Policy Statement

Students will be reviewed for satisfactory academic progress at the end of each payment period.

Policy Procedures

If a student fails to meet either the qualitative or quantitative standard for his/her degree program and classification at the end of the payment period, the following rules will apply:

Institutional Aid

Institutional Aid will be awarded in direct correlation to the student’s academic standing following catalog policies. It is possible for a student to receive institutional aid while not qualifying for federal aid. A student will receive institutional aid during semesters of Academic Warning, Financial Aid Warning, and Financial Aid Probation, but will not receive institutional aid while on Financial Aid suspension, nor after readmission from a semester of suspension. Institutional Aid will be reinstated when Federal Aid Eligibility is reinstated.

Federal Aid

To maintain eligibility for Title IV aid after failing to make Satisfactory Academic Progress, students will be placed on Financial Aid Warning, Financial Aid Probation, or an Academic Plan upon approval of an academic plan.


Failure to follow this policy may lead to disciplinary action.
