I haven’t reached the time limit of my financial aid. Why do I have to file a Credit Limit Appeal?

Updated October 18, 2022

It could be one of several reasons why you need to file a Credit Limit Appeal (formerly known as a Timeframe Extension Appeal).

  1. You Changed Your Major
    If you have changed your major from a certificate to a degree program, you may need to update your student file. You should be sure to update your major with the Enrollment Services Office if you have recently switched majors.
  2. You Already 欧洲杯决赛竞猜app_欧洲杯足球网-投注|官网ed a Bachelor’s Degree
    If you have already earned a bachelor’s degree, you will have to file a Credit Limit Appeal if your declared major is one of the following:

    • Associate of General Studies (ASG)
    • Associate of Arts/Oregon Transfer (AAOT)
    • Associate of Science/Oregon Transfer-Business (ASOTB)
  3. You cannot complete within 150%
    Financial aid will pay for 150% of the number of credits required to complete your degree or certificate. For example, the Oregon Transfer Degree requires 90 credits, so you are eligible to receive financial aid for 135 credits (90 credits x 150% = 135 credits). If at any time the Financial Aid Office determines you are approaching your limit or that cannot complete your degree or certificate within 150% of the number of required courses, your financial aid will be denied and you will have to file a Credit Limit Appeal.
