下表列出了在报告所有退学/退课后必须获得的学分的标准情况, per a student's enrollment type. This table does not include all scenarios. To customize based on your situation, use the 明亮的未来 Credit Hour Interactive Tool.

Minimum Annual Credit Hour Requirements by Semester

秋季学时获资助	春季学时获资助	Annual Earned Hours Requirement
全职 (12 +学分)	全职	12 + 12 = 24
	四分之三的时间	12 + 9 = 21
	半场	12 + 6 = 18
四分之三的时间 (9 - 11学分)	全职	9 + 12 = 21
	四分之三的时间	9 + 9 = 18

恢复

恢复 would be utilized for students who have lost their 明亮的未来 during the preceding academic year. A one-time restoration opportunity is available under limited circumstances:

1. A student who did not meet at least the overall cumulative 2.75 平均绩点更新要求, 但是在资助的第一年(春季学期结束或春季/夏季学期结束的学生)达到学分续期要求的学生有一次机会恢复奖学金. If a student that has a restoration opportunity fails to restore the 平均绩点, the attempt is still available after future academic years until a successful restoration is achieved, or until the 5-year limit has been reached.
2. A student who was initially eligible for an 佛罗里达学术学者 award (FAS), 但由于总累积平均绩点在2之间，因此可以获得佛罗里达奖章奖学金(FMS)的资格.75 – 2.99, has a one-time opportunity to restore to FAS. If a student that has a restoration opportunity fails to restore to FAS, 在未来的学年之后，这种尝试仍然可以进行，直到FAS恢复成功为止, or until the 5-year limit has been reached.
3. A student who was initially eligible for an FAS award and met the credit hour requirement, but lost award eligibility due to earning an overall cumulative 平均绩点 below a 2.75 during the first year of funding, may seek to restore their award in the following ways:
   1. A student earning an overall cumulative 平均绩点 between 2.75 – 2.99将导致成功恢复FMS奖励资格，而没有机会恢复为FAS.
   2. A student earning an overall cumulative 平均绩点 of 3.0 or higher will result in a successful restoration to FAS award eligibility. No further restoration opportunities will be allowed.

恢复 requirements can be satisfied by: 

• 参加暑期课程，这将适用于你的累积平均绩点，并要求经济援助办公室提交一份夏季成绩和学时更新到光明期货办公室，表明调整后的累积平均绩点和学时; or
• 在学生寻求资助的秋季学期(或春季/夏季学生的春季学期)之前将累积平均绩点提高到更新要求以上，并提交一份 恢复/恢复 Application.
