• Federal regulations require that a student complete the requirements for one undergraduate degree within a 150% time frame. 为了在这150%的时间内监测令人满意的学业进展, we have assumed that 130 hours are required for an undergraduate degree; therefore, 195 hours attempted would constitute the maximum allowable hours in pursuit of an undergraduate degree. 援助 may be granted for up to 195 hours of course work provided those courses are required for completion of a degree and the student remains within 195 hours attempted.
