Fall / Spring Semesters
In order to be eligible for full federal, state and institutional aid, students must be enrolled full time, which is defined as 12 credit hours per semester.
Students must be enrolled part time (defined as a minimum of six credit hours per semester) to be eligible for any federal financial aid, such as Pell Grants and student loans.
Summer Sessions
Students must be registered for a minimum of six semester hours during the summer to be eligible for financial aid. It does not matter if the student is enrolled in all six hours the first summer session, three hours in Summer I and three hours in Summer II, or four hours in Summer I and two hours in Summer II.
Students are encouraged to contact the Office of Financial Aid for further information on eligibility and qualifications.
