Financial Aid - Winter/Summer Enrollment

Winter Enrollment:

• Coursework taken during the winter term is added to spring hours for determination of aid eligibility in the spring. For example:   a student taking 3 hrs in 201925 and 3 hours in 201930 would qualify for a loan during 201930 (so long as all hours are part of their POS).

Summer Enrollment:

• Summer I and summer II are counted as 1 semester (the same as fall and spring) so the hours are added together.
  
• Loans are not available in the summer unless the student is registered for 6 hours in the summer AND completed 6 hours in the spring (this only applies to loan eligibility).
  
• Pell eligible students can receive any portion of Pell grant that they did not use in fall or spring. So, if a student was ¾ time in the fall and full-time in the spring, they have ¼ Pell left for summer (for enrollment in 1-5 hours). If this student registered for 6 hours or more, they would get the remainder of their Pell and then be eligible for the additional Pell.
• New regulations allow a student to get an additional amount of Pell grant in the summer if they enroll in at least 6 hours. So a student that was enrolled FT in fall and FT in spring would have no Pell remaining if they enrolled in 1-5 hours, but would be eligible for an additional Pell grant if they registered for 6 hours or more (up to 12 hours).
