The fixed enrollment date for the Spring 2018 semester is Monday, January 29, 2018.  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 January 29, 2018, 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 13, 2018.

A full description of the Fixed Enrollment policy can be found at https://financialaid.uconn.edu/enrollment/.

Annually, the Office of Student Financial Aid Services (OSFAS) is required to evaluate all students for compliance with the University SAP policy. As such, evaluates for all students will take place on May 21, 2019. Students who do not meet the parameters outlined in the SAP policy may be subject to cancellation of their 2019-2020 financial aid packages as a result of this evaluation. Students with financial aid awards for the summer 2019 term may also have undisbursed awards adjusted or cancelled as a result of the SAP evaluation.

Students who do not meet the SAP standards will have the option to submit a SAP Appeal. The appeal deadline is June 1, 2019. Students should be aware that in order for their appeal to be considered, it must be submitted by the published deadline. No late appeals will be reviewed.
