A Success Team convened by the Chancellor and Provost to address issues of Financial Aid Optimization for our students has been meeting. They have identified some processes that seem to cause financial complications for our students and they are trying to get the word out to students, faculty, and staff.
One of those issues is around changes in Financial Aid when students adjust their course schedule (particularly when they drop or withdraw from classes once the semester has begun). In order to let people know, we have created a flier that will be posted around campus and an electronic banner that will rotate through on the student portal.
The takeaway message for students is that if they receive financial aid and are considering dropping a class, they should talk with a financial aid advisor to be sure that they understand the impact on their financial aid.
