Dear EIU Students:
Please be aware that the Census Date for Spring 2011 is January 24, 2011.
FINANCIAL AID CENSUS DATE POLICY
In accordance with federal regulations, the Office of Financial Aid will recalculate federal, state, and institutional student aid awards based on the enrollment status as of the published Census Date (Count Day) by the Office of the Registrar, which is typically the end of the 10th day of class for both Fall and Spring terms. (The Census Date for Summer enrollment will vary based on the length of the course(s) taken. Refer to the Academic Calendar for those dates and/or see below for upcoming terms.) Generally, this policy typically coincides with the end of the drop/add period for each semester. All federal, state, and institutional aid will be based upon the Census Date enrollment status. (State and institutional aid will NOT be adjusted upward or downward throughout the semester NOR will these types of aid be calculated based on Billed Hours.)
The Census Date for Spring 2011 is January 24, 2011.
