Part-Time Enrollment Adjustment

Process

Our office initially awards financial aid based on the assumption that you will be attending UofL full-time during the fall and spring terms. Full-time status is defined as at least 12 credit hours for undergraduates and at least 9 credit hours for graduate students during the fall and spring terms.

After the census date for the fall and spring terms, awards are reviewed for students who are enrolled less than full-time. The census date is the last day of drop/add, as listed on the University’s academic calendar on the Registrar’s Office website.

If you need to request an adjustment for part-time enrollment, please complete the Part-time Aid Adjustment Request form for the applicable term. This form is typically available four to five weeks before the start of the fall and spring terms. You will need to submit this form each fall and spring term in which you are enrolled less than full-time.

To access the Part-Time Aid Adjustment Request form:

• Log in to your ULink account
• On the 'Student Homepage', select the 'Financial Aid' tile
• On the left-hand menu, select 'Part-time Aid Adjustment Req'

If you are enrolled less than full-time and do not submit the Part-Time Aid Adjustment Request form, your financial aid will not be reviewed for potential adjustments or disbursement until after the deadline to drop courses and receive a 100% tuition refund for regular courses. To be eligible for federal loans and most other types of financial aid, you must be enrolled at least half-time. Half-time enrollment is defined as 6 credit hours for undergraduate students and 4.5 credit hours for graduate or professional students during the fall and spring terms.
