- You must be a degree-seeking student in an eligible program.
- You must enroll for at least six credit hours to qualify for most forms of financial aid.
- Your classes must count toward your degree program. Students must register for classes that apply toward the degree they are seeking at TSC. Federal Title IV aid will only consider classes that apply toward the TSC degree in determining the student’s enrollment status for financial aid.
- Enrollment status is determined by the number of hours you take.
- Full-time: 12 hours or more
- Three-quarter time: 9-11 hours
- Half-time: 6-8 hours
- Less than half-time: 6 hours or fewer
- Federal regulation will consider only 30 hours of remedial coursework in the enrollment status.
- You must maintain the Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid.
The actual enrollment status will be determined at the end of regular drop/add and will be one factor used in determining final award amounts. The estimated award may be revised if the final enrollment status is not full-time. Federal Pell Grants and other grants may be reduced or canceled; however, Federal Direct Student Loan eligibility will not be changed except in cases where the final enrollment status is less-than-half-time.
For the purpose of determining Federal Pell Grant award amounts, students must be enrolled in all countable hours by the end of the first (main session) drop/add period. All express sessions must be included in this enrollment status. In most cases, hours added after the first (main session) drop/add period cannot be included in determining enrollment status for Federal Pell grant. If you enroll after the regular drop/add date and are receiving your initial award for the academic year, your financial aid award package will be based on the number of eligible enrollment hours indicated at the time of the initial award.
