Things to keep in mind:

• Grants, scholarships, and "awards" are automatically accepted on your behalf in My Akron.
• Pell Grants and Ohio College Opportunity Grants (OCOG) shown in My Akron are based on full-time enrollment, which is 12+ credits for undergraduate students. If your enrollment is less than full-time, these grants will automatically pro-rate at the time of disbursement to match your enrollment.
• You cannot accept/decline/reduce awards that are shown in My Akron as estimates.
• OCOG estimates will be finalized when eligibility information is received from the State of Ohio. This typically occurs in the few weeks before the first day of classes.
• PLUS/GradPLUS/Private Education loan estimates require additional steps.
• You must be enrolled at least half-time in order to be eligible for Federal loans (subsidized, unsubsidized, PLUS, and/or GradPLUS). Half-time enrollment is six credits for undergraduate students; five credits for graduate/law students. If you are not enrolled at least half-time 10 days before the start of the semester, these loans will be removed from your financial aid package for the semester.
