Pell grant and the 16 credits

[dfrecore]

12 credits is full-time.  100% of Pell Grant.

9 credits = 75% of Pell Grant award
6 credits = 50% of Pell Grant award

I just talk to tesu and the financial aid office said actually that 6 is full time. They said that according to the federal guidelines it is 12 credits correct. The difference is that because tesu is 12 week terms by taking 2 terms back to back like the July term and the October term technically you are taking 12 credits if you take 6 each term and thus I will receive my full amount. I also check my account balance and it checks out all right.

You know, I can't remember anyone on this forum explaining this - and it makes sense.  I've always thought that we were comparing apples-to-oranges when looking at the Pell for TESU because of the term length, and I was right.

Also, in looking at TESU's website, only Online and Guided Study counts for enrollment for Pell.  So if you're wanting to take an e-Pack, even though it costs the same, it won't work.
