Pell Grant Lock Date

Students will now have more flexibility to register for accelerated courses and receive Federal Pell Grant if eligible. Chesapeake College will institute a student specific lock date based on the student's last class. Students will earn their aid as the course(s) begin but if they withdraw prior to the last class date or register for an accelerated session, all aid is reviewed and adjusted up or down accordingly. Students should plan their course selections carefully and attend class making every effort to pass the course before considering withdrawal. Students could owe balances by withdrawing due to the adjustment date that is specific to their course schedule for the term.

Students should contact the Financial Aid Office before making any schedule changes to discuss the impact of the change in enrollment.
