Repeated Coursework

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

Once a student has received a letter grade of "D" or better and received financial aid, a student may receive financial aid for only one additional attempt for the same course, regardless of the earned grade for the attempt.

A third or subsequent attempt of that same course will not be factored into the student's enrollment for financial aid purposes and federal aid may be reduced or canceled.

Adding courses may mitigate any reduction. At census, we will modify aid based on your adjusted enrollment status. Repeated classes may also count against Satisfactory Academic Progress, which must be taken into consideration when determining aid eligibility.

Timeline for students who are repeating a course, and are not eligible for financial aid

A temporary financial aid hold may be placed on your account, preventing disbursement of aid, if you enroll in a repeated course.
The Office of Financial Aid will verify your eligibility after the Census date, based on your current enrollment. This may result in the reduction or reinstatement of previously adjusted aid.
If your aid is adjusted, the Office of Financial Aid will notify you via email regarding the changes.
Aid adjustments may require repayment. If repayment is necessary due to repeated coursework, you will receive a billing statement.
You can adjust your enrollment from late registration through the Census date to avoid disruptions to your federal or state aid.
