Only classes added to your schedule before your original Pell Recalculation Date (same day as the 100% refund and final day to drop classes without a grade of 'W') will be included in Pell Grant eligibility. Please see the college calendar for this date.

Attendance confirmation in each class is required before the Pell Grant can be disbursed. If you have a full-term class and an accelerated class, a portion of your Pell Grant will be released after attendance is confirmed for the full-term class, and the remaining amount will be held until your accelerated class begins and attendance has been confirmed. If you have multiple course start dates, please contact Cardinal Central to inquire about your disbursement dates.

Please contact Cardinal Central before withdrawing from a class to get information about your specific situation. We will evaluate how a withdraw (grade of 'W') will impact your financial aid eligibility, if money is owed back to NIC, how it will affect your Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP), and other factors to help you make an informed decision.

Each class will have a specific drop-by date in which you can remove the class from your schedule without impacting your academic record or incurring a charge. Please see the college calendar for these dates.

There are multiple SAP appeal deadlines for each class schedule (16wk, 12wk, 8wk). Please see the college calendar for these dates.
