The maximum financial aid amount is allocated for enrollment as a full-time student (12 or more credits) and prorated if you are enrolled less than 12 credits. Some financial aid programs do not fund part-time enrollment. Your financial aid award amount may be adjusted based on your enrollment status as determined after Drop/Refund Deadline listed in the Academic Calendar in the online official catalog or, in the case of late awards, at the time the award is approved. You must meet all eligibility requirements at the time payment is made for your payment to be issued.
Only courses considered compliant (required) for your degree or certificate are included in your enrollment status for payment of financial aid. If a course is not compliant (required) for your degree, it will not be included in calculating your financial aid award and may not be covered with financial aid.
If you are enrolled in any flex start course(s):
- Your enrollment is reviewed at the end of the no show reporting period for each part of term, not just the full semester.
- Financial aid is disbursed only for the credits you are actively enrolled in for that part of term.
- If you add or drop classes in a later part of term, your aid may adjust based on the new enrollment level.
- You must meet enrollment requirements at the time each part of term begins to receive aid for those courses.
If a debt is owed to Valencia College (parking fine, VA deferments, etc.) the college reserves the right to apply any amounts due against any refund payable to the student account. For any remaining credit, the balance will be electronically deposited to your bank account in accordance with your selected refund preference.
