Pell Recalculation Policy

The Pell Recalculation Policy only applies to Undergraduate students eligible to receive the Federal Pell Grant.

Undergraduate students eligible for the Federal Pell Grant who make enrollment changes during the semester may be subject to Pell Recalculation which requires an adjustment to the Federal Pell Grant based on the change in the student's enrollment.

The Pell Recalculation Dates for each semester are determined based on the dates and deadlines for each session within the semester; including the 15-week session, the two-seven week sessions, the three-five week sessions and any dynamically dated sessions as well.
