How does my enrollment level affect my financial aid?

Your enrollment status is important because it affects both your financial aid eligibility and when your funds will be disbursed.
  • You must be enrolled at least half-time to qualify for most financial aid.
  • Aid is disbursed based on your enrollment level and class start dates.
  • Dropping or withdrawing from courses may reduce your aid or require repayment.
  • Only courses that count toward your program are included in your enrollment status.
