If a student does process an official drop from classes: 1. The permanent record will reflect a withdrawal grade (W)*. 2. The student may or may not be eligible for future financial aid. 3. The student may receive a refund of fees paid (if within the stipulated allowable time-frame). Any reduction in fees paid will be refunded to the appropriate funding institution, as mandated by federal guidelines, or to the student.
