Special Students

• Special Students may only qualify for Federal Stafford Loan consideration. Eligible special students must be enrolled in UWM certification programs or taking prerequisite courses for admission to a UWM degree/certification program.

Consideration is restricted to specific eligible categories: Please refer to Academic Progress Standards.

• Documentation of enrollment in an eligible category is required from the school or college administering the program.
• Students should document eligibility on a "Special Student Enrollment Verification" form.
• This form is available upon request from the Financial Aid Office. Special students (except those with a EDCS classification) must submit this form to the Financial Aid Office. It can also be downloaded from the printable forms section of this website.
• Students must enroll for at least 6 credits, which must be documented on the Special Student Verification Form.
• Students completing prerequisites have 12 months of eligibility only.
