Denied Financial Aid Because of 182 Credits.

[ss20ts]

180 is the maximum number of credits for financial aid, and transfer credits count against it.  Every school must set a policy on what their limit is, and this is UMPI's.  You can find this under any school's Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy.  That's the downside to recommending people take all these alternative credit routes and transfer in a bunch of unneeded credits.  They will disqualify you from financial aid.

LINK TO UMPI POLICY

I had over 180 transfer credits and received financial aid at UMPI without a problem. The OP didn't answer many of the questions asked so who knows what really happened.

I don't see people saying to transfer in a bunch of unneeded credits. I see people inform posters about what exactly they need for their UMPI degree. UMPI accepts pretty much every credit one has ever completed, but that doesn't mean that they're applicable to a degree program.
