Enrollment Status

Each type of aid requires main campus, day program students to enroll for a certain number of credit hours per semester. Most federal aid requires at least half-time status (six credit hours); state, institutional and private aid requires full-time enrollment (a minimum of 12 credit hours).

All Trine University Institutional Awards are created for 12-18 credit hours. Schedule overloads, or 19 or more credit hours and additional course fees, are the responsibility of the student.

Maintaining Eligibility

Currently enrolled students are required to maintain the appropriate grade point average for the award. Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress by completing the required number of credit hours each academic year (see the Trine University Student Handbook) and reapply for aid in the spring for the next academic year.
