Year-round eligibility for Pell

The U.S. Department of Education has implemented year-round Pell for eligible students. Students must be enrolled at least half-time (6 credits for undergraduates). Eligible students can receive Pell in the fall, spring, and summer terms without the summer portion reduced IF the student has 450% or more of remaining Pell Grant eligibility. If the student has less than 500% of remaining Pell Grant eligibility, the amount of Pell used by the student in fall and/or spring terms will directly reduce the amount of Pell Grant available to the student in the summer term. Note: students are limited to 600% (12 semesters) of Pell Grant eligibility.
