Financial Aid Question?
Hey everybody, I had a quick question regarding FAFSA.
Im taking 13 credits this summer and 9 in the Fall...Since I took so many classes in the summer, do they make me full time for the Fall if I didnt get FAFSA for the summer?

No. Each semester is looked at individually. Your summer enrollment doesn't matter as far as your fall financial aid is concerned.
No. Usually you don't get Financial Aid for the summer unless you signed for that. You have to be a full time student for sure in the Fall and Spring Semesters or your financial aid will be less. You better take another class in the Fall so you can be a full time student. The only good thing is that you will be done with school faster because you took classes in the summer.
No, each semester counts separately. Even if you take a lot of hours during the summer, you still have to have 12 hours during the fall to get the full amount for a full-time student.
I believe full time for an undergraduate is 12 credits and 9 for a graduate student. Ask your financial aid office to verify because if you are not full time that will effect your financial aid.
