can you attend 2 colleges? i take criminal justice and want to take massage therapy??

Question

I go to an online college part time called everest online for criminal justice associates, i get financial aid and my loans are through salie mae for school. There is a message therapy course for 9 months I really want to take it, will financial aid cover both? Or would I need another loan? Or can I even do the massage therapy? I emailed the school but its after working hours

please respond if you know

Answer 1

You can do this if you have time, but unless you say otherwise, financial aid will be given to only one school usually. I may be wrong about that... I haven't noticed if you can put more than one school for attendance on your FAFSA.
BUT if you have extra (like I tend to) and get a refund, you could probably use it to pay for the other classes. The massage therapy or the online school may even offer their own types of aid, including grants and scholarships that you could take advantage of.

But if you have time to put into both programs, you are totally allowed to do both. I got a certificate online and attend a live University. I paid out of pocket/with credit for my certificate program, which may also be an option-- payment plans. A lot of programs offer that too.

Good luck!
