Although some types of aid will be available, individual aid eligibility depends on several factors. Most programs have annual limits on the amount a student can receive during one academic year. A full time student may have exhausted program eligibility during fall and spring by using full eligibility during fall and spring terms. The number of summer units will impact aid eligibility.
Some programs require full time enrollment.
Other types have limits that are proportionate to full time. The enrollment timeframe may impact students. In summer, instruction must begin before aid disburses. If a student takes five units in the first five weeks and five in the second, any aid program requiring at least half time units will not disburse during the first five weeks. Aid will only disburse after classes have begun in the second five weeks because that will be the first time with the minimum number of units.
