Financial aid question.

U.S.A. Michigan

Published

I currently attend a school that will give me financial aid until I am done with my program.... if I actually ever gain entry to said program... :rolleyes:

I have put in my app, and I need to take an entrance test for another school, but I was looking at the school website (and then to all the community college websites) and they have this rule where you can only have 93 attempted hours (transfers... withdrawls... anything), total. After that you can't receive financial aid any longer, even if you have need for it.

I had gone to school at the same school when I was just out of high school. 20 years ago. My grades were less than parr, to say the very least. And clearly, with my transfer credits from my current school (almost all A's) and with the old attempted credits, I will never get financial aid, and with 4 kids, there is no way I can afford to go through school with no help. I can't be gone for 60+ hours a week... I mean, I can... but I would never see my kids. (Although, there are times when this might be attractive... just kidding)

Anyway, I am wondering if there is any way around this. Has anyone been in a similar situation and what did you do about it?

I need to be able to apply to other programs, but being able to pay for it, may elude me.

Hello,

Does this 93 cr. rule apply to associate programs? or will you be eligible at the BS level.

I have attended 3 colleges over 10 yrs...part-time so I have a bunch of credits but still need a few

more prereqs for the RN program. I've applied and was accepted to OU for "pre-nursing"

I haven't heard finanical aid yet.

I think its only for associates programs because most bachelors programs require over 100 credits. I took about 130 credits to get my bachelors and was never denied financial aid.

The 93 credit rule has something to do with having too many credits to still be seeking an associates degree.

I got my appeal approved a few weeks ago and the loans have already gone through. I find it speeds up the process if you fax everything they ask for rather than taking it into the office.

Do you have the fax number? They didn't give that to me.
