Tech on Track
A purpose of Tech on Track is to help students finish their degree program faster by focusing on the completion of coursework tied directly to their program of study. Timely degree completion also reduces student costs, including debt a student may accrue.
If you are an undergraduate student enrolled in a minimum of 12 credit hours or a graduate student enrolled in a minimum of 5 credit hours, within your degree program each semester, you will remain eligible to receive the full financial aid package.
Your Degree Works audit will be the best resource for you to use to determine whether your courses are eligible for aid.
