To the extent of any remaining student aid eligibility you can get unsubsidized and subsidized student loans. I started my second time as a freshman, which meant not transferring in all credits immediately, going half-time, and using CLEP/DSST later to achieve sophomore status and further eligibility. I was not eligible for state aid or Pell the second time around.
6 credit minimum. Less aid for half-time, but that helps you preserve aid for summer classes.
Don't discount unsubsidized loans until you see your award, particularly as a half time student. You can always turn down an unsubsidized award. You probably know already that unsubsidized does not mean "private".
I see the previous reply relating to two majors as relevant only in the event you plan on a triple major this time around. From your post I gather that is not the case.
The first time around I did have three majors, but that has never been mentioned as a potential pitfall for getting my loan this fall.
Note
If you are a vet ages 35-60 and you go to a community college and have expired gi bill check out the VRAP program--I get 1586 per month but now have to go full time.
