Full time attendance is not required to receive financial aid. You may receive most types of financial aid with at least half time enrollment. Half time enrollment for an undergraduate is 6 credit hours and half time status for a graduate student is 3 credit hours of enrollment at the 500 level or above. Most financial aid awards are made assuming you will be full time. If you choose not to enroll full time for a semester, your financial aid award and disbursements will be adjusted.
The Financial Aid Office policy on loans is that we will not disburse loans to you unless you are enrolled full time or you have provided us with a Financial Aid Response Form that indicates your level of enrollment so that your cost of attendance can be adjusted to reflect your true enrollment. Students should complete this form as early as possible to insure that their loan disbursements occur in a timely manner.
In addition to the information available during Financial Aid Awareness Week, students may also receive assistance in filing their FAFSA on FAFSA Day. This will be held on Saturday, February 9th, 2008 throughout the state. Please visit College Foundation of North Carolina at www.cfnc.org for information on locations of the event, required documentation, and registration for FAFSA day.
Financial Aid Awareness Week to be held February 11-15, 2008 Over half of the students enrolled at UNCG are taking advantage of the financial aid opportunities available to help pay for the cost of a college education. However, many students think that they will never qualify for financial assistance, so they do not even bother applying. There are many opportunities for financial aid available to everyone, and we want to help you take advantage of them! Whether you currently have financial aid or are wondering if you would even qualify, Financial Aid Awareness Week may help provide some answers to your questions! The UNCG Financial Aid Office will have information tables set up in the Elliott University Center and the Cafeteria Atrium beginning February 11th where Financial Aid Office staff members will be available to answer your financial aid questions. Stop by our information tables:
