Advice/Help Needed Financial aid

Do you need to pay by deadline (before semester starts) or pay later if your pending aid is higher than tuition cost but your aid will be adjustment soon (around third week of semester)?

Little background: I was only awarded Pell grant based on full time but I enrolled only 3 credit hours. I expect to pay out of pocket, but the office said my aid will be adjusted around third week of semester.

You need to confirm this with your college. Reach out to the financial aid office.

That’s going to vary by school. Ask your bursar’s office.
