I am a full-time college student. I have already received my grant money from the government for my enrollment fees for this year. I am also filing taxes on which I state that I am a full-time student. I am in a class this semester (we are about half-way through) that I have no hope of passing, and I would like to drop it before Thursday so that I can receive a grade of "W" (it's better than an "F"), although I will not get a refund. If I drop this class, I will no longer be considered a full-time student.
My question is: if I am no longer considered a full-time student for the rest of this semester, will the government find out and if so, will it affect me in any way? They can't take the money back, right? And will it affect my tax return? I have been a full-time student up until now, so would I even need to mention that I am dropping this class (I'll only be a "part-time" student for two months)?

Don't worry. You can drop the class and they can't take the money back. Also, it doesn't matter on your taxes. They are for last year, as of December 31, 2006. Just drop the class and try again later, only harder.
