FINANCIAL AID AWARD ENROLLMENT


Enrollment Affects Your Financial Aid
Awards issued prior to the start of each semester are based on full-time enrollment (15 credits Undergraduates/12 credits Graduates). Any changes of enrollment may affect the amount of your award. Many financial aid programs are available to students enrolled at least half-time. Some awards may be reduced based on your enrollment status.  Each semester prior to releasing financial aid funds the Financial Aid Office compares your award to your enrollment.  If you fail to meet the enrollment criteria for an award, the Financial Aid Office will re-evaluate your eligibility and revise the award accordingly. Failure to meet any of the award conditions will delay the release of funds.
