This rule includes transfer credits. Continued eligibility for financial aid is evaluated at the end of each term (Fall, Spring and Summer). If a student has not made satisfactory progress in his or her cumulative academic record at the completion of a term according to the standards noted above, their financial aid will be placed on a warning for one term. Students who fail to meet satisfactory academic progress at the end of their warning term will normally be denied financial aid for the next term. Students may appeal suspension of aid decisions by writing the Financial Aid Appeals Committee within four weeks after notice of lost eligibility. Successful appeals will allow the student one additional term of aid eligibility and may include an academic plan developed for the student to help them successfully progress towards degree completion. If the student meets the standards of their academic plan, their probationary period may be extended for three terms.
