Does my student need to complete a certain number of credit hours to maintain financial aid eligibility?
All financial aid is awarded on the understanding that the student will maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress. Minimum credit requirements per semester obligate students to be enrolled in a minimum of 12 credit hours each semester in order to retain full-time financial aid eligibility. Students enrolled in fewer than 12 credits will be eligible for half-time status aid, providing they are enrolled for at least 6 credit hours, but will lose institutional aid. Any student dropping below half-time attendance immediately loses eligibility for any financial aid. Minimum credit requirements per year obligate students to complete 24 credits hours by the end of the academic year, or 12 credits if attending only one semester.
