Can you take any classes to retain HOPE scholarship?

My kid is finishing her first year at Perimeter and has had HOPE pay tuition for the first two semesters. In the process of this year she's decided to switch majors and has signed up for classes that will transfer to UGA with this new major. GSU does not offer this major, but she can take a full two years of classes to fulfill a transfer. I'm getting conflicting info doing a search, but does it matter for HOPE that these classes don't officially follow her Associate's Degree? What threw me off is this message when I was looking to pay tuition for Summer classes: "You have registered for a course(s) not included in your program of study and will not be covered by federal aid." Is HOPE tied into this?
