Will financial aid cover more classes that pertain to BS, if I got my Associates?

<p>Hi there,</p>

<p>In December 2012 I will graduate with my Associate of Science degree from a community college. </p>

<p>I plan on transferring to the university here and want to major in Environmental Science.</p>

<p>I didn't know what I wanted to major in when I first started so I took random things that interested me to fulfill the requirements. I know financial aid would cover classes at the university, since I'd be moving on to complete a higher degree. However, if I can take these classes at the same community college that I got my associates, will they be covered?</p>

<p>The classes I can take at community college, for cheaper, that will transfer to university are here: University</a> Transfer Guide by Major | PCC</p>

<p>It's about 65 credits worth, not counting some prereqs I'd have to take like BI 101, 102, etc... Now, I'm graduating this term with the 91 for my associates already. I know I can't finish them ALL here since the university only accepts like 124 transferable credits...but some would be AWESOME. </p>

<p>I guess I'm confused. I wish I would have taken this route in the beginning, but I was undecided on a major. Am I screwed? I don't want to "waste" anymore financial aid, I'm at like 315% of my pell grant already of the 600% limit and have been taking out loans. I'm unsure if there's a loan limit? But I'm aware that my award will be more to accommodate the tuiton increase at a university....</p>

<p>I'm meeting with an academic advisor in a week, financial advisors I meet with are always unhelpful and are in a rush. Thanks in advance for any input!</p>

<p>The maximum a dependent undergrad can borrow is $31,000; an independent student can borrow up to $57,500.</p>
