Paying For Courses

Financial Aid (FA) offers limited assistance to extended studies certificate students. The student must be admitted as degree-seeking at the university in which coursework is taken, and once admitted, FA will only pay for extended studies coursework after the student has enrolled in a minimum of 5 credits of non-extended studies coursework in the semester that extended studies courses are taken. There are other options available to students when it comes time to pay the bill for coursework. A student can pay for the courses themselves, apply for employer assistance or GI benefits, or they can take advantage of specially created scholarships to ease the financial burden. Listed below are links to departments and agencies that may offer assistance in helping students pay.
