2008-09 Disbursement Policies and Procedures

Freeze Dates

Make sure your enrollment is correct by the freeze date to ensure that you will receive all of your aid. You can check your enrollment by logging into your PAWS account.
Pell grants are calculated based upon enrollment as of the census or "freeze date" for financial aid.
The freeze date for students who enroll in 100% of their classes after the "freeze date" and all of their classes are late-starting will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Number of enrolled weeks and credit hours will be combined for compressed (part of term) classes as long as all enrollments show up as of the "freeze date."

Estimating Pell Grant Disbursement Amounts

The award amounts on your PAWS account is for attendance for at least 15 weeks during the term and 12 credit hours
Pell will be prorated according to the actual number of weeks and credit hours in which you are enrolled
Pell is not recalculated for hours added or dropped after the freeze dates.

Number of Credit Hours	Enrollment Status	Approximate Portion of Term Pell
12 + hours	Full-time	100%
9-11 hours	Three Quarter	75%
6-8 hours	Half-time	50%
1-5 hours	Less than half time	25%
If your attendance is less than 15 weeks you will take the "approximate portion of term pell" dollar amount divided by 15 and then multiply it by the number of weeks of attendance.
