Satisfactory Academic Progress

As stated by the United States Department of Education, a student must maintain "satisfactory academic progress" to establish continued eligibility for financial aid funding. As required, the Office of Financial Aid reviews all financial aid recipients for the appropriate academic progress to determine renewal eligibility once annually (at the conclusion of the spring semester). Failure to maintain academic progress will result in the loss of financial aid funding until eligibility is re-established by completing the appropriate course work and/ or achieving the appropriate grade point ratio (GPR). Inquiries regarding satisfactory academic standards may be addressed at the Office of Financial Aid.
