Students must be enrolled at least half time (minimum of six (6) credits) for the summer term to be eligible for additional Pell. Student Financial Resources and Scholarships (SFRS) will automatically award Pell for summer 2018 if a student is eligible to receive the funds. Students that drop below six (6) credits due to withdrawals, cancellations, or non-attendance will no longer be eligible for the additional Pell funds and will be responsible for any charges incurred.
