ADVISEMENT FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION
All special education teacher preparation programs require coursework, an assessment portfolio and evidence of knowledge and skills as measured by the COE Performance Assessment Instrument. Variations in programs are dependent upon whether the program leads to a teaching certificate, a masters degree with a teaching certificate, or advanced knowledge and skills for the certified special educator.

Disbursement of Financial Aid
Disbursement of financial aid will be made only if the applicant has completed all requirements for receipt of aid, which includes submission of verification documents, if necessary. Students applying for loan funds must make an acceptance of this award before the financial aid office will process or disburse such funds. Verification of attendance must be attained for classes before aid is disbursed to the student's account. A student's enrollment in sessions that begin later in a semester may cause a delay of disbursement of aid due to verification of attendance in such classes. All financial aid excess checks will be mailed to students at their mailing address in AASU's system after verification of attendance is completed. Aid offered is based on full-time enrollment status unless otherwise indicated, and may be adjusted depending on hours enrolled.
Students who attend off-campus centers are also subject to verification of attendance. Their checks will be mailed after verification of attendance is completed.
Work study funds are earned on an hourly basis and are only paid for work performed. Funds from this program are not available for registration.

What is Half Time vs Full Time?
Full Time for Undergraduates is 12 hours. Half Time is 6 hours.
Full Time for Graduate students is 9 hours. Half Time is 5 hours.\
What is "Verification of Attendance" and why does it affect my financial aid disbursement?
Federal regulations require that you must ATTEND the classes for which aid is awarded. Verification of attendance is the process of having your professor indicate whether or not you have been in attendance. If you are NOT verified in attendance by faculty, your aid may be reduced or cancelled. You should be aware that your registration for classes that begin in the later part of the term also may result in a delay of your financial aid disbursement as attendance cannot be verified until the classes begin. Verification of attendance usually takes place in the first 2 weeks of the class period and disbursement of aid happens in the 3rd week.
