Federal financial aid assists with funding for up to 60 eligible credits of your AA degree (36 credits of general education and 24 credits of
electives). If your pathway exceeds 60 credits (e.g. transfer courses, prerequisites, or other course work not included in this plan), you may
need to plan for alternative methods of payments, which may include out-of-pocket payments. See an advisor to discuss your options.
This document is an example of a term-by-term plan. Students’ specific plans may look different due to multiple factors. For full admissions details, refer to the catalog of the transfer
institution or university listed in the Intended Program section. If you do not plan to transfer to that institution, work with your advisor to customize your plan.
