• The number of summer units will impact your aid eligibility.
• The actual cost of attendance (fees, books, etc.) will be used to determine eligibility.
• The Federal Direct Loan Program has annual limits on the amount a student can receive during an academic year. A full-time student may have exhausted program eligibility during the fall and spring semesters.
