Financial Aid Policies and Procedures
View college policies and procedures regarding financial assistance.
Degree Pursuant Coursework
Only coursework required for a student’s completion of their active degree program is included in determining their course load for federal and state financial aid and their cost of attendance for all financial aid. Taking coursework that is not required for degree completion may result in a recalculation of a student’s aid package and financial aid may be reduced or eliminated. If a student has questions on whether a course is required for their degree program, they should contact their Academic Advisor or the Office of the Registrar.
Assistance Available from Federal, State, Local and Institutional Programs
Information regarding assistance available from federal, state, local and institutional programs can be found in the Course Catalog.
