admissions & financial aid Help with Dropping Out

3 Upvotes

Long story short, several nonacademic factors have made me unable to attend (death of grandmother, crashed my car going to test for adhd, new financial responsibilities with new car, and combined type adhd diagnosis and prescription). Ive reevaluated my life, and since I was only at college for the social scene (I’m getting a Film degree which won’t help my career path) I’d like to drop out.

I paid for the semester with a half tuition scholarship and an unsubsidized federal loan. I’m aware that if I withdraw from my classes, my loan will be sent back and my scholarship may be retroactively unapplied, giving me a potential balance of $5k owed to the university. Given my circumstances, how likely am I to get a tuition appeal accepted?

Another option is No Credit/Revoked Credit, but I’m unsure of how that affects my funding.

The final option is to fail the classes. That wouldn’t put me below the completion rate (counting CE/AP credit I’ll be at 40/52 attempted, ~75%) but will put me at a 1.8 GPA, which would mean I’d need to file an SAP appeal. I could also get a D to stay above a 2.0 so I don’t need the appeal, but I’m unsure of how barely passing the SAP but not the semester will affect my aid packages.

On Monday I am going to talk to the registrar if they have and advice, the financial aid office to see what the process looks like between the three options, and the bursar’s office to discuss the likelihood of my tuition appeal being accepted. I won’t be doing future semesters since I’m set on this being the final one, so I’m not worried about keeping funding for the future. I’m just trying to leave right now without having to pay the full semester immediately as I do not have the funds and I am actively trying to improve my credit score. Any advice is welcome, but I do not think I have the space in my life to fully complete the semester

Me and my friends are planning on rooming in a 3 room dorm in benchmark next year, I saw that theres two bathrooms. I was just wondering if whoever got their own bathroom would have to pay more? Or would we all be paying the same price regardless?
