The Pell Recalculation Date (PRD), sometimes referred to as the freeze or census date, is a date in the semester when the Office of Student Aid evaluates your eligibility for grants (federal, state, and institutional), based on your enrollment level and length of enrollment. This is true even if you are not receiving the Pell Grant.
The PRD is also used as a means of finalizing your Cost of Attendance (COA). On the established PRD, both your hours of enrollment as well as your COA will be frozen.
