Your enrollment does affect your eligibility for federal financial aid.
Federal 规定 require you to be “degree” or “eligible certificate” seeking to receive financial aid, but the courses you take must also be required for the program. 本质上, only the coursework that counts towards your degree will be used in determining your hours of enrollment for federal aid purposes (grants, 贷款, 和联邦勤工俭学).
想知道它们算不算?
To see if your classes are eligible, check your DegreeCheck audit. DegreeCheck is a great way for you to review your program audit to see required courses and courses remaining to complete your program! 我们的辅导员 咨询部门 can also meet with you one-on-one to map out your program plan.
How do I know if I have a financial aid issue with my schedule?
If we determine one or more of your courses is not aid eligible, you will receive an email to your student email account. The notification will clearly identify that there is an issue with aid eligibility for a specific semester.
如果我的课不算数，我该怎么办?
Start early and be familiar with your DegreeCheck audit, so you can make enrollment adjustments. 你的学习项目位于最上面. Generally, courses not counting will show in the “courses not applied” section of your audit. You can also use the “What If” feature to check other degrees or certificates you may be considering. If you are planning on changing your enrollment or program of study, we encourage you to contact a Counselor for assistance. Please allow 24 hours for financial aid eligibility adjustments to be made after any schedule changes.
我的助学金会支付那些不算数的课程吗?
For example: let’s say you have 9 hours and only 6 are eligible; it’s possible for your financial aid to cover the tuition for the eligible hours and have enough excess to pay for the 3 hour course that is not eligible. Always review your financial aid package by finding your “招收 or Drop a Class” card in My赌钱app可以微信提现 and clicking the “Pay for Classes” link.
经济资助也包括DayOne的费用吗?
Yes, DayOne Access charges are posted to your account as soon as you enroll in the course. Those charges are able to be paid with financial aid funds available, just like tuition.
那么选修课和发展课程呢?
Electives can be eligible, provided they are specified for your program and you still need them. Developmental or remedial courses will be eligible, 根据需要, 最多30个学分. English as a Second Language (ESL) courses are considered remedial, but do not count in this limit.
我的先决条件算数吗??
If the prerequisite is listed as a required course for your program, the course will be eligible.
Why is DegreeCheck showing that my course counts, but it is not counting for my financial aid eligible enrollment?
我们也想知道! Contact us so we can do an in-depth evaluation of your academic history alongside your catalog of record to validate accuracy.
What if I am taking courses just to be admitted to another program or institution?
We would encourage you to contact a Counselor for assistance. We may review your situation for consideration as “preparatory coursework.“通过准备课程, students may be eligible for federal 贷款 while taking required courses within the approved timeframe.
Am I still able to take courses not required for my degree?
是的，你可以选一门非必修课. Just know that the course will not count toward your financial aid enrollment status.
I am double majoring; will all my courses count?
DegreeCheck should properly identify crossover courses, including electives. 即使是双学位, 才有资格获得联邦援助, 你必须还在读必修课.
What if I change my schedule and add a required course?
Once you make a change, DegreeCheck will need to update overnight. Then, contact our office so we can re-evaluate your eligibility. Contacting us will provide you peace of mind and ensure accuracy within your updated audit and financial aid package.
What if I make a change to my schedule after I receive my refund?
Our office may need to re-evaluate your financial aid file, 这取决于计划变更发生的时间. We would encourage you to contact a Counselor and our office prior to making any schedule changes after a semester begins. Schedule changes could affect the amount authorized and/or disbursed, 导致学生拖欠欠款.
资格的例子:
If you are eligible for the Pell Grant and are enrolled in 12 credit hours, 但你的课程只需要9个, you will receive federal aid for only those 9 eligible hours.
如果你注册了6个学分, 但你的课程只需要3个, 你将没有资格获得学生贷款. Students must be enrolled in a minimum of 6 eligible hours for Federal Direct 贷款.
