Required minimum hours for scholarship or financial aid(Required)

Students who receive financial aid (federal or other funding sources) may be required to enroll in a minimum number of hours. Students are responsible to know whether they are subject to a minimum number of hours and to comply with that requirement. Attempting, after a semester starts, to correct this lack of hours may not be possible. This may have funding, or other, implications.

I know the minimum number of hours required by my funding source, and my course selection equals or exceeds that number.

I do not know if my funding source requires a minimum number of hours. I acknowledge that I will bear the full responsibility of this.

I do not have a funding source that may require a minimum number of hours.
