<p>How does taking a 5th year and financial aid work?</p>
<p>Under what conditions is one allowed to take a fifth year?</p>
<p>I’m a transfer staying for a 3rd year (5 years total school) and it was no different. Financial aid covers me until one semester after my spring quarter (I won’t be using it anyways). If you want a definite answer, call the financial aid office to get the real info on your case. They can look at your account and tell you what will happen exactly.</p>
