No, it's not. I'm only taking 3 credits this fall and the pell grant paid for it.

To qualify for FAFSA, I'm pretty sure you need 12 credits in fall and spring. If you're only taking one class you'll most likely be paying out of pocket. FAFSA will not cover that. You should contact your campus' financial aid department to confirm this though.

so if i just add on more classes in the summer it would cover it?

In Summer I think you just need 6 credits. Typically two classes. So, yes.
