Financial Aid Census Policy
Rather than adjust financial aid packages each time a student changes his or her course load, WWU has chosen to use the 10th day of the quarter as a census date. Students who are enrolled at the end of the 10th day of the quarter are awarded financial aid based on the number of credit hours for which they are registered on that date. Students who are not enrolled on the 10th day:
Receive reduced (or no) financial aid awards if the students dropped all
their classes before the 11th day of the quarter. (Their aid is returned to its original sources, in accordance with the Financial Aid Refund and Repayment Policy printed in this bulletin.)
Receive aid based on the number of credit hours for which they register after the 10th day of the quarter.
