When planning your class schedule each semester, it is important to know how many credits you will need to take in order to remain eligible for your financial aid award. If you attend less than full-time during any term, your cost of attendance and financial aid award amounts will be adjusted. This could result in reduction or removal of loans or other financial aid. Below are the types of aid that require a specific number of credits per semester. If you do not see your aid type, contact the Financial Aid office at (855) 874-6682 or email finaid@reynolds.edu.
