<p>I’ve completed all my courses required for my Psych degree. </p>

<p>However, I’ve recently had a change of heart and wanted to do Optometry school. This means I will have to take several pre-reqs that I haven’t taken and it will probably take me another year. </p>

<p>Currently I am still enrolled as a student, taking classes and I’ve changed my expected term of graduation to next Fall. </p>

<p>I’ve just applied for FAFSA and it’s asking if I already have my BA. Do I already have my BA since I’ve already completed my pre-reqs for my Psych major, or do I not since I am still enrolled as a student? Hoping it’s the latter so I can still receive financial aid!</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Have you physically received a Bachelor’s? Have you actually graduated? I don’t think you have a Bachelor’s.</p>

There’s your answer. Until you graduate, you do not have a BA degree.</p>

<p>Until you petition to graduate, you do not have a degree. It is possible to graduate and continue to take classes, but this does not apply to you.</p>
