I know that in previous semester you had to remain full-time or you would have to give back your finaid right? But I thought I heard somewhere that you could still get aid part-time if it was your last semester before graduating. Is this true. I currently have 12hrs. Can I drop one (giving me 9), take a couple classes in june, and still keep my aid for this semester?

Senior or not, you have to be at 12+ hours to be eligible for financial aid

okay, but in there it said you might have to repay some if you withdraw before 60% of the semester, I think we're past that point, or right at it. So does that mean I wouldn't have to repay anything? also, would i just have to repay some if i kept 9 hrs?

If you drop to 9 hours right now, you'll lose ALL your eligibility for fin aid for this semester. You'll have to repay something...loans at the very least, and probably grants as well.

Call your financial aid advisor.

Generally you just need to be registered with 12+, doesnt really matter how you end up.

you could change a class to audit ... then just ignore it

Audits count as zero credit hours. Not an option unfortunately.

sNuw, take a fun course for credit only. You should be able to make a C- in a fun course.
