Stay Informed, Stay Eligible

Understanding financial aid policies helps you keep your funding and stay on track to graduate. BC3 is here to make sure you know what’s expected — and how to get help if challenges arise. 

Key Policies

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) 

To keep your financial aid, you must: 

  • Maintain at least a 2.0 GPA. 
  • Successfully complete 67% of credits attempted. 
  • Finish your degree within 150% of required credits (for example, 90 credits for a 60-credit degree).

Withdrawal Policy 

  • Dropping courses may affect your financial aid. 
  • Complete withdrawals can result in a recalculation of your aid and may create a balance you owe. 
  • Always check with Financial Aid before withdrawing. 

Review the semester Refund Schedule for the deadline dates of each session of classes to determine if you are "dropping" at 100% refund or "withdrawing" after the 100% refund period has ended.

Drug Conviction Policy 

Students with certain drug convictions may lose eligibility for federal aid. 

Student Consumer Information 

As required by federal law, BC3 provides transparent info about costs, policies, and student outcomes.
