As space allows, a limited number of applicants may be admitted to the EWCNM program as part-time students. They must meet all EWCNM admission requirements and course prerequisites for enrollment in the program. In addition, a part-time student on Federal Financial Aid must be enrolled at least half-time (10 Credits) each semester unless the student has fewer credits remaining to complete the program or is making-up previously failed or missed courses. Part-time students receiving Federal Financial Aid must complete the program within sixty (60) months. All other part-time students must complete the program within seventy-two (72) months. Since the curriculum has been designed as a coordinated whole, courses must be taken in an established sequence and in specified combinations. A part-time student may still attend classes three or four days, or evenings each week, but for fewer hours than full-time students. Tuition for part time students is calculated on the number of credits per semester for which a student is enrolled. Graduation requirements may change over time in response to meet new national accreditation standards and other factors. Therefore, part-time students are required to meet the graduation requirements in effect at the date of their graduation.
