Pell Recalculation Date (PRD) for Modules
UTRGV is permitted to set a Pell Recalculation Date (PRD) as a means to establish a timeframe for students to add or drop courses to determine a student’s enrollment status for Pell Awarding purposes.
UTRGV has assigned a PRD to each module within a Semester.
If a student is enrolled in several modules within the payment period (Semester), the latest active PRD will be used. An active PRD is if a student began attendance in the module.
When a PRD is activated, all courses within the semester will be considered when determining enrollment status.

Students can only be matriculated into one academic program concurrently. For example, a student cannot be matriculated into the accelerated online MBA program and into the on-campus MBA program concurrently. This does not preclude a student from withdrawing from one program and entering into the other.

In accordance with the above policy, students cannot enroll in accelerated online classes and traditional on campus classes concurrently.

As a result of the intense, accelerated format of these programs, a graduate student matriculated into one will be defined as full-time upon enrollment in six credit hours in any two seven-week accelerated modules that comprise a traditional academic semester (Fall, Spring, or Summer).

A student matriculated into one of the accelerated online graduate program will be considered part-time upon enrollment in three credit hours in any two seven-week accelerated modules that comprise a traditional academic semester (Fall, Spring, or Summer).
