Aid Eligibility

• Financial Aid Academic Progress
• To remain eligible for aid students are responsible for class participation and achieving academic progress by completing all enrolled courses with passing grades. Course drops, withdrawals and failed classes can cause a reduction in aid for the term and loss of future aid.

• Disbursement on Attending Hours
• Aid will disburse based on hours you are actually attending at the time eligibility for disbursement is reviewed. During the summer - sessions start throughout the summer. It is at the point you are attending at least half-time hours that aid will disburse to your student account.

• Understanding Summer Aid
• Most aid programs do not increase in dollars to accommodate attending three terms during the academic year (summer, fall, spring). The Federal Stafford Loan annual limits remain the same; the loan would be divided into three terms (summer, fall, spring) and not the standard academic year of fall – spring.  As a result of a change in federal regulations, Law students now also have an opportunity to borrow Grad/ PLUS Loans.  Law students may borrow up to the total estimated cost of attendance less any other financial aid/resources received to accommodate attending three terms during the academic year.The application for the Grad PLUS Loan is available at the Law Financial Aid Office. Law students not eligible for federal financial aid may find it necessary to borrow loan funds through alternative loan sources.  For information about alternative loans, please visit this page.
