Authorization procedures
The Financial Aid office adjusts students’ quarterly award amounts based on the enrollment level as of the financial aid census date. Students should contact the Financial Aid office for more information about the census dates for the current award year.
Payment cannot be authorized for the following situations:
- Audited courses
- More than one repetition of a course after passing with an R, P, D, or better
Award amounts are not adjusted after the appropriate census date for any increase or decrease in a student’s enrollment level. There are two exceptions to this policy:
- If a student completely withdraws from all classes, Title IV Return of Title IV regulations may require that a portion of a student’s aid be returned to the Department of Education by the institution and by the student. (See Return of Federal Funds for more information.)
- If a student drops a class that has not started and received a 100-percent refund, aid is reduced to reflect the new enrollment status.
Students should contact the Financial Aid office for more information, especially when adding or dropping classes.
