qualified students should have an opportunity to pursue
educational objectives, regardless of financial resources.

by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA)
and
have the results submitted to the Financial Aid Office. In
addition, the student must enroll in an eligible curriculum and
make satisfactory academic progress in the program of study.

guidelines must cover all periods of enrollment regardless of
whether or not you have received financial aid in the past.
