Pell Grant recipients may need to repay money if not attentive to the policies described below!
The amount of your Pell Grant will vary according to the number of credits in which you enroll. Adjustments you make to your schedule may impact the amount of your Pell Grant award. This means that the amount of your Pell Grant could be decreased if you drop courses. You will be responsible for repayments resulting from any decrease to your Pell Grant award. In order to avoid an unexpected Pell Grant repayment, Please be aware of the following policies:
Your Pell Grant enrollment is frozen on the 10th day of the semester. February 2nd at 11:59 p.m.
Any classes added after February 2nd will not count towards determining your Pell Grant eligibility.
This applies to internships, workshops, and other classes, even if the University allows you to add these credits after February 2nd.
Attendance in all classes.
Your Pell Grant award is based on the assumption that you attend all of your enrolled classes.
If you do not attend a class, or you drop a class before it starts, your Pell Grant award will be recalculated.
Your student account on BroncoWeb will reflect any Pell Grant reduction that occurs for these reasons, but it may take up to three days for the adjustment.
Enrollment Adjustments between now and February 2nd.
If you add or drop class after your Pell Grant has disbursed, your student account will reflect any resulting changes to your Pell Grant award within three business days.
Try to add and drop classes during the same session on BroncoWeb, if possible.
Whenever possible, ADD a class before you drop another class. (Dropping a class may cause your Pell Grant award to decrease.)
Following these steps will help you avoid receiving a late fee penalty on termporary unpaid balances created by a Pell Grant decrease.
