Will I still be receiving Financial Aid?
If you have already been approved for financial aid, you will continue to receive payments as previously scheduled. If your file is not yet complete, please submit the required documentation.  Once your file is completed, you will be awarded and paid based on the current payment schedule.  You will be notified about awards and payments via your IVC student email.

Will withdrawing due to COVID-19 negatively affect my Academic Progress for Financial Aid purposes?
No, courses dropped due to COVID-19 will not negatively impact Satisfactory Academic Progress evaluations. These courses will not count as units attempted toward completion rate or maximum timeframe.

If I dropped classes, will my financial aid change?
No, even if all courses are dropped due to COVID-19, the Return to Title IV calculation requirement will be waived and you will not be required to return unearned grant funds. If your course fees were waived with the California College Promise Grant (formerly BOG), there are no course fees to be refunded.
