If you do not attend class, you are not entitled to benefits.
If you stop attending a class, you must either drop during the university's recognized Drop/Add period at the beginning of each semester or you must officially withdraw through the university's Office of the Registrar.
NOTE: Please be mindful of not only the dates of the Drop/Add period, but also of the times for final drop. LU's Drop/Add period ends at 5pm on the last advertised date of the Drop/Add period.
If you stop attending a class after the Drop/Add period, you must withdraw officially through the Registrar's Office.
Please check the student handbook on limitations on the number of allowed withdrawals.
These are your responsibilities.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT VARIOUS CHARGES WILL STILL APPLY FOR A CLASS FROM WHICH YOU HAVE WITHDRAWN.
Federal Law requires that students report any change in enrollment status which might affect VA Educational Benefits to the school and VA.
- When there is an overpayment, the VA will withhold future payments or ask for repayment of the overpaid benefits.
- Depending on the situation, they can take you to court, charge interest, as well as withhold future tax refunds, attach wages, put a lien on property or deny home loans.
- It is imperative that you report any changes in your enrollment to the Financial Aid Office immediately.
Students on VA Educational Benefits must maintain satisfactory progress. If a student on VA benefits falls below a 2.0 GPA, this is reported to the VA as unsatisfactory progress. To reinstate your benefits, you must complete one semester with a 2.0 GPA or higher.
