Financial Aid FAQs

Your classes may not be program-applicable to your major


For federal financial aid, you must be enrolled in classes that apply to your declared major (Program Applicable).

What to do:

  • Use the Program Applicability Tool (PAT) to confirm your classes qualify for financial aid.
  • Contact an Academic Advisor if you believe a class should apply to your major but does not.
  • Ensure all courses are Program Applicable before the Financial Aid Determination Date (FADD).

If you are changing your major, the change must be completed by the Major Change Deadline for classes in your new major to be eligible for aid that semester. If you missed this deadline, your classes may not be eligible for aid.
