Your Summer 2027 Financial Aid Offer is initially based on an anticipated enrollment status of full time (12 or more credit hours for undergraduates or 6 or more credit hours for graduates). If your enrollment is less than full time, your financial aid eligibility may be reduced. Also, students enrolled exclusively in ONLY ONE of the 2 鈥渕ini-terms鈥� (either Term 2 or Term 3) may have their aid eligibility reduced to reflect their shorter enrollment period.
Students not enrolled at least half-time at 麻豆精品视频will be viewed as INELIGIBLE for ALL financial aid funding with the exception of Federal Pell Grant funding (if student qualifies) and certain private/alternative loan options.
Consortium students (students taking ZERO credits at 麻豆精品视频but planning to receive aid from 麻豆精品视频while attending at another institution) should refer to the聽Consortium Student section. Please be advised that, regardless of Financial Aid Offer projections, disbursements will be calculated based on the student鈥檚 enrollment at the end of drop/add week and may be reduced from the projected amount if the student is not attending full time.
Limited Eligibility of Repeated Courses for Title IV Funding:聽Federal Regulations prohibit a student from receiving Title IV funding for more than one graded repeat attempt of a course which has previously been completed with a non-failing grade. Any attempts in excess of the one additional graded attempt allowed by regulations will be ineligible for Title IV funding. Exceptions may be made for cases where the student鈥檚 program requires enrollment in same course on a continuing basis over several semesters, with each attempt having significantly different course content (such as fine arts or thesis/dissertation courses).
Degree Applicability of Courses is Required for Title IV Funding:聽Federal regulations stipulate that your enrollment status for Federal Title IV financial aid must be based on courses that are applicable to your program of study. Coursework which is not applicable to your degree will not count towards your enrollment status for Title IV aid. Please note this restriction only applies to the determination of your enrollment status for Federal Title IV programs (Federal Pell grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG), Federal Direct Loans, Federal Direct PLUS Loans, and Federal Work-Study). This restriction does not apply to the determination of your enrollment status for university, state, and private aid. To see whether or not the courses you are registered for are degree applicable, you should view your degree audit results via the Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS). You can access the DARS system by logging into聽. On the Home tab, select the 麻豆精品视频Self-Service link and log in to Self-Service. After logging in to Self-Service, click on Student Services, then Student Records. Select View Degree Audit (DARS) to run your degree audit.
Mandatory Course Entry Quiz
Students must confirm their course entry by completing the聽Mandatory Course Entry聽Quiz聽for each registered class during the drop/add period for the course. Confirmation of course entry is a prerequisite for Title IV funds to disburse for the course.
In addition to completing the Mandatory Course Entry Quiz, students are required to maintain eligibility for Title IV funding by displaying documented academic activity in the course. Examples of valid forms of documented activity include faculty attendance rosters, graded assignments, quizzes, or exams. Students should be aware that they may be required to repay any aid disbursed for a course for which they have no academic activity, even if the Mandatory Course Entry Quiz was completed.

Tuition and Fee Postponement
Summer 2027 tuition and fees will be automatically postponed for all students who meet the following 3 criteria for Summer 2027 by May 24, 2027:
- The student is admitted to a degree program.
- The student is enrolled at least half time at 麻豆精品视频in credits eligible for Title IV funding (see聽麻豆精品视频Enrollment Requirements聽for definition of half time 鈥� exceptions made for Federal Pell Grant recipients).
- The student has an accepted Summer 2027 financial aid Financial Aid Offer other than Federal Work Study.
Students who do not qualify for postponement of their payment may be assessed a late payment fee, and potentially other penalties, if they do not make聽payment arrangements聽with the 麻豆精品视频Controller's Office within the published deadlines on the Fee Payment Information Bulletin. Details on fee payment deadlines are posted in the聽 Controller's Office Fee Payment Information Bulletin.
You are fee liable for any course you remain enrolled in after the course's drop/add period expires. With this in mind, it is important you formally withdraw from all courses you will not be attending prior to the end of the course's drop/add period. Circumstances such as failure to attend classes, failure to complete disbursement requirements, the cancellation of financial aid, or moving out of the dormitory, will NOT release you from fee liability.
