How will my financial aid be affected?

If you are a Direct Loan recipient, any period of enrollment that is less than half-time (6 credits) will begin your six-month grace period. Grace period is a time when you are not repaying your loan. Once the six-month grace period expires you will begin to repay your loan. Upon your return to Stockton and being enrolled at least half time (6 credits) your monthlyrepayments will be suspended. Your financial aid awards are based upon assumedfull time (12 credits)enrollment. If your enrollment status at Stockton falls below full-time (12 credits), your financial aid awards will be re-calculated based on your actual enrollment and you will be notified after the 100% drop/add period of the semester. Be sure to check the enrollment eligibility requirements for the financial aid programs that were awarded to you. Also, please review scholarship provisions as some require continuous enrollment to maintain eligibility. You can find this information on Stockton’s financial aid webpage.
