Subject: IMPORTANT! Fall Semester Census Date!
Dear EIU Faculty and Staff:
Please make a concerted effort to have students register for Spring 2018 classes by the published Census Date of Friday, August 31, 2018.
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 2018 is August 31, 2018.
