NOTE: For any semester/term in which you are enrolled after graduation, you will be charged the graduate student rate (not the undergraduate rate). This change will affect your federal aid; specifically, you will no longer be eligible for a Federal Pell Grant. Federal loans may be available if you meet the eligibility requirements.
