Withdrawal Penalty / Repayment Requirements

Students who receive federal financial aid and:

  • completely withdraw, stop attending, or are expelled (after the deadline drop with a refund) or
  • are enrolled in a combination of module and full-term classes and drop or stop attending all full-term classes

May be subject to a repayment of unearned financial aid. A Title IV return calculation determines, based on withdrawal date, the amount of federal aid that the student has earned. The amount of federal aid earned, under the federal aid return policy, may be less than tuition and other charges. This means that upon withdrawal, a student may owe CCC tuition and other charges in excess of net student aid. The student is responsible for payment of charges not covered by student aid. Withdrawal from classes after the tuition due date may affect completion rates that are required for satisfactory academic progress.

At the time of complete withdrawal, students can request an estimated Title IV refund/repayment calculation from the Financial Aid office.
