Financial Aid eligibility question

[Chris100185]

<p>I understand that if I have a bachelor's degree I'm not eligible for most forms of financial aid. Does that still apply if the school I attended was not accredited? The school in question is Westwood College Anaheim. I know credits from that school don't transfer so as far as the state school system is concerned that education doesn't exist. When I was filling out my FAFSA the school wasn't even listed. All that was there was the Denver campus which is the headquarters. Does the schools non-accredited status affect my ability to get financial aid?</p>

<p>Currently attending Irvine Valley and I have the board of governor's fee waiver, but that does only apply to community colleges and I am hoping to transfer to CSU Fullerton which makes me nervous as far as expenses are concerned if I won't be able to get much if any aid.</p>

<p>Then the school is listed, it just not list the satellite campuses. Just like if you had gone to University of Phoenix or did an online degree, it would most likely only list the headquarters location. </p>

<p>Sorry, you still have a bachelors. It does not matter where it comes from.</p>

<p>this is how FAFSA phrases the question:</p>

<p>

First Bachelor’s Degree by July 1, 2013?</p>

<p>Yes means the student already has a bachelor’s degree or an equivalent degree from a college in another country, or will have one by July 1, 2013.</p>

<p>No means the student does not have a bachelor’s degree or an equivalent degree from a college in another country and will not have one by July 1, 2013.</p>

<p>The response cannot be blank.</p>

<p>How did you pay for this first degree (did you receive any financial aid)</p>
