Pell Recalculation Dates (PRD)
Federal Pell Grant awards are recalculated each semester to adjust for any changes in a student’s enrollment status after the initial disbursement. The final award amount is based on the number of units enrolled by the recalculation freeze date.
If students keep the same enrollment status, they won't owe any repayment. But if they drop or withdraw from classes, they may have to repay any overpayment. Additionally, classes that begin after the recalculation date are not financial aid eligible and will not count toward financial aid calculations.
Fall 2024 PRD: October 28, 2024
Spring 2025 PRD: April 21, 2025
