The U.S. Department of Education mandated a regulation limiting payment of federal financial aid only for courses defined as meeting your degree requirements in your selected program of study. Marshall University has adapted and tested our systems to accommodate and track this requirement. To determine if your classes meet this eligibility requirement, please follow these steps.
