Eligible Coursework for Aid

How do I remain eligible for financial aid at CState?

Federal Financial Aid can only pay for classes that are required for your declared program of study.

Federal Student Aid eligibility calculation cannot include classes that do not count toward the student's degree or certificate. Federal Financial Aid regulations require each course to be required for the student's program of study for that course to be counted as "Federal Student Aid Eligible." This funding is available for a maximum of 30 credit hours of pre-college-level coursework over your academic career, including ALL passing, withdrawn, and failed courses.
