Loan Processing - Dropping Courses

• Remain enrolled for credit in 60% of a full post-secondary program of study.  University Prep courses do not count for BC Student Assistance purposes.
• Know what makes up 60% of a full program load.  It is 60% of the credits, not the courses.
• If you intend to drop courses or to switch from credit to audit, it is advisable to check with the Financial Aid & Awards Office to ensure it will not affect your student aid.
• Make sure you hand in your assignments, attend classes and seminars and write all quizzes and exams, otherwise you may be considered to have technically withdrawn from the course, which could drop you below the required 60% program load.
• All withdrawals (regular, medical and technical) which drop a student below the required 60%) program load, result in reassessment and generally disentitlement to funds.  Future student aid will also be affected and interest penalties may be incurred.  Medical withdrawals may be reviewed by the government upon request if the physician indicates the withdrawal from studies was recommended.
