Census Date
The amounts and types of students' financial aid awards are set on the College's census date each semester. The census date is generally the last day of the add/drop period. The student's enrollment as of the census date determines eligibility for the financial aid which has been awarded as of that date. For example, if a student begins the semester with twelve credits and then after adding and dropping classes during the first two weeks of the semester is enrolled for nine credits on the census date, the College will adjust the student's financial aid based upon nine credits.
