Financial Aid Refund Examples

The number of credit hours students take in each term will affect when their financial aid is issued and how much of their financial aid can be applied to their student account each term.

If it supports students’ academic and personal plans, and if students are financial-aid eligible, they should consider enrolling in six hours in the first term because certain kinds of aid require that students are not only enrolled in a certain number of credit hours, but that they are actually sitting in those classes.
