Have you made changes your classes or major?
Program applicability is based on your officially declared program (your declared major and all other required components - emphasis, minor, or cluster).  For financial aid purposes, if you plan to change your program, you must submit your change to your academic advisor at least two weeks before the beginning of the semester. Changes made after this time could result in a loss of federal financial aid for the upcoming semester.  If you have changed your program or any of the classes you initially registered for, use the Program Applicability Tool (PAT) on your student tab to verify that your registered classes are eligible to be considered for federal financial aid.

If so, make sure that your declared major is correct and check your registered classes with the Program Applicability Tool (PAT) on your student tab to verify that your classes are eligible to be considered for federal financial aid.
