Similar to the Pell grant, students will now be offered the maximum amount of Federal Direct Loan funding per year based on full-time enrollment. See below for an enrollment guide detailing the number of credits in which a student must be enrolled/academically engaged to be considered full-time for financial aid purposes
With the new Federal Direct Loan SOR requirement, full-time students will receive the full amount of their annual loan offer.

Instead, the college will calculate the amount of loan funding the student is eligible to receive based on the number of credits in which they are enrolled.
