While some types of financial aid are only available to full-time students, many types of financial aid may be utilized by students who attend part-time. Full-time is considered 12 or more credits per semester.
If you are already registered for classes and have already received your financial aid package notification, you can see how your enrollment will affect your financial aid. To determine if your financial aid will be recalculated based on your enrollment status, as well as whether you will owe a balance, you can check the “Account Inquiry” on the SIS Student Center.
- Log in to MyBRCC
- Select the “SIS” tile
- Select the ”My Student Information” tile
- Under “Finances,” click “Account Inquiry”
- Click the amber-colored bar at the bottom of the screen to recalculate your aid based on your current enrollment status
