Financial Aid Issues for 030 Classes

As of July 1, 2012, financial aid will no longer cover any 030 level course. This would affect you if you are registered or have placed into a 030 level course in Math, Reading, and/or English.

If corrective action on your part is not taken, you will have to pay up to $615 out of pocket for a 3 credit 030 level class. If you hope to avoid this out of pocket fee, we suggest the following:

  • Get tutoring
  • Retest on the Accuplacer
  • Place at 060 Level or above

Here’s How:

 Free Tutoring is offered by The Student Academic Success Tutoring Program in SSB 230

  • Accuplacer Math Tutoring: Monday – Friday – 8am – 5pm
  • Accuplacer Reading and English Monday – Thursday from 10am – 3pm
  • Tutoring can be reached at (303) 556-4048

 Retest on the Accuplacer and place into a higher level class.  060 level classes and above are still eligible for financial aid. Call the Assessment and Testing Center, (303) 556-3677, to set up an appointment. They are located in Tivoli 347.

Advising Issues

If you retake the Accuplacer placement exam and test into a higher level course, you will want to drop the 030 course and add the new course. Instructions for doing that in MetroConnect are below, but if you need additional support, you can get that in our registration lab or by making an appointment with an advisor (especially if you have additional questions).
