If you are planning to attend summer 2024 classes at UACCM, you should be aware of a few things concerning financial aid you could receive in the summer. If you are eligible for Pell and have received Pell full-time in the fall 2023 and spring 2024 semesters, you will need to take at least 6 hours during the summer to receive additional Pell funds.  These 6 hours can be a mix of the summer terms (Intersession, Summer 1 only, Summer 2 only or Extended Summer), but all classes must be needed for graduation within your chosen degree plan.  If you’ve not yet applied for federal aid this year, it’s not too late.  Just go to studentaid.gov/fafsa and complete the 2023-2024 FAFSA.  If you would like to take out a federal loan in the summer, that will require a 23-24 Student Loan Application .  If you have already borrowed funds in the fall 2023 and spring 2024 semesters, please know there are annual limits to your borrowing.  Please feel free to talk to the Finan...
