Enrollment Status

Enrollment status is the number of units upon which your financial aid award is based. This status is determined when your initial award is made. Your enrollment status is verified on census day (the third Monday of the semester) and adjustments are made to your award for the academic year depending upon the number of units in which you are enrolled. Classes added after the enrollment status has been established will not result in an award being revised upward. Dropping classes may result in your award being revised downward or being canceled.

In establishing eligibility for financial aid, enrollment status is determined as follows:
 

Consortium Agreement

Units taken concurrently at Grossmont College and Cuyamaca College may be accepted for financial aid purposes if a student has filed a consortium agree­ment.  A student must apply for financial aid and file a consortium agreement at the college where he/she has declared a major, and must be enrolled in all units by census day.  The courses listed on the agreement must also be required for the student’s educational objective.  Students who drop to less than six units at the institution granting the consortium agreement will have the consortium agreement cancelled and their aid may also be cancelled.  Consortium agreements should be submitted before the student's census day and no later than the student’s last day of enrollment for the term in which the consortium agreement will be applied.  Consortium agreements must be filed every semester.

Beginning Summer 2010, students may apply for a Consortium Agreement if enrolled in a minimum of 6 overall units combined at both institutions.  You must maintain enrollment in at least one course at Grossmont College or the Consortium Agreement will be cancelled.  You must submit a summer Consortium Agreement to the Financial Aid Office by July 20, 2010.  This is the date financial aid is using as your Census Day for summer.
