To maintain eligibility for financial aid, a student must make academic progress towards their degree. Once the requirements have been met for the student’s degree, that student will lose eligibility for further funds, even if they choose to stay in school for additional semesters and not graduate.
Our office will measure your academic progress annually, after the spring semester grades have been posted, as mandated in Federal Regulation HEA 484(c). Failure to meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards (for all terms enrolled, not just those terms that aid was received) may result in loss of financial aid eligibility.
