Maximum Time Frame Requirement:

A reasonable length of time for the completion of a program is defined as no more than 150 percent of the normal time to complete a degree program.

Example: If your degree requires that you complete 120 credit hours, a reasonable length of time will be 120 credit hours x 150% = 180 credit hours. Your maximum time frame to receive financial aid is your first 180 attempted credit hours (15 semesters).
