It is your responsibility to contact the NPC Financial Aid Office when changes are made to your class schedule to avoid any financial aid overpayment charges.

• If you drop a course before or on the last day to withdraw without a "W" on your transcript (see date above), you should add another course for the SAME NUMBER OF CREDIT HOURS to avoid any financial aid overpayment charges.
• If your course is canceled by NPC, you should add another course for the SAME NUMBER OF CREDIT HOURS to avoid any financial aid overpayment charges.
• If you do not attend a course you registered for and your instructor reports you as a NO SHOW your financial aid will be adjusted and you will be billed for that course.
• If you exchange one course for another contact financial aid. Financial aid will check to see if the new course meets the same requirements as your original course for financial aid funding.
