Students enrolled in the Mount's Continuing Studies programs may seek assistance through federal and state-funded programs. To qualify for financial aid, students must be enrolled on at least a half-time basis, i.e., at least six (6) credits per semester. Most financial aid will be in the form of deferred student loans, though some students may be eligible to receive federal and/or state grants.
Registering for Classes
Students interested in receiving financial aid need to plan accordingly. Because enrollment status is critical to this process, students should map their coursework on at least a semester basis. For those in the Accelerated Program, this means pre-registering for all courses they intend to take in the semester's modules.
Consortium Agreements
Students who wish to receive aid for courses they are concurrently taking at another institution, or who need to use outside credits in order to attain half-time status, must seek prior approval for the courses from their Mount advisor. Upon receiving such approval, the student should then complete and submit the Mount St. Mary's University Consortium Agreement Form. Federal regulations prohibit a student from receiving financial aid from more than one institution at a time.
