Financial aid (full aid)

[ss20ts]

UMPI would be a better option for financial aid as you are technically able to take a full course load within Your Pace and get the max aid value. COSC, Excelsior, TESU and any butt in seat would be a bit harder as you need to take a few courses and these are not competency based, so you can't speed through them.  I would stay the UMPI course... don't worry, about taking 2-3 terms, financial aid is there for you...

With UMPI financial aid is for the entire semester not just a single term in the semester. It's not based on the sessions but the semester. There's 3 semesters a year at UMPI so the financial aid package could be spread out to cover the 3 semesters. You'd need 4 courses per semester to be full time. This could be 4 classes in 1 session, 2 classes in session 1 and 2 classes in session 2, or 3 classes in 1 session and 1 class in 1 session. Any combo of 4 per semester gives you the number of credits required to receive a full financial aid package.
