Academic Standards of Progress
Federal regulations governing federal financial aid programs stipulate that in order for a student to continue to receive financial aid funding, the student must maintain satisfactory academic progress, as defined by the institution. For further information, contact the Office of Financial Aid.
Each semester you receive financial aid, you will be required to complete 66% of the units for which you receive federal, state, and institutional financial aid funds. In addition, you must earn a grade point average of at least 2.00 each semester financial aid is received.
Any student, who, at the end of the academic year, fails to maintain satisfactory academic progress, may be placed on financial aid probation for one academic year. At the end of the academic year, if the student has failed to maintain satisfactory academic progress, s/he is ineligible to receive financial aid, including student loans.
Monitoring Academic Enrollment/Satisfactory Academic Progress
Verification of your enrollment will be made prior to all disbursements. Therefore, you must be enrolled for the semester for which you plan to receive your financial aid award. Also, your academic records will be reviewed at the end of each academic year to determine if you are maintaining, and progressing toward your educational goal. Be sure to complete the units for which you receive financial aid funds, and maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.00 for each semester financial aid is received. If you become academically disqualified, you are automatically disqualified from receiving financial aid.
