in the semester and recieved 4 fails. The school approved his petition. He recieved grants and federal loans that semester. He also just finished his spring 09 semester and also recieved grants and loans for that semester. He didn't know about the petion until late this past spring semester. </p>
<p>So my question is, will he have to repay all the grants and federal loans for fall 08? I was reading on some old posts, where people comment about withdrawing certain classes within the semester, recieving W's, and the process not affecting their financial aid. So does it kind of work in the same way here? He withdrew all his classes. Thankyou for any comments, he's really worried.</p>
