Transient Student Enrollment

Types of Transient Enrollment

How Transient Enrollment Can Affect Your Financial AidÌý

Taking courses at another institution can affect how and when your financial aid is disbursed.Ìý
For example, if you are enrolled in 6 credits at Â鶹¾«Æ·ÊÓƵand 6 credits at another institution and have been offered Federal Pell Grant and Federal Direct Loans:Ìý

• Your Pell Grant initially disburses based on your 6 Â鶹¾«Æ·ÊÓƵcredits.Ìý
• Your Federal Direct Loans can disburse because you are enrolled at least half-time.Ìý
• The additional Pell Grant eligibility for your approved courses at the Host School can be considered after Â鶹¾«Æ·ÊÓƵreceives and processes your required transient enrollment documentation.Ìý

This means your full financial aid may not disburse at the same time. Complete all required transient paperwork as early as possible to help avoid delays.Ìý
