Award Notification

Award notifications are mailed to first time UCF students after March 15th, while email award notifications are sent to continuing students. Initial awards may be amended due to factors such as contingent admission status, less than minimum hours enrolled, lack of academic progress, changes needed due to verification, incomplete files, additional resources, etc.

Student awards will be based upon the student’s financial need, the amount of available funds, the number of UCF students who qualify for aid, and the date the student completes the application process. The amounts listed on the award notifications are estimates based on full-time enrollment. For purposes of financial aid, enrollment is based solely on classes that count toward degree completion. If a class is not required to earn a degree, then the hours of that class are not used to calculate a student’s enrollment.

Admission to UCF must be finalized with no contingencies. Students must be classified as degree-seeking.

Verification must be completed. Students must meet the Standards for Satisfactory Academic Progress. If all eligibility is met, financial aid funds may be disbursed.

It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of minimal hourly requirements for each program, which can be found on the Program Eligibility Charts on the Web site. When requirements are no longer met, awards will be adjusted as necessary and will appear on myUCF. All awards are subject to change.
