2. IMPACT OF WITHDRAWAL ON SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP):

The effective date of a withdrawal also affects the calculation of satisfactory academic progress. For purposes of calculating satisfactory progress, credits attempted is the number of registered credits after day 28 of the enrollment term. Thus, the date of withdrawal affects whether the credits are counted in the number of credits attempted.

4. IMPACT OF WITHDRAWAL ON YOUR FINANCIAL AID

Withdrawing may impact your federal, state and institutional grants and loans, scholarships and third-party sponsorships for the current term as well as future terms. A withdrawal that results in a change from full- to part-time enrollment status can jeopardize your financial aid eligibility. Following your withdrawal, all of your aid will be recalculated and you may have to return all or part of your aid for this term. Your withdrawal may result in a balance due on your account. Review Empire State College statements on Eligibility for New York State Financial Aid and Eligibility for Federal Student Aid.
