Certificate level students must be enrolled for at least six credit
hours of degree resident (lecture) course work per semester to be
eligible for financial aid.

Students taking on-line courses may receive financial aid funding (if

financial aid eligibility for on-line class funding will include
tuition, fees, and books only. Transportation costs, personal
expenses, room, and board are not included in determining the amount
of financial aid funding, and are not considered to be relevant costs
associated with on-line study.* Students may choose to live in
University housing while taking on-line study; however the expenses
related to dorm residence will not be included in financial aid
calculations.
