However, I think you still need to pay the enrollment fee upfront out of pocket. 6 credits per semester or 6-month period is half-time; 12 credits per semester or 6-month period is full-time. 6 credits will only get you a quarter of your annual financial aid award. Are you using loans and grants? Are you receiving anything from the military?
I was aware of that. That's why I have two classes planned for spring and two classes planned for summer. The enrollment fee was paid upfront but the way it was explained to me is that it is still factored into the financial aid award. I realize I will only receive a prorated amount of my financial award. FA has already been calculated. What is not covered by PELL and the COSC Out of State Fee Award, I'm covering with subsidized loans and a scholarship.
Don't miss out on something great just because it might also be difficult.
