The Registrar's Office does not consider the combined enrollment for reporting purposes. Therefore a student taking 3 credits in the winterim and 3 credits in the spring will be reported as less than half time and will no longer be eligible for an automatic in-school deferment for loans. However, students in this situation may request that the Office of Financial Aid complete a deferment request form (the student must obtain the form from the loan servicer).
Bookstore Advance
The office of financial aid does not advance bookstore money for the winterim.
Undergraduate Students
In order to maintain eligibility for institutional aid, students must enroll in at least 12 credits in the spring semester alone. Additional credits may be added for winterim enrollment, but students cannot combine winter and spring credits to achieve full time enrollment and receive institutional funds.
Example: 3 credits in winterim and 9 credits in the spring would be ineligible for institutional aid.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
A student鈥檚 performance in winterim will be included in the satisfactory academic progress calculation.
Study Abroad
Students completing a short-time study abroad in the winterim must fill out a Study Abroad Form to request an increase in cost of attendance for additional loans.
