*Federal Pell Grant recipients: Starting in the 2024-25 academic year, as enrollment hours decrease, the Pell Grant award is calculated using enrollment hours as a percentage of 12 hours. DePaul uses a financial aid census date (referred to as the Pell census date) for purposes of determining your term enrollment status for Federal Pell disbursement each term. The Pell census date is the day after the last day to drop classes with no penalty, as published on the academic calendar. Your enrollment status for Pell disbursement will be based on your official enrollment on this date.
**Illinois State Monetary Award Program (MAP) Grant recipients: DePaul uses a census date to determine enrollment status for State of IL MAP Grant (Est) disbursement each term. The census date is the last day to drop classes with no penalty, as published on the academic calendar. Your enrollment status for State of IL MAP Grant (Est) disbursement will be based on your official enrollment on this date. Course changes that result in credit hour changes may impact your financial aid. If your financial aid is adjusted, it will be reflected on your ePay/eBill section of Campus Connect.
***Federal Work-Study recipients: Federal Work-Study funds are not disbursed to your university account. You receive Federal Work-Study funds through either direct deposit or paycheck based on hours worked in a qualified on-campus job.
