Course Repeat Policy
Financial Aid Office Policy on Repeat Courses

Effective July 1, 2011, the Federal Department of Education revised its policies regarding repeat course eligibility for financial aid.  Updated guidance was given on 8/26/11. Massasoit has rewritten the college’s financial aid Repeat Course Policy accordingly.

College policy allows a student to repeat a course in which they received a C or better with department approval and to repeat a course multiple times in which a grade of C- or less is received.   The Financial Aid Repeat Course Policy is not the same as the College policy, but is based on new federal repeat course regulations.

A student may receive financial aid to repeat without limit, any failed or withdrawn course until a passing grade is received.

Once a passing grade is received in a course, financial aid can be used one time to repeat that same course.  Financial aid cannot be used to repeat this same course an additional time.

Example:  A student takes MATH 101 and receives an “F”, retakes it and receives a “D-”.  The student may receive financial aid to take the course one additional time. (The third time they receive an “A” – Yay!)

Example: A student takes BIOL 201 and receives a “D”. The student may receive financial aid to take the course one additional time. The second time they take this course they receive a “C-”. They may not receive financial aid to repeat this course an additional time.

A student may not receive financial aid:
  • to repeat any course for which they received transfer credit (“T”) unless it is a BIOL course which has expired (taken more than 7 years ago).

  • to repeat a course in which they have an active “I”(Incomplete). If a student wishes to receive financial aid, they need to make up the work and receive a grade for the course, or wait to receive an “F” before they retake it.

Regardless of when we determine a course is ineligible for financial aid, a student’s aid may be adjusted. Please think carefully before withdrawing from a course or repeating a course.
