Thinking About Dropping ALL your classes?

Think Again! Did you know that dropping ALL of your classes or failing ALL your classes could mean that the Financial Aid Office may ask you to repay some or all of your financial aid awards? It's a federal requirement! BCTC has many resources to help you through the semester. Review the R2T4 webpage before you make that decision! 

Undecided and Pending Majors

Federal guidelines for Federal Financial Aid requires BCTC to make sure that all students choose an approved program plan or major by the time they attempt 30 credit hours. If a student does not choose an approved program plan or major after attempting 30 credit hours, he or she is no longer eligible to receive Federal Financial Aid including student loans.
