Financial Aid
¶·Å£ÆåÅÆ University undergraduate degree students may be eligible for federal financial aid if the following conditions are met:
- registration is completed by the add/drop date for an ¶·Å£ÆåÅÆ University on-campus Fall or Spring semester
- a minimum of 6 credits are registered
- courses are completed within the semester to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements
- the student is admitted to a program that leads to an associates, bachelors or graduate degree (certificate programs are not eligible for federal aid)
Further constraints to be considered by distance degree students:
- When a mix of course types are taken, financial aid is based on the number of on-campus or interactive online credits plus a match of self-paced credits. A minimum of 6 total credits, of which 3 must be on-campus or interactive online to qualify for aid.
- Federal regulations define self-paced study students as half-time only. For federal PELL grant, 6 credits is considered half-time, but any load of 6 or more self-paced courses will be considered half-time only and PELL will be pro-rated to half of a full award. PELL grants are not disbursed until 50% of self-paced coursework is completed.
- Federal regulations limit financial aid to tuition, textbooks, and fees only for self-paced courses.
