Grants
Grants are often called "gift aid" because they consist of financial aid that doesn't have to be repaid. Grants are often need-based with the exception of the Federal TEACH Grant. Grants are provided from the and state government programs. Occasionally, you might have to pay back part or all of a grant if, for example, you withdraw from school before finishing a semester. Our website provides information on the types of Federal and State Grant programs available.
Federal Grants
- Federal Pell Grant
- Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG)

Financial aid payment of Federal grants are dependent upon eligible enrollment. Some courses that are being retaken after previously receiving a passing grade in the course may not count toward financial aid eligible enrollment. Additionally, the cost of attendance will reflect the financial aid eligible enrollment, excluding non-eligible retaken courses. In summary, the following rules regarding repeated/retaken courses are applicable:
- Courses with a grade of F may be retaken and count toward financial aid enrollment.
- Courses with a grade of W/WP/WF/WN may be retaken and count toward financial aid enrollment.
- Courses with a passing grade may be retaken once and count toward financial aid enrollment.
- Courses with a passing grade taken twice will not count toward financial aid enrollment.
- Exceptions include courses that the university defines as "repeatable".
