Ten days prior to the term, your aid eligibility will be determined based on听enrollment.听It will then be evaluated at other points to match your your registration through the听15th day of the term.

In addition to aid disbursement,听your total aid eligibility may adjust with a听part-time budget adjustment听based on your enrollment for the term as determined through the 15th day.

Students attending less than full-time are categorized broadly as part-time for that term.听For financial aid purposes, sub-categories of half-time and less than half-time are used to define financial aid fund eligibility.

The chart below can assist you in planning how your aid funds will adjust based on your enrollment. Use it with the term breakdown of your听financial aid award offer听to view the full-time (or 100%) amount.听Calculate how your aid will decrease for non-full-time terms and, as always, project your听tuition costs听for those same terms to anticipate any out-of-pocket expenses you may have.

While your aid may not adjust immediately with a specific听enrollment change, all aid will be re-evaluated by the 15th day of the term to determine your term aid eligibility.

Enrollment classification based on hours for the term is different for undergraduate and graduate/professional students.听

NOTES:

• n/a = Not available.
• Check terms of听scholarships听awarded to you; while most are for full-time, a limited number allow or are designed for part-time enrollment.
• Students who do not use their full Pell Grant eligibility during fall and spring due to part-time enrollment can access their untapped annual eligibility in听summer.
• Some higher SAIs听within the Federal Pell Grant-eligible range for full-time attendance听do not allow for funding when听registered at听part-time, half-time or less than half-time; if your full-time term Pell is less than $500, you may not be eligible for funds when enrolled less than full-time.
• Federal Work-Study summer employment does not require听summer enrollment听as long as the student is enrolled for the following fall.
• Students who are on co-op should review听information specific to co-op听so as to understand how Pell and loan awards are treated over the course of each academic year and scholarships are counted over an academic career.
• Chart information for Alternative Loans is general.听
  
  • Select alternative loans will allow less than half-time enrollment.
  • Alternative loans may limit eligibility based on academic program or standing.
  • Availability and eligibility for any alternative loan can change as lenders continually review their loan products.

Because financial aid awards are initially made with the assumption that students will be enrolled full time, adjustments will have to occur upon verification that a student is enrolling part-time. The听cost of attendance or financial aid budget听for part-time students is adjusted to reflect the lower amount of tuition and other educational expenses typically incurred by less than full time students.

Student Financial Aid will review all part-time students both before the beginning of each term and after听the first two weeks (15th day)听to ensure the amount of aid received in the term does not exceed the adjusted part-time budget.

In rare cases where aid eligibility is reduced due to a smaller aid budget, a student may have a balance due following the aid adjustment if refund checks were processed in advance of the adjustment. Student Financial Aid will notify students of any aid eligibility adjustment due to part-time status via their听.
