Program Eligibility

All of the academic programs listed in the University Catalog that lead to the completion of a bachelor's or master's degree are eligible for Title IV funds. These programs have been approved by, the University, the UT System Board of Regents, and the THECB. As long as a student is enrolled in one of these programs, they can receive Title IV funds.

It is the responsibility of the Office of Financial Aid to determine that a student is actually enrolled in a program that qualifies for Title IV funds. This is done before any funds are awarded or disbursed. All programs are measured by credit hours on a semester basis. The Registrar's Office is responsible for making sure that all classes taught meet the appropriate guidelines for duration and contact hours as set by the THECB. The academic calendar is set by the Registrar's Office and printed both in the University Catalog and in the corresponding semester schedule. At the completion of a program the Registrar's Office is responsible for awarding the appropriate degree. To earn a degree, a student must meet all of the criteria listed in the University Catalog, as well as have the approval of their academic advisor and department chair. The Faculty Senate must recommend the student be allowed to graduate and the President confers the degree to the student.
