Federal regulations [34CFR 668.8(k) and (l)] mandate that programs not leading to a degree, and all the courses
within the program are not fully transferable to a higher degree, can only partially be paid by federal student aid.
A specific federal formula determines the number of credits allowed to be paid by financial aid. At SCC, those
programs and the number of credits eligible for federal financial aid are:
Program | Number of Credits in the Program | Number of Credits Eligible for Financial Aid | Number of Credits Not Paid |
---|
Practical Nursing | 37 | 25 | 12 |
Based on federal regulations, the Practical Nursing program has determined the following courses are not eligible for financial aid:
General Education Requirement – Speech or Written Communications (3 credits)
HLTH 1030 - Structure and Function of the Human Body (4 credits)
HLTH 1011 - Introduction to Nursing as a Career (2 credits)
LPNS1118 – Holistic Nursing I (4 credits)
So, what does this mean?
If you enroll in one of the above-mentioned diploma programs, federal financial aid will not pay for the entire
program. You will be responsible for the tuition and fees for the number of credits listed in the “Number of Credits
Not Paid” column.
Please refer to the SCC catalog for current
program requirements.
