ALT College tips for back-to-school. If you haven't borrowed for school before, you need to complete entrance counseling. To be eligible for student aid, you have to make satisfactory academic progress or keep good enough grades and complete enough classes (credits, hours, etc.), to keep moving toward successfully completing your degree or certificate in a time period that’s acceptable to your school. Visit your school’s career center early and often to get an assist with your career goals.
