You should only complete the Program of Study Form if you are a Post-Undergraduate or Graduate Non-Degree student who would like to be considered for Federal Loans. Approved students with this status are eligible only for federal student loans at the undergraduate loan level, ranging from $5,500 to $12,500, per academic year. To be considered for a loan you must be enrolled at least half-time (minimum 6 credit hours per semester going towards one criteria) in one of the following programs:

• a second Bachelor's degree program for which you will receive a second Bachelor's degree
• an Associate degree program
• undergraduate prerequisite course work required for admission to a graduate program (limited to one year’s eligibility over lifetime)
• an elementary or secondary school teaching credential or certification
• an eligible certificate program

A student with a Bachelor's degree who is completing course work for a second undergraduate major is not eligible to receive federal financial aid. Students completing prerequisites for a graduate or professional degree program are limited to one year of eligibility for federal student loans. All students must maintain a minimum cumulative 2.0 GPA and complete 67% of their overall attempted hours. In order to be considered for a federal student loan, you must:

1. Complete the FAFSA
2. Complete the Program of Study Form
3. Students submitting a Program of Study form for the summer term should also refer to www.kent.edu/financialaid/summer for possible additional steps

The Program of Study form must be signed by an academic advisor from your degree granting college. Students taking pre-requisites for graduate or professional work should contact their graduate coordinator.
