It is an option if you can pay for it yourself. It's just not an option for poorer people, who probably need it the most.

A student enrolled at least half-time (which a 6-8 year version of a full time 4-year program would be) is eligible for most of the same kinds of public aid as full-time students, though for some programs (unsubsidized Stafford loans are an exception, IIRC) the aid amount may be reduced, generally roughly proportionately to the courseload compared to full-time status.
