How does my medical leave affect my eligibility for subsequent financial aid, and what happens to the financial aid I have received for the semester/year?
A medical leave does not affect your eligibility for financial aid in the future, and the semester(s) you are on leave do not count as a semester(s) of financial aid eligibility used. Lifetime loan aggregate limits, however, still apply and the amounts that you retain for an unfinished semester will still be counted toward this aggregate limit. The Business Office determines how much, if any, of your current financial aid must be repaid to the financial aid programs and how much financial aid you are eligible to retain. Please be certain to discuss with the Financial Aid and Business Office any money you may owe (aid to be repaid) as a result of taking a MLOA. You may or may not owe, depending on your individual situation.
