Course in Program Of Study (手机一族)
手机一族 is a requirement that states only courses that 是 part of your degree plan or certificate can count towards your total enrolled hours for receiving financial aid. 由于这个要求, if you take courses that 不 a part of your official degree plan, it will result in receiving less or no financial aid for your courses.

学生' enrollment status for financial aid will be based only on 手机一族 hours. 你的 enrollment status will determine how much of your award will be paid 给你 (i.e. whether you 是 meeting minimum enrollment requirements or whether proration is required).
你的 出勤费用(COA) is initially calculated based on the expectation of full-time enrollment. 你的 COA will re-calculate after a semester has started based only on your total 手机一族 hours. This could result in a reduced COA than was originally calculated if the amount of 手机一族 hours is not full-time.
An overall reduction of Federal, 状态, or Institutional aid may be necessary after COA is recalculated if the total amount of financial aid awarded exceeds your COA.
You can find your assigned academic advisor on your ace account or on the 全球定位系统(GPS) portal.
No, an override approved by an academic advisor will count only towards that specific course and section. If you change your class or it is dropped, you will need to contact your academic advisor to have an override added again.
You should always reference your official degree plan and course catalog as to what courses count toward their degree. For specific questions about whether a course counts toward your degree, contact your academic advisor.

| 12个小时 | 9 - 11个小时 | 6 - 8小时 | 1 - 5个小时 |
按比例分配
Financial aid is typically awarded based upon the expectation of full-time enrollment. Certain financial aid awards will be prorated, or have a percent based recalculation, if you do not enroll full-time in 手机一族 hours. These recalculations will occur within each part-of-term that you attend in a semester.
| 全职 | 3/4的时间 | 半场 | 小于半场 |

Parts-of-Term
The various course options offered at Alamo based on their duration and start date in a semester 是 known as 'Parts-of-term'. Ex. 16-week, Flex I, Start II, Flex II, Summer I, Summer II terms, etc.
As there 是 many start dates in a semester, you must be attending - not just registered, for your enrollment to count towards the amount of financial aid that is paid 给你. 详见下文.
参加时间
All financial aid pays out based on "参加时间”, or the classes you 是 actively going to for each part-of-term.
This means that your offered financial aid for a semester will only pay out 100% at the same time if all the classes you 是 actively going to sh是 the same start date and disbursement date. If your registered classes 是 spread out between parts-of-term with different start dates and disbursement dates, your financial aid will be split up and prorated.
人口普查日期
Census is the date on which enrollment is officially confirmed for a part-of-term. All hours 是 considered "locked" on this date for financial aid disbursement purposes.
For a list of census dates for each part-of-term, review the 校历 here:
招生常见问题
示例# 1: If you 是 enrolled full time in Fall (12+ credit hours) and begin 9 credit hours of courses during a 16-week part-of-term, on the 16-week disbursement date your disbursement will be prorated to 75% of your eligible financial aid. Once you begin 3 credit hours of a Flex II part-of-term, on the Flex II disbursement date, you will receive the remaining 25% of your eligible financial aid.
例# 2: If you 是 enrolled full time (12+ credit hours) and begin all classes during Flex I or 16-week sessions, you will receive 100% of the eligible financial aid for which you qualify all on the same date. If you add additional classes, no adjustments will be made 给你r financial aid since you've already received your maximum disbursement.
We want you to be aw是 that if you drop a course before the census date of any part of term for which you 是 enrolled, your financial aid calculation will also reflect those changes. This could result in a decrease of your financial aid.
