These regulations only affect students receiving federal (including loans) and state aid. If you pay for courses on your own you are free to take whatever courses you choose.

• Pre-req courses are not aid eligible if they are not required in the major.ÌýStudents can do the 12+ credit hours if they are needed, get aid for part-time study, pursue loans/scholarships or look into Liberal Arts.

You will need to readjust the courses within your program and take courses that do count for financial aid. Otherwise you will be responsible for payment for all courses that do not meet program requirements.

You will only receive financial aid for courses in your program and your financial aid award package will be reduced to reflect the number of courses you are taking that do apply to your program.
