Ive been told that I have to be making satisfactory academic progress in order to receive financial aid. What does that mean?
The U.S. Department of Education requires that all colleges have a standard in place to insure that students who are receiving federal financial aid are making satisfactory academic progress towards earning their degree. The Financial Aid Office measures your progress at the end of each spring semester to see if you are making satisfactory academic progress. If you are not, you can lose eligibility for financial aid in the subsequent year.
