Dropping Classes
If you are dropping some classes, but still enrolled in some classes, the Financial
Aid Office will be performing a Pell and Cal Grant Recalculation at census date.
The Financial Aid Office uses a census date each semester to determine the amount
of Pell Grant and Cal Grant a student will receive for the semester. All enrollment
will be locked on the financial aid census date at 11:59pm. Any enrollment adjustments (adds/drops) made after the financial aid census date
will not be considered. Students may owe if they drop before census date and a charge
will be posted on their student account. Appeals may be accepted for late adds if
there was an extenuating circumstance for adding late.

Pell recalculation and Return of Title IV are mandatory required by the federal regulations
and the Department of Education.
If you do not pay your debt by the due date specified in your overpayment letter, your debt may be assigned to collection to
the Chancellor’s Overpayment Tax Offset Program (COTOP) or to the Department of Education,
which could result in interest and/or fees being added.
