For financial aid purposes, summer sessions are considered a trailer the last term of the 2013-2014 academic year. Because summer sessions are considered a trailer, aid received during the 2013-2014 academic year will be considered in determining remaining financial aid eligibility for the 2014 summer session terms. Because grant funds are extremely limited for summer sessions, financial aid is usually in the form of student and/or parent loans. Students who have already borrowed their maximum annual or aggregate Federal Direct Student Loan limits prior to summer 2014 are ineligible to receive a Federal Direct Student Loan for the 2014 summer session terms.
Hours Completed 0-29 30-59 60-and above Annual Loan Limit Undergrad Dependent $5,500 $6,500 $7,500 Annual Loan Limit

Annual Loan Limit Graduate $20,500

$9,500 $10,500 $12,500

To be eligible to receive financial aid for summer sessions:

You must be making satisfactory academic progress (SAP) in accordance with University policy. Understand that if your ENROLLMENT IS FOR MORE THAN ONE TERM, one-half of the loan proceeds are disbursed per term.
