<p>Hi guys, I'm freaking out at the moment because of a careless mistake I made on my financial aid form for my school.</p>
<p>I submitted my fafsa on time and received full fin aid for fall quarter ( I attend a UC). I was set on graduating/completing my degree by the end of fall quarter, however I was forced to drop a class and decided to finish up my classes in the winter. However, I just realized that I told the school that I will only be attending fall and not winter and spring. Hence my fin account says that there is going to be $0 dispersed for winter. Do you think that the fin-aid office can still disperse funds to my account?</p>
<p>Yes, most likely. However, you must be enrolled at least half time (with the exception of Pell, if you qualify, which will pay at a prorated amount based on attendance). In addition, you may have received more than 1/2 of your annual loan eligibility in fall based on the fact you were going to graduate at the end of the term (of course, you also may have received less than half, due to the requirement to prorate loan eligibility for your last term of student if it occurs in the first term of the academic year - sometimes this results in more than 1/2 annual award, sometimes less). In other words, your aid officer will need to calculate your eligibility. The office is probably closed until after January 1st, though. Talk to someone in the office as soon as you can in order to get everything straightened out.</p>
