Additional Appeal Information: Second Associate Degree

A review for a new degree after graduation will be completed. Students are limited to two associate degree programs during their lifetime at Del Mar College. Approval for a second associate degree is not guaranteed.

The Financial Aid Services Office will notify the student of the findings and recommendations. A student whose appeal has been granted will be placed in an academic plan or on probation, and all courses attempted must be passed with a 2.0 GPA 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 coursework 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 coursework will be counted toward the maximum timeframe.
  • 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.
