Since financial need is determined by comparing a student`s resources with the cost of attending school, many part-time students who are employed gainfully may not demonstrate financial need, but may qualify for federal student loans.
The federal student financial aid sources (Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work-Study, and Federal Direct Loan programs) require that a student enroll in a minimum of 6 credits per term to be eligible.
The university has extremely limited financial aid funds for part-time students. All application procedures and deadlines applicable to full-time students apply to part-time students.
