  • Your financial aid awards are based on the assumption that you will be attending full-time. A minimum of 12 credit hours is considered full-time for financial aid purposes for the Fall, Spring, and Summer terms for all programs. Your grant awards will be adjusted based on actual enrollment as of the financial aid freeze date.

8-Week Courses

  • If you enroll in the standard sixteen week or 1st 8-week semester, you must register for all classes, including 2nd 8-week courses by the financial aid freeze date. Students will not receive additional grant funding for 8-week courses added after the standard term freeze date.

Courses Not Required For Your Program of Study 

  • You are expected to be familiar with the course requirements for your program of study. Courses not required for completion of your degree, with the exception of foundation courses, cannot be considered when determining your eligibility for financial aid. Upon review of your schedule prior to disbursement of financial aid, if you are registered for courses not required for your program of study, your financial aid will be adjusted. Therefore, it is imperative that you review the requirements of your program of study. If you have questions about your program requirements please contact your advisor.
