Financial Aid for Remedial and Repeated Courses

Remedial Courses

BYU-Idaho will award federal financial aid for these four remedial courses offered by the university:

  • ENG 106
  • ENG 109
  • MATH 100B
  • MATH 101 

A student will be limited to 30 attempted credits of remedial courses for federal financial aid. These courses are not considered program applicable or as electives for financial aid purposes, but these courses will be:

Repeated Courses

A student may receive federal financial aid only once to retake a previously passed course (D- or higher grade). A withdrawal (W) or an unofficial withdrawal (UW) does not count as attempts and should not be counted in determining eligibility for Federal Aid.

Examples of Ineligible Repeat determination:

1. A student takes & repeats the same course as follows:

  • 1 st attempt = final grade of D
    • Student may retake the passed course and still receive federal aid
  • 2 nd attempt = Withdrawal (W)
    • Withdrawal does not affect the student's eligibility to receive federal aid when retaking the course again.
  • 3 rd attempt = Unofficial Withdrawal (UW)
    • Unofficial withdrawal does not affect the student's eligibility to receive federal aid when retaking the course again.
  • 4 th attempt = final grade of F
    • Student did not pass the course, but they have used up their retake attempts; they will not receive federal aid for another attempt.
  • 5 th attempt = final grade of C
    • Student passed the course but previously used up their retake attempts; they will not receive federal aid for this attempt.

2. A student takes & repeats the same course as follows:

  • 1 st attempt = final grade of F
    • Student did not pass the class, so they may retake it and still receive federal aid.
  • 2 nd attempt = final grade of C
    • Student passed the class, but are able to retake and still receive federal aid.
  • 3 rd attempt = final grade of F
    • Student did not pass the course, but they have used up their retake attempts; they will not receive federal aid for another attempt.
  • 4 th attempt = final grade of F
    • Student did not pass the course but previously used up their retake attempts; they will not receive federal aid for this attempt or any retake after.
