Subject: IMPORTANT! Fall Semester Census Date!

Dear EIU Faculty and Staff:

Please make a concerted effort to have students register for Fall 2016 classes by the published Census Date of September 2, 2016.

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.  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.

The Census Date for Fall 2016 is September 2, 2016.
