学位审核信息和Q&A

Federal Title IV aid and state financial aid regulations mandate that federal and state aid cannot be awarded for courses that do not count toward a student’s academic program. If a student is enrolled in courses that do not count toward his or her degree or 证书, 这些课程不能用于确定注册状态. HSU uses the student information delivered process called “degree audit” to monitor student courses more closely in order to meet federal compliance requirements.

问：学位审核规定是否适用于所有学生?
The regulations apply to all students receiving financial aid from federal and state sources.

Q: Why are only courses required for the degree considered eligible?
The federal regulations governing student financial aid indicate that a student enrolled in courses that do not count towards the degree, 证书, 或其他认可的证书, 不能用于确定注册状态.

Ex. If a student is taking 15 hours and 12 hours are fulfilling the undergraduate degree program then they are still a full-time student for title IV purposes. If an undergraduate student is taking 15 hours and only 9 are fulfilling the degree program, then we consider them a ¾ time student and prorate aid accordingly.

问：哪些经济援助项目会产生影响?
Federal Title IV aid and state financial aid programs are affected. 在许, 联邦援助包括联邦佩尔助学金, 直接贷款, 毕业生和家长PLUS贷款, 联邦补充教育机会补助金（FSEOG）, 和联邦勤工俭学. State financial aid affected includes the 学费 Equalization Grant.

Current HSU policy does not use degree audit in determining eligibility for institutional aid (HSU funded academic scholarships and grants).

问：在学位审核中，选修课是否合格?
Elective classes are eligible up to the number of electives permitted for the student’s degree, 根据项目的学位要求.

问：那补习课程呢?
An admitted student CAN receive title IV aid for a remedial course that increases the ability of a student to pursue a course of study leading to the degree.

问：复读课程怎么样?
A student can repeat a course (or its equivalency) an infinite number of times and receive federal aid only if all previous attempts resulted in an F on the student’s record.

一旦学生通过了一门课程（得了a）, B, C, 或D级), he/she can retake the course a second time and receive federal aid (if eligible). 不管第二次尝试是通过还是失败, 该学生不能再次尝试获得资助. Ex. If the student earned a ‘C’ in a class and wants to attempt to earn an ‘A’ or ‘B’, 学生可以用佩尔支付学费. If the student earns a ‘B’, he may not use federal aid in a third attempt to try and earn the ‘A’.

A student cannot receive aid for any repetition of a previously passed course due to the student failing other coursework.

Q: If a student passes a course, re-takes, and fails, can they take again and receive title IV aid?
不，只有一次重考才能获得更好的成绩. 因为他们之前通过了这门课, 他们将无法获得第三次援助.

问：学生可以重复WP吗?
A course from which a student withdraws does not count as a repetition of a previously-passed course for determining a student’s enrollment status. When a student withdraws, the attempts do not count as completing or retaking the course.

问：预修课程有资格获得经济援助吗?
A student CAN receive title IV aid for a prerequisite course if that course is required in order to register for another class that is needed to fulfill a graduation requirement.

A student CAN receive title IV aid for a course that prepares them for the next degree if that course fits into their current degree program.

A student CAN NOT receive title IV aid for a course that prepares them for the next degree if that course will not fit into their current degree program.

问：本科和研究生双学位课程怎么样?
A student who is classified as an undergraduate student can receive Title IV aid to pay for only those courses (required electives or otherwise) which apply toward the student’s undergraduate degree completion requirements.

如果学生被HSU归类为本科生, but that student is taking graduate classes which do not apply toward completion of the undergraduate degree, 那就有问题了, especially during terms when the student is taking no classes which apply toward undergraduate degree completion requirements (in which case the student will be considered enrolled less-than-half-time for Enrollment Reporting and financial aid).

Q: Are students notified that their courses will not be covered by financial aid?
一旦注册, students will see a message in their self-service portal that lets them know that they are not eligible for the respective award if their courses do not qualify them for part time, 四分之三的时间, 或者全日制入学. The financial aid office will also be monitoring and notifying students weekly that may need additional advising.

问：学生有问题应该联系谁?
A student will first need to work with the registrar’s office regarding questionable courses and degree program requirements. If it is determined that a course or courses will not be eligible in a student’s program, please advise them to talk to a financial aid counselor to determine the significance of the change in financial aid and other options for payment assistance. financialaid@szoaoffice.com or 325-670-1050.
