How does dropping a class or withdrawing from all classes affect SAP?

The Office of Financial Aid (OFA) monitors enrollment levels (number of credit hours attempted) each term. If you drop and/or withdraw from a course and fall below the minimum credit hour requirements, you may be required to repay all or part of the aid you received.

You may also be subject to Documentation of Attendance, the Federal Return of Title IV Funds policy, and the immediate repayment of disbursed aid. The OFA cannot assume that you began attendance or participated in academically related activity for the withdrawn courses; therefore, the OFA is required to document your attendance/participation with your instructors.

Dropping or withdrawing from courses can also affect your future eligibility for financial aid under the OFA Satisfactory Academic Progress standards available at www.wichita.edu/sappolicy. This information will be available in your Financial Aid Dashboard under the Satisfactory Academic Progress tab. You can click on the V to expand the box to view additional information about your SAP status.
