Bunker Hill Community College

Withdrawals

Financial aid awards are based on student eligibility and enrollment level at the end of the schedule adjustment period (drop/add).  The schedule adjustment deadlines are posted in the course catalog and throughout the college.

Wthdrawal from a Course

Students that are enrolled in multiple courses and withdraw from one course during a semester will generally not see a change in Pell grant status.  However, changes may be made to the status of your MassGrant, Mass Part time Grant, Federal Stafford loan, or Federal Work Study amounts based on your new eligibility level.  If you are concerned about the impact withdrawing from a course may have on your financial aid award, please contact the Financial Aid Office.

Please be aware that withdrawing from multiple courses may cause you to fail the Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements listed in the College catalog and may cause you to become ineligible for financial aid in the future.

NA Grades

Students who are reported as not attending a class may receive a grade(s) of NA.  You are not eligible for financial aid funds for a class in which you receive an NA grade.  The financial aid office will recalculate your financial aid award for the semester.  Please be aware that this may cause you to owe a balance to the College.

Withdrawal from the College

Students who withdraw from all classes for which they are registered during a semester may have their federal and state aid award recalculated.  This is done in compliance with federal and state regulations.  The percentage of aid earned is determined by dividing the number of days a student was enrolled by the number of days in the semester. If the student withdraws from all courses after the 60% point in the semester, Title IV aid is viewed as 100% earned. Students that withdraw before the 60% point of the semester may owe a balance to the College.  For more information on how your financial aid will be recalculated, please visit http://bunkerhillonline.com/inside/134.

Students who receive loan funds while students at Bunker Hill Community College are required to complete an exit loan interview session before leaving the college.

Please be aware that withdrawing from multiple courses may cause you to fail the Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements listed in the College catalog and may cause you to become ineligible for financial aid in the future.

Failing all Courses for a Semester

Students that fail to pass any of their classes during a semester may be subject to a financial aid recalculation.  If do not receive a passing grade in at least one of your classes, your financial aid will be adjusted unless you are able to document your attendance in classes for the full semester.   For more information on how your financial aid will be recalculated, please visit http://bunkerhillonline.com/inside/134.   This recalculation may cause you to owe a balance to the College.
