Additional Appeal Information: Second Associate Degree
If a student graduates from DMC and re-enrolls at DMC to pursue another educational program, all developmental courses and academic courses where the student earned grades of "F", "R", "W" or "I" will be excluded from the Maximum Time Frame calculation. Students may request a review by providing a degree plan furnished by their program advisor and submitting it to Financial Aid Services Office for review. The degree plan will be reviewed by Financial Aid Services to determine exactly which credit hours from the graduated program apply to the student's new program of study. Classes from the program the student graduated from, which do not count toward graduation for the new program, will be eliminated from the total. The review for a new degree after graduation is limited to two degree program graduations.
Financial Aid Services will notify the student of the findings and recommendations. Students whose appeal has been granted be placed on financial aid probation and all courses attempted must be passed with a 2.0 or better.
During the Appeals Process, the student must be prepared to pay for expenses such as tuition, fees, books and supplies and/or other educational related expenses from personal resources.
Additional Information:
- There is a limit of 30 credit hours of developmental course work that may be eligible for financial aid. Any developmental hours beyond this 30-hour limit will not be eligible for financial aid consideration. All developmental course work will be counted toward the maximum time frame.
- All repeated course work will count toward the maximum time frame.
- All transfer work, accepted for credit toward their program at Del Mar College, will be counted towards the maximum time frame. Students will be required to have an appropriate advisor evaluate the transfer hours and certify on the DMC Transfer Credit Evaluation Form (TRCR), the number of transfer hours applicable towards their current educational objective. A signed degree plan must also be submitted along with the TRCR. Financial Aid Services will adjust the total attempted semester hours accordingly. All decisions made by the Financial Aid Services are final.
- TEXAS Grant and TEOG awards cannot be appealed.
