Do CSN max financial aid petitions work?

U.S.A. Nevada

Published

Has anyone been successful petitioning maximum financial aid reached for a 2 year school, ie. CSN? I heard once I get accepted into the ADN program, then petition to extend my financial aid, I have a good chance of being able to use my financial aid extension for a 4 year school, at the CSN 2 year ADN program. I wonder if anyone has had an experience petitioning this?

Since were on the subject of petitions, I have a AA degree with 140 credits so even if I do get financial aid extension, will I also still be charged the 50% excess credit fee at CSN as well? Im over 90 associate degree credits, even though I do have a degree so are they going to approve waiving that excess credit fee petition too because I have a degree?

~ Thank you for your help, advice and sharing your similar experiences. I know this is a long shot but I really want to be a nurse and I have limited financial aid leaving me with fewer school options than before so I am scrambling to find a program I can afford.

My associates degree is from another (out-of-state) institution, so I am not sure if that is why I was automatically charged the ECF fee when I registered for Fall-2014. (Christina - Are your other degrees from Nevada institutions, if you don't mind me asking?) As far as your question, PTP...I opted to just go ahead and pay the fee, and file the appeal at a later date, rather than risk getting dropped from my classes. I had so much going on at the time (son graduated high school, family in town, quitting my job, training someone else to do my job, helping sister with new baby, etc.) I am taking my last two prerequisites and just didn't want to take the chance that I might be dropped for non-payment. (I don't know whether it would have happened, or not. I just sided with caution.) I am hoping that since I provided documentation of my degree under the appeals process that maybe (fingers crossed) the registration system will somehow recognize my prior degree and not automatically charge ECF the next time I register. Here's hoping!

All of my credits and degrees are from CSN but as long as CSN recognizes the credits from your prior school, the degree should apply.
