Pell Recalculation Policy

Each term, the financial aid office will set a Pell Recalculation Date to coincide with the full term and part of term B no show deadlines. Any changes to enrollment after this date will not change a student's calculated Pell award.

Please keep in mind that if a student is registered for a part of term B course and withdraws from courses that are Full term or part of term A, their Federal Pell Grant will be adjusted to no longer fund the withdrawn course. Additionally, if a student adds a part of term B course, Pell will be adjusted to cover the additional course.

Exceptions to this policy include when a student adds a class for the first time that semester (i.e. adds a mini-session class that starts later in the term as their initial enrollment), when a student fails to begin attendance in a class, or when the college receives an initial FAFSA for the student. In these cases, Pell must be recalculated.

This only applies to Pell funds.
