Any changes to your class schedule that occurs before the last day to add or drop a class may cause your grant award to be adjusted.

Grant Awards

Please keep in mind that most grant awards are disbursed based on the number of credit hours enrolled. Any changes to your class schedule that occurs before the last day to add or drop a class may cause your grant awards to be adjusted. You may see multiple adjustments on your student account.

If grants are posted to your account as a full-time student and you drop to less than full-time after your financial aid refund is issued, you may owe a portion of your refund back to the University.
