Chapter 22 – Reduced Course Load: UTA Scholarships
Undergraduate Students
Students whose disability substantially limits their ability to complete a full-time load may be eligible for a reduced courseload. If approved for this accommodation, a student would be considered a full-time student and be eligible for UTA-controlled scholarship(s) and Texas need based grants.
SAR Center approval of a reduced course load may impact a student’s Federal Financial Aid package. Students who are approved for a reduced course load as an accommodation are responsible for meeting with the UTA Financial Aid office to discuss the impact of a reduced credit load on their financial aid package (Pell grant, Federal Financial Aid, etc.). The Financial Aid office is responsible for individual financial need assessment including budget allowance, family contribution, and program eligibility. Federal financial aid credit requirement guidelines are not under UTA or the SAR Center control.
Once the SAR Center determines eligibility for a reduced courseload, the SAR Center will send the eligibility information to the UTA Financial Aid and Scholarship offices indicating the student’s approval of this accommodation. Students who are approved for a reduced course load as an accommodation are responsible for meeting with both or either the UTA Scholarship office and/or the Financial Aid Office.
Students are expected to complete the number of credits they signed up to take prior to receiving this accommodation and cannot use the reduced credit accommodations to address deficiencies in credit completion rate.
International Students
International students may not be eligible for this accommodation due to visa requirements.
Please contact the SAR Center directly at sarcenter@uta.edu to discuss your situation.
Graduate Students
Graduate students who have a GRA or GTA position may have additional steps through the Talent, Culture, and Engagement Office (TCE) due to employment requirements.
Please contact the SAR Center directly at sarcenter@uta.edu to discuss your situation.
