What do I do when I leave AIC?

Leaving college

If you are receiving Federal or State grants or loans, and you leave AIC during a term (rather than at the end of the term) your financial aid will be adjusted to reflect the amount of earned and unearned aid. In essence, your earned aid is based on the number of days you completed, and the remaining balance will be returned back to the department of education. If you leave at the end of the term, you are eligible to keep the aid you received for the term completed, but all future aid will be cancelled. Since we know this can be a bit tricky, we encourage you to contact the financial aid office for more information, and for a counseling session.

Exit Counseling

Exit Counseling is required anytime a student leaves their college or drops below half time status (typically <6 credits in a semester)- this is a valuable tool that will let you know about all of your repayment options available to you- and what to do if you need some help along the way
