FAQs
Q. I'm in a transfer A.A. or A.S. degree. Will I qualify for assistance?
A. Only Career and Technical Education majors (A.A.S., Dental Hygiene, and some certificate programs) qualify for the Transitional Programs. Refer to the list of majors.
Q. What if I am in "General Education" or "Undecided" for a major-Will I qualify?
A. Those are not Career and Technical Education majors, so you would not qualify. If, however, you determine later that you want to be in a Career and Technical Education major, do contact me.
Q. How will I know which program I might qualify for?
A. There are eight different programs currently under the Transitional Services umbrella; however, all are Career and Technical Education Programs. So, first look at your major to see if it is a qualifying A.A.S. degree or certificate program. If it is, then contact me: For more Information, please contact us at (307) 674-6446, ext. 2701; Griffith Memorial Building, Room 110; or email.

A. All students must take a minimum of 6 credits per semester to maintain eligibility (3 in the summer if they choose to attend summer school), and all students must be seeking degrees or certificates.
Q. How much financial assistance can I receive from the Transitional Programs?
A. That depends on which program you are in, what your needs are, and what funding I have available.
Q. I am on financial aid suspension, can I still receive assistance from the Transitional Programs?
