Minimum Fall Semester Progress

Spring awards will be canceled for any full-time student who does not successfully complete at least 8 credits with a minimum 1.00 grade point index (GPI) during the prior fall semester.

Students who do not meet these minimum standards are very unlikely to meet the annual renewal criteria.

Although the Office of Financial Assistance will make every effort to promptly notify students of the cancellation of their spring awards, students are responsible for obtaining their grades and determining if they have met the criteria for continuation of their awards.

Students may appeal the cancellation of their spring semester awards if they expect to receive additional grade(s) or will have any grades changed prior to the first day of classes for the spring semester.

Financial aid will not be reinstated after the first day of classes, even if there are subsequent changes in the GPI or the number of credits completed for the fall semester.
