Financial Aid Information for Dual Credit Students | MCTC

Financial Aid Considerations

Your grades affect not only your high school and college GPA, but also your financial aid and scholarship opportunities after high school.

To receive financial aid in college, you will need to complete the FAFSA and maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) according to the following standards, which are mandated by the federal government:  

  • Pass at least 67% of the credit hours you attempt
  • Maintain a 2.0 GPA or higher
  • Do not attempt more than 150% of the credit hours required for your program

If you don’t meet these standards, you may not be able to get federal financial aid.

 

KEES regulations require you to be on track to graduate. Maintaining a 3.0 cumulative GPA is required for full KEES award.

Yes, the grades you earned as an MCTC Dual Credit student will be sent to your school to be added to your school transcript. As a Dual Credit student, you will also have an MCTC transcript.
If a student decides they want to drop a Dual Credit class, they will need to meet with their high school counselor to complete the paperwork. Based on the timing of the request, the student will still be responsible for the tuition of the class and fees. Failure to pay the student account will result in a financial hold being placed on the student account. This hold will prevent the student from registering for future classes until paid in full.
As soon as the student is enrolled in the course the high school will verify the student and the class. Then the student will set their preferences by applying for their KHEAA scholarships. Once this step is completed, KHEAA will review and approve the scholarship and send it to KCTCS, and then the scholarship will be sent to MCTC to be applied to the student account.
