Summer semester financial aid eligibility will be determined after you register for classes. A financial aid offer will be sent to your UH email. After initially registering, please notify the Financial Aid Office of any changes in enrollment.
Tips for Determining Summer Financial Aid Eligibility
- Financial aid for the Summer semester is limited to Federal aid – Pell Grant and Federal Direct Loans.
- If you are considering loans for Summer semester, you need to be enrolled in at least 6 credit hours during the Summer semester. If you received the annual maximum loan limits over the previous Fall and Spring semesters, you will not be eligible for Summer semester student loans.
Annual loan limits are stated below:
- Dependent students – $5500-Freshman, $6500-Sophomore
- Independent students – $9500-Freshman, $10500-Sophomore
Summer Financial Aid Process
- You must register for Summer semester classes prior to being offered Summer semester financial aid.
- It's highly recommended that you register for all of your summer classes by the beginning of the first session of Summer semester. There is a chance that financial aid will not cover late registered courses.
- Your spring semester grades may be reviewed prior to release of your summer semester financial aid funds.
- If you are placed on financial aid suspension, your summer financial aid will be canceled and you would be responsible for paying for tuition and fees out of pocket, or withdrawing from your classes prior to the deadline to withdraw to receive a 100% refund. Please note: There is an appeal process and you may have the opportunity to ask that your financial aid be reinstated for the summer semester.
- If there is any change to your schedule, you must notify the Financial Aid Office immediately. Your financial aid eligibility may change and you may owe money.
