For students receiving their first Completion Scholarship disbursement in summer 2021 or later:
Your scholarship will be adjusted based on changes you make to your enrollment. You will receive additional scholarship funding if you add courses. Any Completion Scholarship amount you receive for courses you withdraw from, fail, or otherwise do not earn credit for will remain applied to your account, but may be prorated based on your remaining balance due after other financial aid or tuition cost adjustments are complete. These credits still count toward your 60-credit maximum attempted credits allowed while receiving this scholarship.
We always recommend reaching out to the Tuition Planning team before withdrawing from any courses during the semester, as there may be financial aid implications of those enrollment actions.
For students who received their first Completion Scholarship disbursement in spring 2021 or earlier:
Your scholarship will be adjusted based on changes you make to your enrollment. You will receive additional scholarship funding if you add courses, or your scholarship will be reduced if you drop or withdraw from a course.
If you need to drop a course during the term, it is best to contact your advisor first. If you choose to drop your course during a term, you may want to consider replacing it with another course to ensure you can complete the term with at least 3 credits.
If you drop or withdraw from a course during the term, your Completion Scholarship will be reduced. If you owe a balance, please be sure to pay it as soon as possible. Not paying your balance will affect your ability to register for courses and receive the Completion Scholarship in future terms. Any unpaid balance may be sent to collections per UMGC institutional policy.
