WVU Summer Process
To receive financial aid for summer classes you must follow complete the current academic year FAFSA, and notify the financial aid office when you are registered for summer classes.
Summer financial aid is based on the current academic year. If you have no funding available through the William D. Ford Federal Direct Subsidized and/or Unsubsidized Loan Program you may be eligible for a Federal Direct Graduate PLUS or alternative loan. You must be registered for at least half time (3 hours is considered half time in summer school) to receive federal loans. Also, aid will not disburse until your class begins. For example, if your class starts on July 1, we will not be able to disburse financial aid until July 1st. If you are not registered for at least 3 hours, there are a few private loan companies that will process loans for a student that is enrolled for less than half time.
