Financial Aid

Helping students reduce the cost of education

Financial aid will only be offered for courses that count toward your degree completion. If you are registered in courses outside of your program, your financial aid offers and the way your financial aid pays for your courses may be impacted. For more information on what you need to do to ensure that your financial aid pays for the courses that you are registered in, click here.
