It depends on your university's code of conduct (which, by attending the school, you are deemed to have agreed to) and the terms of the agreements governing your financial aid and admissions. There is no general answerr in the law--it depends entirely on the college and the conditions under which you get financial aid. You need to review these documents and policies to see what your rights are.
