• Special Note for Financial Aid Recipients: The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 changed the formula for calculating the amount of aid a student can retain when the student totally withdraws from all classes. Students who drop, withdraw or stop attending classes prior to completing more than 60% of an enrollment term will have the aid recalculated based on the percent of the term completed and may be required to repay aid awarded. Please consult the Financial Aid office for specific rules governing aid.
• All financial obligations must be met before grades or transcripts can be released and/or future registration is permitted.

in-state classification is effective as of the date on which reclassification was sought. However, out-of-state
