Non-Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy

A student is considered to not have met the Satisfactory Academic Progress standard when their cumulative grade point average is below a 2.0 and their completion ratio is below 75%.

Financial Aid Probation:
Following the first semester in which the standards of academic progress are not met, the student will be placed on financial aid probation. The student must sign a probation contract to regain financial aid eligibility.

Financial Aid Suspension:
The student who fails to meet the standards of academic progress during the probationary semester will be placed on suspension and lose financial aid eligibility. Students who are suspended may regain eligibility, by becoming compliant with the satisfactory academic progress requirements. A suspended student may submit an appeal to the Financial Aid Appeals Committee.

Students that have completed more than 96 hours, have an Associates and/or Bachelor’s degree will be excluded from probation. Therefore these students will be placed on financial aid suspension.

Financial Aid Appeals Process:
Should mitigating circumstances be a factor in unsatisfactory academic progress, an appeal may be made to the Financial Aid Appeals Committee for consideration.

Appeals, along with any desired documentation must be submitted through the Financial Aid Office. In the event that the written appeal is denied, a student may personally appear before the committee for reconsideration by submitting a written request, which includes a current daytime phone number. The student will be notified of the time and location for appearance before the committee for final consideration of the appeal. No further appeals are permitted until the student's academic status (i.e. semester completion, grade change) has changed.

Appeals must be made in time for the committee to meet, decide, and send the results to the aid office prior to the end of the payment period. A favorable ruling that arrives after the close of a payment period cannot lead to retroactive payment of aid for the closed payment period.
