For all Pell Grant eligible students who have met Satisfactory Academic Progress, completed their files, been awarded and enrolled in courses that begin at the start of term, the first 25% Pell Grant refund (scheduled the week prior to start of the term) is for books and supplies. The 2nd 25% refund for these courses would be scheduled after census (refer to chart below). Late start courses would be included in the 2nd 50% refund, after the freeze date for the term.
