Repeat Course Regulation

On July 1, 2011, changes in federal regulations impact how financial aid can be used for classes taken more than once. A repeated course is eligible for financial aid if it has never been completed with a grade of D- or higher (passed). A course can be completed one additional time with financial aid after receiving a passing grade. Some performance courses may be repeated using financial aid even after receiving a passing grade due to different subject content being studied in each term. All courses previously taken are compared against the current semester to determine if it is a repeated class and whether it can be paid for using financial aid. Listed below are examples of the regulation. If you have any questions, please see your Financial Aid Advisor.
