- You may only enroll in required courses needed to complete your program plan.
- You must complete your program plan before you reach 150% of the credits needed to
graduate.
- This 150% of required credits is referred to as the Maximum Time Frame, or "MTF" for
short.
You can determine your MTF by looking at how many credits your program requires for
graduation. Multiply the number of credits by 1.5:
Required Credits x 1.5 = Credits eligible for aid.
Examples:
- If your program requires you to earn 90 credits to graduate, then you cannot receive
aid for more than 135 credits (90 x 1.5 = 135).
- If your program requires you to earn 45 credits to graduate, then you cannot receive
aid for more than 68 credits (45 x 1.5 = 68 rounded).
We include the following in your MTF limit:
-
All college-level credits (above 100)
-
Credits you took that were not required for your program
-
All attempted credits, which include grades of W, V, S, U, and X
-
Credits you transfer to Edmonds from another school
- All Transcripts that is attached to your student file.
Note: Once you graduate from a program, your MTF resets, and you can work on another program
without your previous credits counting toward your MTF.
If you plan to work on two programs at the same time, you must notify us so we can do a separate calculation for both programs.
