Student Financial Services
Census & Proration Policy
Your Credit Load Affects Your Aid
Your offered awards were based on full-time enrollment in both the fall and spring semesters. If you register for less than full-time in either the fall or spring terms, your aid may be prorated based on your lower enrollment status.
If your enrollment changes prior to Census, your awards may fluctuate according to the schedule below. Dropping credits after your awards have been disbursed (including direct deposit) may result in a bill. Census enrollment figures will determine your final semester disbursement amounts.
Student Financial Assistance does not count audited courses toward students' enrollment status.
