Changing classes and reducing credits can affect your financial aid

Changing your classes and the number of credits you take can impact your financial aid. UWM’s Student Financial Services has a webpage with financial aid guidance on changes that went into effect on July 1, 2026, as a result of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

As the U.S. Department of Education continues to finalize rules and offer guidance, UWM will update the page. If you need assistance with understanding the information shared and how it will impact your financial aid, please contact the Student Financial Service Center.
