Pondering dropping credits?

Dropping credits may have the following implications on current financial aid and aid eligibility:

1. All students receiving Federal Pell Grants dropping credits under full-time or reducing part-time enrollment will have their award value adjusted to their current credit load.

2. Satisfactory academic progress may be affected in future years if students taking less than 12 credits do not complete the courses for which they originally registered.

The course schedule for Summer Sessions and Fall 1998 is available on the Registrar's home page: http://www.psu.edu/registrar.
