...effect your financial aid? If you knew you weren't going to pass a college class and you decided to drop or withdraw from the class before the class has ended for the semester, would it still effect your financial aid ??? I made a mistake because i did not pass this one class and my friends told me to withdraw from it so that it won't effect my financial aid and i didn't listen to them. I have a learning disability and I took 4 class last semester and i'm planning on only taking 2 this semester to reduce my course load.
