The information that you report on your FAFSA is used to determine your Expected Family Contribution. When your file is complete, the SVC Financial Aid Office will evaluate your application and notify you of your eligibility.
Your financial aid need is determined using the following formula:

60% Dates (Return of Financial Aid Funds)
If you’re receiving financial aid grants or loans, you must attend your classes. Don’t drop or stop attending any class without consulting the Financial Aid Office. Changes in your enrollment level and failing grades may require you to repay federal financial aid funds.
Federal regulations require you to repay a portion of financial aid funds if you withdraw from all classes before satisfying the 60% completion rule for the enrollment term.
You also may be required to repay financial aid funds if you receive failing grades in all of your classes unless an instructor can document that you attended class for at least 60% of the enrollment period.
