Financial aid applicants must meet the federal eligibility requirements for aid, and if asked, provide documents as needed to support eligibility:
- You must be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen.
- You must be accepted and currently active in an eligible degree program, eligible graduate preparatory program, or in approved coursework for teacher certification (see the Office of Financial Aid for more information about this status.)
- For most financial aid programs, and for loan deferment, you must enroll in your program at least half-time. Your classes must be taken for credit; audited classes are not eligible for aid.
- You must be in good academic standing and making satisfactory academic progress in your course of study.
- You must not be in default on any federal loan or owe a repayment on any federal grant.
- You must comply with all federal regulations governing selective service registration and use of funds for educational purposes.
