New Title IV (federal student aid) regulations define any course that exists within a semester but does not span the entire semester as a course being taught in modules (i.e. a weekend and evening course that meet for shorter periods). For courses offered in modules, a student may be considered withdrawn from the semester if he or she drops a course even after completing another course within the semester. For example, a student enrolls for two courses; three credits each, in the fall term. The first course meets every other weekend during November and December. In early November, after completing the first course and prior to beginning the second course, the student drops the second course. According to new regulations, the student is a withdrawal from the fall semester for federal student aid purposes and is subject to a return of federal student aid calculation.
