Understanding Your Financial Aid Award
The UNF Office of Student Financial Aid begins reviewing files for the upcoming academic year shortly after the FAFSA opens. Initial awards are based on the assumption of full-time enrollment for the fall and spring terms. The posting of an award does not guarantee your eligibility. After the add/drop period has ended, awards are disbursed to your UNF bill based on your actual enrollment. Aid programs that do not require full-time enrollment will prorate based on the number of credit hours in which you are enrolled each term.
Make sure you know the enrollment requirements for each of your award programs. Enrollment and eligibility requirements can be found in the 2024-25 UNF Financial Aid Guide or 2025-26 UNF Financial Aid Guide. Taking classes at another institution through concurrent/transient enrollment may affect how your financial aid awards disburse.
