<p>Hey guys. During Winter quarter of 13, am enrolled in 3 classes, but since one is a lab, it totals to 11 units only. Can I just enroll in another course for the time being, and drop it after the census date, without any ill effects? I have like 40 unit surplus with regards to the ECP at the moment too.</p>
<p>i think the census date for when the financial aid office checks if you’re enrolled full time is friday of week 4. it’s also the last day where you can drop classes without it being marked in your transcript. if you’re on financial aid and you drop classes before the end of week 4, you most likely will have to refund some of your aid.</p>
<p>anyone else have any experience with this?</p>
<p>When are we getting our financial aid checks again? I’m hearing it’s on the 1st of January but I believe winter fees are due sometime this month?</p>
<p>Here is what it says on the ucla financial aid page. Third week end is the census date. Has anyone done this purposefully and gone by unscathed?</p>
<p>How do I maintain my eligibility for aid?</p>
<p>In order to maintain your eligibility for aid you must adhere to the quarterly unit requirements. The Financial Aid Office checks your units on the census date at the end of third week of classes. Enrollment below half-time on that date will result in cancellation of your aid and billing for funds disbursed. Some undergraduate awards (Federal Pell Grant and Cal Grant) require enrollment in 12 units to maintain your eligibility. Enrollment below 12 units on the census date will result in reduction of those awards. NOTE: Once aid is reduced/canceled it will not be reinstated automatically. If your unit count increases after the census date you must contact the Financial Aid Office to reinstate your CAL Grant. Federal Pell Grant will not be reinstated if your unit count increases after the census date.</p>
<p>In addition to meeting the quarterly unit requirements you are also required to meet cumulative Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards in order to maintain your eligibility for aid. To find out more about SAP, take a look at the Satisfactory Academic Progress Guide.</p>
