FAQ - What happens if I completely withdraw from all my classes?

Question
What happens if I completely withdraw from all my classes?
Answer

In addition to potentially losing future Arizona Assurance funding for not meeting all renewal requirements which include completion of 24 units per academic year, federal regulations require financial aid to be awarded under the assumption that you will attend the institution for the entire period in which federal assistance was awarded.


Unless you complete 60% of the term in which federal aid was awarded, you will be required to return all or part of the financial aid released to your Bursar's student account for that term. This applies to students who have officially (including medical), or unofficially withdrawn. Complete withdrawals will also affect your Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) status. For more information about how a withdrawal affects financial aid, you may visit our withdrawal policy webpage.


If you are considering a complete withdrawal, you should also speak with your Academic Advisor and an Arizona Assurance staff member. To find your Academic Advisor visit https://advising.arizona.edu.
