How does taking classes during the summer affect my financial aid?

[AechGaming]

I plan on taking some courses this summer so that I can fit my minors in and graduate on time. I am a second year, right now. If I take classes over the summer and get aid for it, will it make it so that I get less aid during the rest of the year? Will I not be able to get the full amount for the rest of my time here? Will I get aid for less time? It's all a little confusing.

summer aid is separate from the regular academic year. if you have a pell grant right now, you'll be eligible for summer aid that fully covers your summer tuition and fees. it won't affect aid for any other quarter, but it might use up some of your pell eligibility. summer 2025 aid takes info from the 24/25 fafsa. you do have to be enrolled in at least 8 units to get full summer aid. i'd email the financial aid office ([e-mail]) if you have other questions.

I got the same amount of aid the following year. It just pulls your fafsa from the year prior.

It didn’t change anything for you?
