@twoinanddone That would certainly makes sense, but summer 2016 was included in my financial aid summary for the 2015-2016 financial year; I had two tabs on my 2015-2016 summary “spring 2016 and summer 2016”. The first summer session classes start on May 12th and that’s quite a bit before the June 30th cutoff of the financial aid year. I got the Pell Grant in summer 2016 because I didn’t attend USC for the fall 2015 semester. Their form for summer grant aid states that’s the only way you can get a summer Pell Grant - if you didn’t get one in the fall.
6 units is considered half-time for the summer and I’m enrolled in 8. I really want to go over with documents/print outs of their own website because it isn’t really clear. It’s like “Yeah, even though your summer classes started on May 12th, we’re counting them as part of the next financial aid year that starts July 1st 2017 even though that’s not what we did last year for your summer 2016 classes”.
