If you will totally withdraw from classes, begin the withdrawal process at the Admissions and Records Office, then immediately go the Office of Financial Aid to learn how much you will owe and how you must repay it.  If you leave school without taking care of this matter and you owe money, the Office of Financial Aid will request a national hold on your student aid eligibility.

You are required to repay Federal aid if you withdraw before completing 60 percent of the term.
