Repeated Courses and Financial Aid

WPO 5.08-7        Repeated Courses and Financial Aid (Op5.08-7)

Although the University’s Repeat Policy allows an unlimited repeat of courses, the following policy will apply when determining financial aid eligibility.

Federal regulations allow a student to receive federal financial aid for only one repeat of a previously passed course. Therefore, financial aid eligibility will be reviewed if a student is repeating for the third time a course for which the student previously earned a passing grade.  Depending on the results of that review, financial aid award amounts may require adjustment (e.g., if not counting the repeated course results in a change from full time enrollment). Passing grades for financial aid purposes are 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D' or 'P'. Students repeating failed coursework may receive aid for multiple attempts. Exceptions cannot be made for circumstances in which a student has not earned a required grade upon their second attempt for a given class or in order to meet grade point average requirements for graduation (e.g., prerequisite requirements or for courses which required a 'C' grade or better).

A+ will not pay for repeated classes.  A repeated class is a class in which you are currently enrolled, you were enrolled in a previous semester/term and received a standard letter grade (A, B, C, D or F). You will be responsible for the tuition.  The repeated class can count toward full-time enrollment.
