High need students receive a 100% discount on the cost of a course. Students of medium and low need receive a 50% discount. A student’s level of need is determined by the Financial Aid Office and shared with the Office of Physical Educational & Recreation, who will notify students of their eligibility.  In order to receive the discount, students must pass the course. If a student registers for a class and does not complete the course, they will be charged and held responsible for the full cost of the course.
