Repeated Courses Policy for Financial Aid Eligibility
Federal regulations limit the number of times a student may repeat
a course and receive federal financial aid for that course.
- A course being repeated for the first time counts toward enrollment
for financial aid eligibility.
- Retaking a course that was previously
failed one or more consecutive times (received an F) counts
toward enrollment for financial aid eligibility.
- A previously passed course counts in enrollment for financial
aid eligibility one additional time. A second or subsequent
repeat must be excluded
from
the enrollment calculation of
financial
aid eligibility
and the aid revised if allowable credits drop below full time (12 credits).
- This
rule applies whether or not the student received aid for earlier
enrollments in the course.
- Only Title IV federal aid is subject to this policy. (Federal Pell
Grant, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, TEACH Grant, Direct
Loans, Perkins Loan, and Federal Work Study)
- Courses where the course and number remain the same but the content
changes might not be considered a repeat when taken more than
once. An example is a music performance course. The Registrar's Office
confirms qualifying enrollments as non-repeats on an individual basis.
- Should financial aid need to be adjusted to reflect the exclusion
of repeats, the Office of Financial Aid will send a revised
award letter to the student.
Example 1: Student fails first, second, third, etc. attempt of a course.
Because student never received a passing grade, course can be repeated
and be
included in enrollment for financial aid.
Example 2: Student fails first attempt and receives
a D for the second attempt. A third attempt can be included in enrollment
for financial
aid for a final time. After a passing grade (A to D-or P) is received
only one additional attempt can be counted for financial aid enrollment.
Example 3: Student fails first attempt, receives a
D for a second attempt, fails third attempt. Student takes course a fourth
time. Because the
student received a passing grade earlier and then repeated the course,
enrollment in the fourth attempt cannot be included
for financial aid enrollment regardless of the grade.
Example 4: Student passes first attempt with a D, fails a second attempt.
Student cannot receive federal aid for any further attempts.
