Repeated Courses and Eligibility - Financial Aid

Repeated Courses and Financial Aid Eligibility

Federal regulation limits the number of times a student may repeat a course and receive financial aid for that course.

A student may receive aid when repeating a course that was previously failed, regardless of the number of times the course was attempted and failed.
A student may receive aid for repeating a previously passed course as long it is the first repeat of the course and is required in your program.
Once a student has completed any course twice with a passing grade, he/she is no longer eligible to receive aid for that course.
If a student retakes a course that is not aid eligible, those credits will be excluded when calculating financial aid eligibility.
