your educational journey at Tri-C, so if you need help, don’t be a stranger! Our door is always open, so please don’t ever

withdrawing from all classes should contact their campus Student Financial Aid & Scholarship Office to determine how a change in

enrollment status will affect their aid eligibility. Because financial aid funds are paid based on a student’s attendance, any change

in status may require a student to repay federal financial aid funds already received.
