his/her degree plan requires. Students who exceed the time frame, semester-hour
limit will no longer be eligible for financial aid. Developmental courses do not count
toward the 150% limit. However, a student is also limited to receiving financial aid
for 30 semester hours of developmental coursework. Withdrawals, failures and
repeated courses count toward this 150% limit. Therefore, we must have a
transcript from each institution attended, whether the student received financial aid
there or not. If a student is denied financial aid because he has exceeded the time-
frame limit, a “Degree Plan Audit” may be submitted by following the instructions in
the appeal section of this section.
FINANCIAL AID WARNING
If, after the first semester of receiving financial aid, a student does not meet either
the minimum hours completion requirement
OR
the GPA requirement, he/she will
be placed on
financial aid warning.
Student placed on financial aid warning status
WILL
be able to receive financial aid for the next semester of enrollment.
FINANCIAL AID SUSPENSION
If, after the second semester of receiving
federal
financial aid, a student does not
meet either the minimum hours completion requirement
OR
the GPA requirement,
the student will be placed on
financial aid suspension
. Students placed on financial
aid suspension status
WILL NOT
be able to receive further financial aid until the
student meets the requirements to have his eligibility reinstated. These
requirements are described in greater detail within the appeal policy section of this
catalog.
REGAINING FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY
A student who loses eligibility for federal financial aid because they did not meet the
minimum hours completion requirement must make up, at his/her own expense,
the number of hours that was deficient for the semester in which they were placed
on suspension by earning at least a “C” in each course taken to remove the
suspension status.
EXAMPLE: A student enrolled in and received aid for 12 hours, needed 9 hours to
meet SAP requirements, but completed only 6 hours. Student must make up 3 hours
at his/her own expense to regain eligibility for financial aid. Hours taken in any
subsequent semester can count toward making up a deficiency. However, repeated
courses cannot be used to make up an hour requirement deficit. Hours transferred
in can be considered in determining if a student has regained eligibility. A student
who lost eligibility prior to this policy will be required to follow these current
guidelines to regain eligibility. If a student was placed on suspension prior to this
policy, and this policy would not have placed them on suspension, then they may
automatically be removed from suspension.
A student who loses eligibility because they did not meet the GPA requirement must
bring his/her cumulative GPA up to 2.0, at his/her own expense, before regaining
eligibility.
