A student who does not complete 60% of the semester will be required to return any funds for which the student is not eligible to receive based on the calculation.

In addition, students who are receiving the following types of aid have additional requirements.

1.       Loans -- A student must maintain enrollment in at least 6 hours per semester in order to be eligible for the loan.

2.       MTAG, MESG, and other state programs – A student must maintain enrollment in at least 12 hours per semester.
