  • I understand I must be enrolled in an eligible BBCC degree or certificate program.
  • I understand that if I withdraw from all my classes, I may have to repay some of the funds I received for which I was not eligible. The Return of Funds policy is posted on the Financial Aid website.

  • I understand I must maintain SAP to qualify for and continue to receive financial aid.
