Summer Financial Aid Eligibility

All of the sessions during the summer (from May to August) are combined to comprise the summer semester. Thus, a student who enrolls for three credits in the first six-week session and for an additional three credits in the second six-week session is considered to be enrolled in six credits for the summer semester. The summer is the third semester of the academic year following the fall and spring semesters.

Typically, students who enroll full-time (twelve credits or more) during each of the fall and spring semesters will consume all of their financial aid eligibility and will have no remaining funds for their summer enrollment. Students who enroll part-time (less than twelve credits) during one or both of the fall or spring semesters may have financial aid funds remaining for the summer semester, particularly if they are Pell Grant recipients.

Students who want to be evaluated for summer financial aid eligibility should submit the College's summer financial aid application which is usually available in March and can be obtained on the web site.
