Policy: 8409

On occasion, students return to the College for a second degree or certificate. When this occurs, financial aid eligibility is handled differently than for a student working on an initial degree.

Former College students (and former known past institutional entities of the College) who return for a second associate degree or certificate program, and who are eligible for financial aid, may receive the full benefit Title IV funding administered by the U.S. Department of Education for courses that are not duplicated from the first degree and are required for the new degree completion.

For continued eligibility, courses taken for the first degree must be totally transferable into the program for the second degree with no repetition of courses from the first degree. The student will then be eligible for financial aid strictly for those additional courses necessary to complete the second degree.
