Full-time attendance timeframe
A time frame usually means 9 full-time quarters of attendance for a 90 credit program (100 level classes and above) for an Associate Degree. Baccalaureate Degree students will be allowed an additional nine quarters for the junior and senior years. Attempted credits are counted even when they do not show on the grade transcript.
Part-time attendance time frame
Time frame is based on the number of credits completed compared to the number of credits attempted. It is not impacted by less than fulltime enrollment.
Credits earned from other schools
Transferred credits will count toward the overall financial aid eligibility and timeframe. Grades from transfer credits are not included in the cumulative grade point calculation.
Classes covered by financial aid
Financial Aid only covers classes which count toward the eligible program of study at Green River. Certificates with fewer than 24 credits cannot be covered. Students wanting to drop classes should do so prior to the start of the quarter as dropping classes will affect eligibility, and students may owe a repayment of grant funds.
Program change exception
Time frame will be recalculated twice when students make a program of study change. It will also be recalculated when a student completes a degree or certificate and returns.
Warning: If you change your program of study and cannot complete your new program within the original 150% timeframe, you will lose eligibility for financial aid (aside from the program change exception listed above).
