2019-2020 Maximum Timeframe 150% Waiver Application
Deadline for Submission: Noon on the first day of classes (for the semester you’re applying for)
Federal regulations prohibit a student from receiving federal student aid (Pell Grant, SEOG, student loans and work-study) if they
have attempted more than 150% of their degree requirements. For example, if 60 credit hours are required to graduate in a degree
program, a student becomes ineligible for federal student aid after the semester in which they attempt the 90
th
credit hour (60 x
150%=90). Our records show that you have reached or exceeded 150% of your degree requirements. You may apply for a waiver to
your federal student aid ineligibility by completing this form.
Attach a DETAILED statement explaining how you accumulated so many credits in excess of 150% of your degree
requirements, your educational goals, and an explanation of why you believe you should remain eligible for federal student aid.
Attach a copy of your current degree audit.

Above is my plan for graduation, as developed with my academic advisor. I will take the courses as outlined above in order to
graduate by the date listed above (list all courses required for graduation). I understand that if I modify this plan to take different
courses or to change my major that this waiver will no longer be valid and I must notify the Financial Aid Office in writing. I
understand that if I withdraw from, stop attending or fail to complete any of the courses (W, Z or F grades), I will lose my
financial aid eligibility permanently at Hudson Valley Community College. Any incomplete (I grades) must be changed BEFORE
noon on the first day of classes for the semester you’re applying for. I also understand that if my degree has core courses, these
courses require grades of “C” or better in order to maintain eligibility for this waiver.
