A student must maintain satisfactory academic progress to continue to receive federal Title IV aid. Federal financial aid includes Federal Pell Grant, Federal SEOG, Federal Work-Study, Federal Direct Loans (subsidized and unsubsidized), Federal Direct PLUS Loan and Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loan.
Students should be aware of the impact of failing grades, incomplete grades, course withdrawals, and repeated courses. Students will be reviewed for SAP at the end of every semester. Failure to maintain SAP, according to these standards, will result in the loss of Federal Title IV financial aid until such time as the student is again maintaining satisfactory academic progress. Students may appeal financial aid termination by submitting a completed appeal to the financial aid office. All periods of enrollment are included whether the student received federal financial aid during that time.
