*Student may be allowed up to two consecutive probationary terms of satisfactory academic progress
**Student loses financial aid eligibility
Students will be reviewed at the end of each enrolled term to determine they are meeting the above satisfactory academic progress criteria. If a student is nearing stated credit and GPA requirements, the student will be notified in writing and placed on probation for up to two consecutive terms. Following the two terms, if the student has exceeded the 150% completion requirement and/or has not met the GPA requirement, the student will not be eligible for financial aid for the future term(s), and will be notified in writing of their loss of eligibility. Students may remain eligible to register classes; however, alternative payment arrangements with Student Financial Services will need to be made.
Students who have extenuating circumstances during a period of probation may appeal to Student Financial Services office. The appeal must be filed within 2 weeks upon notification of probation. The Review Committee will then respond to the appeal, in writing, within 2 weeks of receipt. Specific guidelines can be obtained by contacting Student Academic or Financial Services.
