Federal Direct Loan Changes 

Beginning with the 2026–2027 academic year, changes in federal legislation will affect federal Direct Student Loan disbursement amounts for students enrolled less than full-time.

A student’s loan disbursement amount will be based on their enrollment level at the time the loan is disbursed. °µÍøTV enrolled less than full-time may receive a reduced annual federal Direct Student Loan amount.

For financial aid purposes, full-time enrollment is:

• 12 units for undergraduate and teaching credential students
• 8 units for graduate students
• 6 units for doctoral students

°µÍøTV enrolled below half-time are not eligible to receive a federal Direct Student Loan disbursement.

°µÍøTV who need assistance adding or selecting courses should contact their advisor. °µÍøTV should also review their enrollment carefully before the start of the term, since changes in enrollment may affect their loan eligibility or disbursement amount.

Note: Parent PLUS Loans are not subject to enrollment-based proration. However, the student must be enrolled at least half-time for a Parent PLUS Loan to be disbursed.
