Due to inclement weather Columbia College has transitioned to remote operations for
the week of February 17-20, 2026. While most operations will be remote, the campus
will be open between 10:00 am – 4:00 pm each day. The campus will be closed from 4:00
pm – 10:00 am on Wednesday and Thursday nights. Campus will remain closed from 4:00
pm Friday, February 20 – 8:00 am Monday, February 23, 2026.
A student who receives federal financial assistance and withdraws from all of their
classes before completing more than 60% of the semester will be required to return any unearned federal funds. The amount
of the return will be calculated on a pro-rata basis.
Federal regulations require a recalculation of financial aid eligibility if a student:
Completely withdraws;
Stops attending before the semester’s end
Example Calculation:
19 days attended out of 111 days in the semester (fall/spring) 19 / 111 = 17.11% Earned 100% - 17.11% = 82.89% owed back to Financial Aid
