Consequences of Withdrawing or Dropping Classes as a Financial Aid Recipient

Students who are receiving Federal or State financial assistance can only receive aid for up to 150% of the cumulative credit hours required to complete their degree or certificate, as outlined in the DACC College Catalog.  Once a student reaches this 150% threshold, they will no longer be eligible for Federal or State financial assistance.

It is important for students to work with an academic advisor to request a degree audit, which will help clarify what is needed to complete their program in a timely manner.  Additionally, students who receive financial aid should consult with the Financial Aid office before they dropping any courses.
