Financial Aid Estimated Payment Schedule
No Adjustments to Spring Awards After 1/29/24
Late start classes that were registered after 1/29/24 for Spring 2024, will not be included in a continuously enrolled student's* total enrollment for financial aid purposes. Therefore, if you make changes to your course load after this date, you will not see an increase/decrease to your total financial aid for the term. Please note that new students* who have just registered for a late start course (who were not attending any courses at the start of the term) can still be awarded Pell, the Promise Grant (BOG) Fee Waiver and potentially more if they enroll now. However, we do encourage that you visit our Virtual Lobby should you feel that changes to your course load were a result of an extenuating circumstance.
| New Student* | Continuously Enrolled Student* |
