Credits and Enrollment Status

To receive most types of financial aid, students must be enrolled at least half time in a degree-seeking program every semester. If your enrollment status changes or you fail to attend classes for which you registered, your financial aid may be adjusted. We will email you if an adjustment is made. Learn more about adjustments to financial aid.
