Courses Counting Toward Degree for Financial Aid

Policy on Reviewing Course Applicability for Financial Aid

As a financial aid recipient, the federal government requires that your aid eligibility be based only on those courses that count toward the completion of your degree. Further explanation of those requirements can be found on the TXST One Stop website.

If Financial Aid and Scholarships has notified you that you are enrolled in courses that do not count towards your degree requirements, please complete the following form. Do not submit this form until you have registered for the class or classes that need to be reviewed. In order to process your request, ensure that all requested information is provided in your submission. Any omitted information will delay your request until we receive the requested information from you.

Important Notes

• If your courses are approved and you change your schedule, the approval may be deleted by the Financial Aid system. Our office does not receive notification of schedule changes, so it is your responsibility to resubmit this form for courses that need to be re-approved.
• Curriculum changes (major/minor changes) after the census date (12th class day in fall/spring, 4th class day in summer sessions) may impact courses counting toward the degree. You are responsible for contacting the Financial Aid Office to determine how curriculum changes will affect your aid prior to requesting a major/minor change.

We strive to provide prompt replies to email, phone, and personal inquiries regarding the degree applicability of coursework for financial aid purposes.

Inquiries will receive responses within 3-4 business days.
