SFS – Financial Aid Termination and Establishing Re-eligibility
Possible causes for financial aid termination:
- Changes in enrollment status
- Withdrawal
- Failure to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress or other requirements
- Default on a federally funded student loan, failure to repay a grant overpayment or any other financial obligation to the University
- Academic or administrative suspension
Re-Establishing Aid Eligibility
Before aid eligibility can be re-established, students must meet the qualitative and quantitative requirements as set forth by the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy. This may require the student to attend another college or university to raise their GPA and meet the necessary hours for progression. Students who are not suspended by the University may continue without any financial assistance.
Appeal Procedure: If academic deficiencies were the result of unusual and extenuating circumstances, students may explain those circumstances to the Financial Aid Appeal Committee. Appeals must reach our office no later than two weeks prior to the beginning of an academic year. Appeals for prior semesters are not considered. Students will receive written notification of the committee’s decision. If the appeal is denied, students may request a personal hearing with the committee. The decision of the Financial Aid Appeal Committee is final.
