Financial Aid Adjustments Based on Your Enrolled Credit Hours

Answer

Your initial award package is calculated based upon the standard enrollment for your degree or certificate program, which is reflected on your award letter and in Self-Service under the View Scheduled Disbursements section of the "Other Services" section.

If you will NOT be enrolled in the standard enrollment level for your degree program reflected on your award letter, you must complete an Early Aid Adjustment Form and submit it to Student Financial Services indicating your actual level of planned enrollment at www.saic.edu/adjustingyouraidforenrollment. Once this form is submitted and reviewed, your financial aid awards will be adjusted on your student account. An email notification will be sent to the student’s SAIC email address once this is completed and the final adjusted award amounts can be viewed in Self-Service.

At the end of the add/drop period for each semester, your account will be reviewed and any additional adjustments to your financial aid awards will be made based upon your actual enrollment at that time should it differ from the planned enrollment indicated.

Financial aid will be disbursed to your account once aid has been adjusted, if necessary, and your financial aid file is complete.
