Repeating Classes and Financial Aid Eligibility Regulations
Federal financial aid regulations limit the number of times a student may repeat a course and receive federal financial aid for that course.
- A student is allowed to repeat the same course and receive federal financial aid until a D grade or better is earned for the class.
- Once the student has achieved a D grade or better, a student can repeat the same course a second time and still receive federal financial aid.
Examples: Repeating a class could reduce your overall financial aid eligibility.
