An undergraduate student in the External Bachelors of General Studies Program must complete the following agreement prior to receiving Federal Pell Grant
and/or Stafford Loan. Payment is released to the student based on enrollment and submission of a first assignment in each course identified in this agreement.
Please read the following Release of Payment Information before printing the Agreement
Release of Payment Information
Students are asked to submit two agreement forms for an annual award (33 weeks) to be made. For a student enrolled in the XBGS program, an academic year is 33 weeks with
two-15 week periods of instruction, as specified in the Agreement form. Each 15 weeks is a payment period and there are 2 payment periods in the academic year.
The academic year begins on your official date of enrollment. A student must successfully complete an academic year in 33 weeks. Although a school must define an academic year, a
payment period for a student in a non-term environment has not ended until the successful completion of 12 credit hours. However, the school’s definition of the academic year is 33
weeks, therefore, 12 credit hours must be completed in a payment period and 24 credit hours in an academic year or 33 weeks. If you do not successfully complete 12 hours in your
first payment period, you have not met the requirement for a 2nd payment. Also, if you do not complete 24 credit hours in your academic year (33 weeks), no future payment can be
made until you complete this requirement at this university, possibly at the student’s expense. No extension can be made for a payment period where Pell Grant is concerned; however,
a student may request that a loan period be extended on a case-by-case basis. The request must be made in writing and no loan period can be longer than 12 months. The official date
of enrollment for financial aid purposes is when courses are entered on the system by the Admission & Records office.
