New for Summer 2019 Financial Aid

If you plan to take courses at UConn during the 2019 summer session and wish to be considered for financial aid, you must:

  • Have completed a 2018-2019 FAFSA

The Office of Student Financial Aid Services (OSFAS) expects to begin awarding financial aid for summer in April.  Please be aware that financial aid for the summer is limited, and is based on your remaining annual eligibility of Federal Pell Grant and Federal Direct Student Loan for the 2018-2019 Award Year.  Please note that other financing options, such as Federal Plus and Alternative loans are also available for the Summer.  Details can be found on our website at http://financialaid.uconn.edu/

Finalize Spring 2019 Enrollment before the Tenth Day of Class

December 26, 2018

The fixed enrollment date for the Spring 2019 semester is Monday, February 4, 2019.  The tenth day of classes is the last day on which you are able to add/drop via the Student Administration System. The amount of your financial aid awards and/or University scholarship for the semester will be based on the number of credits you are enrolled in on that date. If you drop credits during the add/drop period, you may be required to repay some or all of your aid that was disbursed to you if, as of the fixed enrollment date, you no longer meet the enrollment requirements for the types of aid you have been awarded.

If your enrollment is not finalized by February 4, 2019 you will be notified by the Office of Student Financial Aid Services (OSFAS). If your spring semester registration was finalized AFTER the tenth day of classes you may submit a Financial Aid Fixed Enrollment (Day 10) Appeal Form to request reinstatement of your financial aid package (on a funds-available basis). Appeals must be received by the OSFAS no later than February 19th, 2019.
