Enrollment Impacts On Aid
The number of credits you’re enrolled in affects your financial aid eligibility. Finalize your class schedule at least 12 days before each semester begins so you know exactly what your award will be.
Minimum Credits for Aid
You need to be enrolled at least half-time to receive federal loans. If you’re enrolled less than that, you begin your grace period and repayment of your student loans.
