Enrollment Status

The Financial Aid Office uses enrollment status (i.e. full-time, 3/4-time, half-time, less than half-time, not enrolled) to determine eligibility for aid. Only courses that count towards meeting the requirements of your degree can be used to determine enrollment status for federal student aid programs. This means the enrollment status used to determine your eligibility for federal student aid programs may be different from the enrollment status in your academic record.

Changes in enrollment during an academic period may include:

• unofficial and official withdrawals from The University,
• approved Leave of Absence,
• dropping classes,
• ceasing to attend all courses,
• changes in the number of credits taken during the period, or
• changes to your program of study that occur during an academic period. 

Such changes may impact the aid awarded for that period.
