Financial Aid Question

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

I was wondering how exactly finacial aid works regarding classes you may need down the road for your bachelor's degree but taking the class while in a community college. Does financial aid give you money towards the class or do they only give you money for classes required at your current school.

I was thinking about taking Chemistry in the fall but it is not in my curriculum for my associate's degree but it will be required when I attend a 4 year school for my bachelor's.

If something doesn't make sense please forgive me, rough day at work and school.

Financial aid will pay for all the classes as long as you're making the required progress toward your degree.

i'm not sure if i understand exactly what your question is...

But if you currently recieve financial aid for your current school/degree, there is no limit of what class you please to take with your courses for your degree. If financial aid gives you, lets say $12,000 and your taking 15 credits.. as long as it covers you.. they don't limit the courses you take..you can think of it as an elective.. as long as you can squeeze it into your course load.. your fine. so if ur a communications major but need to take a&p as ur pre req.. you can squeeze it in the schedule as long as it fits ur credit load.

sorry if this isn't clear.. i had an orgo final today:uhoh3:

I am currently attending a 2 year program and chemistry is not a requirement for my associate's degree but it will be for my bachelor's degree. If I was to take Chemistry in anticipation of attending a 4 year college down the line would financial aid pay for it in the fall or do I have to be already attending a 4 year college in order for them to consider it as a class towards my degree?

Thank you for the replies and sorry if it doesn't make sense.

As the previous person said yes it will as long as you can fulfill the gpa requirement and get it into your courseload. I don't think what you take matters as far as financial aid goes.

You need to make sure you don't attempt more than 150% of the credits required for your program. If you do, financial aid will cut you off regardless of what you have left for your degree. These are total credits attempted, regardless of whether you were on financial aid at the time or not. Federal rules.
