Please keep in mind that most grant awards are disbursed based on the number of credit hours enrolled.  Any classes that are added or dropped from August 15 through September 8 may cause your grant awards to be adjusted and you may see multiple adjustments on your student account. 

If grants are posted to your account as a full-time student and you drop to less than full-time after your financial aid refund is issued, you will owe a portion of your refund back to the University.
