Regain Financial Aid Eligibility
First, you need to complete the current degree program and can regain eligibility if you continue in a more advanced degree program and are within the maximum credit limits of the advanced degree. Examples: Complete an associate’s degree and continue in a bachelor’s degree program; complete a bachelor’s degree and continue in a second bachelor’s or master’s degree.
When you complete your first bachelor’s degree and continues in a second bachelor’s program, the credit count will restart at 0 and new credit limits will apply. All additional credits you take as an undergraduate student will accrue cumulatively. Completion of a second/subsequent undergraduate degree will not restart the count to 0.
When you begin your first graduate program, the credit count will restart at 0. All credits taken as a graduate student will accrue cumulatively. The credit count will not restart at 0 once you complete a graduate program and continue to take graduate courses, whether for a second/subsequent master’s or doctorate.
You can also submit a SAP appeal for potential approval of an academic plan.
