Financial Aid Good Standing Status
Students who are meeting all of the SAP Standards are considered in good standing and are eligible for financial aid funding.
Financial Aid Warning Status
For the first occurrence of not meeting one or more of the SAP Standards, the student will be immediately placed on Financial Aid Warning, which means the student is one semester away from losing his/her financial aid eligibility. A warning is intended to alert students to a current deficiency in their academic progress. Students are still eligible for financial aid; however, should a student not meet SAP Standards again, financial aid will be suspended. Students are encouraged to meet with the Associate Vice President of Retention and Student Success to develop an Academic Plan for success. The student will be removed from warning status if all SAP Standards are met at the end of the warning semester. If the student does not meet SAP Standards at the end of the warning period, he/she will be placed on financial aid suspension. Students can only receive financial aid funding for one semester under this “warning” status.
Financial Aid Suspension Status
For the second occurrence of not meeting SAP Standards, student will be immediately placed on Financial Aid Suspension. As long as a student is on suspension, he/she is not eligible for any financial aid funding. Students must pay their educational expenses from personal funds while on financial aid suspension. An Academic Plan developed by the Associate Vice President of Retention and Academic Success will be provided to the student to ensure the student will be able to meet all SAP Standards within a given period of time. Student may appeal this status; however, submitting an appeal does not guarantee approval.
Financial Aid Probation Status
Students who fail to meet SAP Standards, but appeal and have their financial aid eligibility reinstated for one additional semester are placed on Financial Aid Probation. During the probationary period, students are given one semester to satisfactorily meet the SAP Standards. An Academic Plan developed by the Associate Vice President of Retention and Academic Success will be provided to the student to ensure the student will be able to meet all SAP Standards within a given period of time. If standards are met at the end of the probationary period, the probation status is removed, and the student will regain financial aid eligibility for the next semester of enrollment. If standards are not met at the end of the probationary period, the student will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. Students will normally be allowed only one probationary semester during their academic program.
