Things to be aware of regarding enrollment:
-
Must be an active degree seeking student
-
Most financial aid awards require at least half-time attendance and many programs require full-time attendance.
-
Grants, including Federal Pell Grant, are offered based on full-time enrollment; however, actual amount disbursed is based on enrolled credits at the end of drop/add. Some grants will pay for full-time status only, others will pro-rate for part-time status. Check the minimum credit hours on the Financial Aid Programs At-A-Glance
-
USF awards are prorated based upon actual USF hours enrolled.
-
Once you have passed a course, you can take the course one more time and it can count in your hours enrolled for receipt of federal aid and USF Grants.
-
Courses taken on an audit basis do not count in determining your enrollment status for financial aid.
