Repeated Courses and Financial Aid

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

  • A student may receive aid to repeat a previously passed course one additional time. Once a student has completed any course twice with a passing grade, he/she is no longer eligible to receive aid for that course.
  • A student may receive aid when repeating a course that was previously failed (U, F, W, WX, WD, F/D, or F/F) regardless of the number of times the course was attempted and failed if he/she is meeting the overall Standards of Academic Progress.
  • If a student retakes a course that is not aid eligible, a recalculation of aid is done to exclude the credits for the repeated course.
  • This rule applies whether the student received aid for earlier enrollments in the course.
