Spring Semester 2012 Financial Aid
We typically award financial aid for Fall and Spring Semesters at the beginning of the aid year. If you already have Financial Aid in place, you do not have to reapply for Spring Semester. If you did not attend Fall Semester, we will automatically package financial aid for Spring and Summer Semesters. Check your Self-Service for the status of your financial aid before contacting our office if you have questions.
Change for Summer Financial Aid
In order to continue Pell Grant at current funding levels during the academic year, congress has eliminated the Year Round Pell Grant Program that was in effect Summer Session 2011. Pell Grant recipients who attend school full time in the Fall Semester 2011 and Spring Semester 2012 will not have any Pell Grant eligibility for Summer Session 2012. Pell Grant recipients who do not attend full time in the Fall and Spring Semesters may have limited Pell Grant eligibility left for the Summer Session. If you plan to attend classes during Summer Session, it is recommended that you plan your finances well in advance. Funding for Summer Session is extremely limited and many students must rely on alternative loan options to attend Summer Session classes.
