Congress and the Department of Veterans Affairs are still considering changes to minimize the effects of COVID-19 on the community. Students receiving financial aid or veterans benefits should remember that you must follow certain rules currently in place, in order to keep your funding this semester:

If you have only online courses, then your FA and VA funding remains unchanged as long as you pass your classes.
If you have classes that are moved online or remote instruction, then the same rule applies.
If you have classes, or portions of classes (e.g., labs, clinicals), that are not moved to an online/remote format, and are extended, you must return to class to complete it when the college’s facilities re-open.
If you have a late starting class that cannot be started, then your aid will be recalculated and unearned aid must be repaid.
If you have Veterans Benefits and are in a 3^rd 5 week MTT1 class, VA will not pay for a developmental class to be offered online.Your certification will be amended to exclude that course after Wednesday, March 19, unless the rule is changed on that date.
If you are a Work-Study employee, check your student email for information about how to continue to be paid during the closure.

Bottom line: Please do not withdraw from your classes! The situation is very fluid and we continue to try to find win-win solutions. We can work with you in many different scenarios, but once you withdraw most options are gone. Continue to attend the online/remote versions where offered, and return to the College when our facilities re-open. Endeavor to pass as many classes as you can, to keep your aid.
