Attendance

In order to be eligible for financial aid funds, you must begin attendance in all of your classes. After the first two weeks of the semester, if you have not attended class your professors will report you as a "No Show," and you will be notified by mail. Being reported as a “No Show” will cause you to lose your eligibility for financial aid unless you can provide attendance confirmation from all professors teaching the courses for which you are reported as a “No Show”. It is your responsibility to request attendance confirmation from all of your professors and email it to the Office of Financial Aid at enrollmentservices@mc3.edu.

Audits

Financial aid does not pay for audit classes. If an audit class changes your enrollment status, your financial aid will be recalculated and returned. If charges are incurred, you will be responsible for paying them.

Course Repeats

Funding Eligibility for Repeated Courses

1. After Successfully Completing a Course:

   • Students can only receive federal financial aid for one additional attempt.
   • For example, if a student earns credit for a course and then retakes it, they are not eligible for financial aid funding if they attempt the course a third time.

2. After Two Successful Attempts:

   • Students are no longer eligible for federal financial aid if they repeat the course for a third time and they received grades of a D or higher for each of the two previous attempts.
   • Important Note: If a student unsuccessfully completes a course (e.g., fails, withdraws, or drops), the attempt does not count towards the repeat calculation.

Grade and Attempt Order

• The sequence of grades and attempts impacts federal financial aid eligibility:
  • Example: If a student earns a grade of "D" (or a grade higher than "F") on the first attempt, this counts as Attempt 1.
  • If the student takes the course again and receives an "F," both attempts are counted. In this case, the course is no longer eligible for financial aid funding.
  • If the student receives an "F" grade on their first attempt, this does not count as an attempt and they can now take the course (2) more times and receive federal financial aid funding.
