- Most financial aid awards require at least half-time attendance and many programs require full-time attendance.
- Grants, including Federal Pell Grant, are offered based on full-time enrollment; however, actual amount disbursed is based on enrolled credits at the end of drop/add. Some grants will pay for full-time status only, others will pro-rate for part-time status. Check the minimum credit hours on the Aid Types page.
- 国产短视频awards are prorated based upon actual 国产短视频hours enrolled.
- Once you have passed a course, you can take the course one more time and it can count in your hours enrolled for receipt of federal aid and 国产短视频Grants.
- Courses taken on an audit basis do not count in determining your enrollment status for financial aid.
- If you have both undergraduate and graduate/professional level classes, check the multi-level enrollment page for more information.
