Maintain required enrollment status
If you are an undergraduate or graduate student, you must be enrolled at least half time during any semester in which you receive financial aid:
- Undergraduate half time: six credit hours
- Graduate half time: four credit hours
Some grants require that you maintain full-time status. In those cases, you must be enrolled in at least:
- Undergraduate full time: twelve credit hours
- Graduate full time: eight credit hours
Any change to your enrollment may result in a change to your financial aid eligibility. This includes:
- Decreases in enrolled credit hours
- Nonattendance in a class or unofficial withdrawal
- Official withdrawal
If any of these occur, you may be asked to return money you’ve already received, and may not receive money you’re expecting.
