When is a Student No Longer Eligible for Financial Aid?
Students lose their federal financial aid eligibility when: They fail to make/maintain satisfactory academic progress. Students are expected to complete (get a grade in) a minimum number of credits each year and to maintain a minimum grade point average each year to be eligible for aid for the following year. Students who have been declared ineligible for future aid due to unsatisfactory academic progress have an appeal process which they may follow in an attempt to re-establish financial aid eligibility. Contact your financial aid advisor for more information and procedures. They are found to owe a repayment of financial aid or are not in good standing on a student loan. These students will lose their eligibility for the current year. Their academic load drops below half-time (less than 6 credits per semester for undergraduates, less than 5 credits per semester for graduate/law students for any program except Pell Grant).
