1. Meet satisfactory academic progress standards;

2. Be enrolled in a degree granting or teacher certification or licensure program (see Class Level and Admission Status for details);

If you are enrolled half time but less than full time, your awards may be reduced or cancelled depending upon your actual enrollment at the time of disbursement and the eligibility criteria for each of the aid programs. See Enrollment Status for details;
