Question
What’s the difference between dropping one course and dropping all courses in a term?
Answer
Dropping one course may reduce your aid if it puts you below part-time or full-time status—but you’re still enrolled. Dropping all your classes counts as a full withdrawal and may trigger Return to Title IV rules, which could require you to repay some aid. Always talk to a counselor or the Financial Aid Office before making changes to your schedule.
