No! You can be enrolled part-time or full-time – but your financial aid will be adjusted if you are not full time. Here’s the official breakdown and how it affects your financial aid:
12 credits and above: full-time – receive 100% of financial award
9-11 credits: 3/4-time – receive 75% of financial reward
6-8 credits: 1/2-time – receive 50% of financial reward (NOTE: this is the MINIMUM level needed to maximize your financial aid!)
3-5 credits: less than half time – Most likely not eligible for financial aid (contact Financial Aid office to confirm)
WRONG! Your financial aid status is dependent on class attendance, successful completion of 67% of courses each semester, and maintaining a 2.00 cumulative grade point average. This simple worksheet will help keep you on track!
YES it is possible you will owe money! Please be advised that withdrawal from classes may affect your financial aid eligibility. If you switch a class to audit, drop all of your classes, unofficially withdraw, or fail all of your classes, you will most likely owe back financial aid money and receive a bill.
Maybe – if your financial aid package includes a credit, that amount can be used at the MxCC Bookstore! Check for this message on your my.Commnet.edu account: “You have been awarded financial aid in excess of tuition and fee charges by the Office of Financial Aid Services.” The amount “in excess” can be used in the bookstore – but only during certain dates at the start of each semester (check www.mxcc.edu for dates and information). Bring your schedule and a photo ID with you to the bookstore to access your funds.
The Financial Aid Services Office, located in Founder’s Hall, can be reached at (860) 343-5741 or by email Financial Aid Services Office. Fax number: (860) 344-3014.
