Federal Financial Aid Guidelines for AGE Students

Students who are in the AGE program and awaiting admission into the Nursing or Radiography program should note the following information regarding federal financial aid:


150% RULE

You must complete the program of study within 150% of the required credits.

Example: If a program is 64 credit hours, you must complete the program within 96 credit hours. To avoid jeopardizing your financial aid, you can:

1. Limit taking courses to those that only transfer into the Nursing or Radiography program.
2. Graduate from the AGE program before starting the Nursing or Radiography program.

For more information or clarification, contact the Office of Financial Aid and Veterans Affairs.

Additional Information

Enrolling in the courses listed is NOT an admission requirement for the Associate Degree Nursing program nor a requirement for the Radiography program. It is NOT a requirement to graduate from the AGE program in order to be admitted into any of the degree programs listed.

Affiliating clinical agencies may require a criminal background check and drug screening as a prerequisite for clinical learning experiences. Positive results can result in the clinical agency denying the student access to clinical practice in the facility. Any student who is denied access to any clinical facility will not be allowed to progress in the Associate Degree Nursing program or Radiography program.
