- All Bright Futures recipients are eligible for up to 132 credit hours; however, eligible students may only receive up to 45 hours of credit per academic year, including summer terms.
- Course work taken during the summer after the academic year may be used to meet the cumulative GPA requirements for the Bright Futures programs.
- Course work taken during a previous summer may be used in meeting the 24 credit hour and CGPA requirements on the BFRAG and FSAG (i.e. classes taken in the summer of 2004 may be used to meet the credit hours for the 2004-2005 academic year).
- Students enrolling for only one semester must complete at least 12 new credit hours while maintaining the required CGPA.
- Any "probation" or "conditional" appeal granted by the University of Miami does not apply to State of Florida aid.
