Financial Aid (Pell Grants) / PayBack

[whateverabouts]

How can I earn 100% of my Title IV aid?

There are three ways to "earn" 100% of your disbursed Title IV aid:

1. Receive a passing grade in at least 1 class for the semester; or
   
2. Attend class through 60% of the semester, and then officially drop all classes. These are called "Official Withdrawals."
   
3. If you do not pass any of your classes, at least one last day of attendance is beyond the 60% date. Last day of attendance for non-passing grades are supplied by your instructor. These are called "Unofficial Withdrawals."

This is what I am referring to. The issue at UMPI YourPace being, they break up the semester into two sessions, so I don’t know what bearing that has on the 60% rule or what date that means.

For example, on March 1 I drop both classes, that’s well beyond 60% of the session, but not the semester (which would be April for 60%). So the dates are not clear nor how it works with this session methodology.[/color]

I agree, switch to the 2 easiest possible courses for this term, and then 2 easy ones for next term.  Something that requires a VERY short paper or even just an exam.

I didn’t know that would be a possibility but seems to be the best alternative. I’ll email Jessica to ask. I thought it would need to be done by the add/drop date which I believe has already come and gone.
