Courses Not ins Program of Study: Impact on Financial Aid

As per federal regulations, a school cannot award federal Title IV aid for credit hours/course work that will not count toward the completion of a student's degree program requirements. At UTRGV, this requirement is applied to all types of financial aid such as Federal, State and Institutional aid. Thus, students enrolling in courses that are not required as part of their degree could see their financial aid prorated and/or cancelled as required by the U.S. Department of Education. Students should reference DegreeWorks in ASSIST to determine which courses count towards their degree.
