Credit Loads As expected with the transition to semesters, the credit loads for undergraduate and graduate students are down from 1998 levels. The undergraduate mean credit loads declined from 13.9 in 1998 to 13.2 in 1999. Graduate mean credit loads declined from 8.3 in 1998 to 7.9 in 1999. The mean credit load for professional students rose from 19.0 to 19.2. Virtually all aid for spring semester has been disbursed except for late registrants, some multi- career students, and some receiving PLUS loans.
Staff reports that the huge problems are solved and they are now dealing with the smaller ones.
Students who have not received their spring semester aid should call Office for Scholarships and Finanical Aid, 624-1665. The PeopleSoft module is still far from complete. Staff estimates that 50 percent of functionality has yet to be installed. As a result, they have had to do a lot ofr manual processing and work-arounds. Some relief will come with the upgrade to PeopleSoft Version 7.6 this month.
