How Your Enrollment Affects Your Aid

Your offered awards are based on full-time enrollment in both the fall and spring semesters. If you register for less than full-time in either the fall or spring terms, your aid may be prorated based on your lower enrollment status.

If your enrollment changes prior to Census (see definition above), your awards may fluctuate according to the schedule below. Dropping credits after your awards have been disbursed (including direct deposit) may result in a bill. Census enrollment figures will determine your final semester disbursement amounts.

Student Financial Assistance does not count audited courses toward students' enrollment status.
