Maximum Time Frame for Completing Education Goal

All students receiving financial aid will be expected to complete a degree or certificate program within 150% of the published unit requirements for the chosen program of study. For example, students are allowed a maximum of 72 attempted degree -applicable units within which to complete an associates degree or requirements to transfer (12 units required x 6 semesters = 72). Students enrolled in programs with less than or more than the standard 60 unit requirement will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Thirty (30) units of remedial coursework will not be counted in the 72 unit maximum time frame. The maximum time frame is based upon units attempted. The use of a unit standard to measure maximum time frame permits variations in a student’s enrollment status to be taken into consideration within the academic year increment.
