Repeated Coursework
Beginning July 1, 2011, the ED amended the definition of a full-time student to allow repeated coursework to count toward enrollment status in term-based programs:
- Students may only receive federal financial aid funding for one repetition of a previously passed course. That is, if a student passes a course with a low grade and wants to get a better grade to improve his GPA, he can retake the course once. If, after the student retakes the course, he wants to retake it again and his course load at the time is 12 credit hours, the student will not be considered to be attending full time; he will be considered to be attending 3/4 time and financial aid will be disbursed as such. This is for financial aid purposes only.
- Student may repeat failed course until it is passed.
