Eligibility is based on the number of credit hours and the number of weeks of instructional time completed. The college can only certify eligibility to apply for a student loan. Final determination of loan eligibility is made by the lender and the government guarantee agency. There will be two disbursements of loan funds during the loan period. Disbursements are released at the beginning and at midpoint throughout the loan period.
Financial aid is processed on a twelve-month basis.
Students must reapply every year. Undergraduate students who demonstrate a high level of financial need and who start class between January 1 and March 31 will want to complete the current year's financial aid packet and the upcoming year's financial aid packet in order to maximize aid. The student must be attending class to receive financial aid monies.
