Academic Start Dates
- Students receiving Federal Student Aid (FSA) must follow an academic calendar consisting of an ‘Academic Year’ and two ‘Academic Semesters’
- For Financial Aid purposes:
- The academic year is defined as 32 weeks of instructional time
- The academic semester is defined as 16 weeks of instructional time
- Many courses are 8 weeks long, allowing students to take 2 courses consecutively (one after another) in one semester vs. simultaneously (at the same time). Both courses, however, must fit within the 16-week semester
- All courses taken must fit within the start and end dates of the ‘Academic Semester’. See sample academic year below
- Once you have selected your academic start date, your Academic Year and Semesters are locked. Registrations will be limited to your selected Academic Year and Semesters
- Students are funded for only what they register for prior to the semester start date (at least 1 week prior.) Students adding courses to that semester after that deadline will lose some funding. So even if you are taking two, 8-week sessions, you must register for both sessions at least 1 week prior to the first session start date
- See Enrollment Status to understand the minimum course credits needed to receive Federal Student Aid
