Award Letter Key.
All awards listed in the award letter are based on full-time enrollment (12 or more units). If you are enrolled in less than 12 units, your awards will be adjusted.
Example: if your Federal Pell Grant indicates $6495 for the award year, and you are enrolled in only 9 units (3/4 status), you will actually receive $4871 for the year (one year is Fall and/or Spring semesters).
During the Fall and/or Spring semester, if you change your enrollment status before the census date (see Academic Calendar), your award will be adjusted accordingly.
In order to receive financial aid for late starting classes, you should be registered for these classes before the census date (see Academic Calendar). If you do not begin all of your classes your financial aid may be recalculated.
Full Time = 12+ units; ¾ Time = 9 to 11.5 units; ½ Time = 6 to 8.5 units; less than ½ Time
