Spring 2008 Information:

QUARTERLY UNIT REQUIREMENTS

The Financial Aid Office checks your units on the census date at the end of the third week of classes . Enrollment below half time on that date will result in reduction or cancellation of your aid and billing for funds received. Half time for an undergraduate student is 6 units; 4 units for graduate students. For students who are not enrolled in full time at census date, following changes will be made:

University Grant, CAL Grant A, Cal Grant B Fee-paying award, work-study, Federal Loan (Perkins, Stafford , PLUS, Grad PLUS) –

These awards will not change if you maintain at least half-time enrollment. Grants will be canceled, if enrolled below half time. Loans may have to be canceled, if enrolled below half time.

Pell Grant, Cal Grant B Stipend –

These awards will be reduced by 25%, if enrolled 9-11 units; 50%, if enrolled 6-8 units. Cal Grant B will be canceled below half time enrollment and Pell Grant will be reduced by 75% (in some cases, Pell Grant may have to be canceled)

ACG and SMART Grant –

These grants require full time enrollment and will be canceled if enrolled below 12 units at census date.

Once aid is adjusted, it will not be reinstated automatically if your unit count increases after the census date. If you enroll in additional units after the census date please notify the Financial Aid Office immediately. University Grant , Cal Grant, work-study and loans can be reinstated.  Pell Grant, ACG and SMART Grants will not be reinstated if units are added after the census date.
