Eligible Programs/Courses, Enrollment Status and Repeating Courses
You must be accepted for enrollment in an eligible program to receive any type of
federal aid. General Education Development (GED) and continuing education courses
are not eligible courses. Audited classes will not be considered in determining your
enrollment status. Students enrolled as a special or transient student in an Admission
of Special Applicants Program (ASAP) are not eligible for financial aid or VA benefits.
Eligibility can only be based on those courses required for graduation or as a prerequisite
for courses required in your program of study.
For federal aid programs only, once a student has completed a course two times that
course cannot count in the enrollment status.
All the terms in a semester are combined to determine your enrollment status for that
semester.
The original award notice is based on full-time status; however, aid will be reduced
based on the actual number of credit hours in which you enroll. Remember if you are
not full-time, you do not pay as much for tuition and fees.
The final enrollment status is determined as of the census date each semester:
Full-Time Status: 12+ credit hours
Three-Quarter Time Status: 9-11 credit hours
Half-Time Status: 6-8 credit hours
Less than Half-Time Status: 1-5 credit hours
