Enrollment/Student Bills/Financial Aid

Top 5 Things to Know About Your Bill and Financial Aid

1. After Add/Drop, You’re Responsible

  • Once the add/drop deadline passes, you are financially responsible for every class you are still registered for.
  • This is true even if you never attend the class.

2. Financial Aid Only Covers Attended Classes

  • Financial aid can only be applied to classes you are registered for and have attended.
  • If you register but do not attend, you will still be charged and will not receive aid for that class.

3. Withdrawing Can Affect Your Aid

  • If you withdraw, fail, or take an incomplete, it lowers your completion rate.
  • You must complete at least 66.67% of all courses you attempt to keep financial aid.
  • Falling below this requirement could lead to suspension of aid.

4. Stopping Attendance Can Create a Bill

  • If you stop attending or withdraw from all your classes, a portion of your financial aid will be returned to the government.
  • This may leave you with a bill to pay, even if you withdrew due to illness or personal reasons.

5. Always Talk to Financial Aid First

  • Before you drop or withdraw from any class, meet with the Financial Aid Office.
  • We can explain how your decision will affect your current bill, your aid this semester, and your future eligibility.

Quick Tips for Success

  • Check the Academic Calendar for add/drop deadlines each semester.

  • Review your financial aid requirements and awards in MyRCC.

  • Ask questions early. If you are unsure, reach out to Financial Aid before making changes to your schedule.
