Reminders
- The student receiving financial aid at ABAC will receive aid for the total number of hours enrolled at ABAC and/or the transient institution only after receipt of a completed Agreement provided by the transient institution.
- The student should be aware that not all institutions enter into an agreement for transient study. The student is responsible for contacting the transient institution prior to attending to verify that the school will enter into an agreement with ABAC. Otherwise, transient hours will not be considered in determining financial aid eligibility and potential award amount.
