Financial Aid Census Date

Census refers to the day a snapshot is taken of a student’s registration for financial aid purposes. There is a census date for each semester.

If you increase your enrollment level after the census date, your aid will not be increased*. This means a student who is enrolled in 10 credits as of the census date, and who later adds a 2 credit hour class, will not have his/her grant aid adjusted upward to the full-time level. Rather, the aid will remain at the 3/4-time level.

Be sure you are fully registered by this date. Courses added after this date will not be considered for financial aid eligibility.

Please contact fin.aid@jdzruiran.com if you have any questions or want to ensure your financial aid is in place.
