51. Financial Aid Statement Students taking Cooperative Agreement courses for college credit need to be informed of current restrictions placed on federal financial aid. To remain eligible for federal financial aid, students must complete an associate degree that requires 62 credit hours by the time 93 credit hours are attempted and a bachelor’s degree requiring 124 hours by the time 186 credit hours are attempted. The Cooperative Alliance credits are applicable only to Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degrees; therefore, students planning to earn an associate degree that transfers (Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS)) to a university will have taken credit hours that will not apply to the degree but probably will count as hours attempted. Students who drop or fail Cooperative Alliance courses while at the technology center could enter college and immediately be probationary or even suspended from financial aid due to grade point average or credits attempted limitations. Questions regarding the applicability of Cooperative Alliance courses and financial aid should be directed to the college financial aid office.

52. Ultimately, the “take away” should be that taking hours for college credit can affect the student’s future eligibility for federal financial aid even if financial aid is not received for the college credit courses. Any courses that a student fails to complete successfully or any courses that do not count toward the student’s ultimate post- secondary degree objective may jeopardize the student’s financial aid eligibility.
