Determining Your Payment Amount
Your payment amounts for all programs are based on enrollment status. The table below provides the enrollment status based on enrolled units.

Financial aid payments will be based on your enrollment status, which is determined as of a set date each semester, known as the "freeze date".  If you add units after these dates you will not receive an increase, the only exception is if you were waitlisted for a course by the freeze date.  If you submit your FAFSA after the semester freeze date has passed, your enrollment status will be determined when we receive your valid FAFSA data.  You must begin all of your courses if you are removed from the class roster as a no show, your enrollment status will be adjusted and you may be required to return funds.

Enrollment status can be adjusted for students due to Satisfactory Academic Progress standards. For example, you may be limited to specific courses as part of the condition of your appeal. Remedial and repeat course limitations may also reduce your enrollment status for financial aid purposes.

Pell Grant: This grant is paid in three payments throughout the Fall and Spring semesters.  Two payments are made for Summer session for eligible students.
