Financial Aid
All transfer courses from accredited institutions are considered toward academic progress.
Courses funded through a consortium agreement are included in determining academic progress and attempted units. Up to 30 semester units of remedial courses will be accepted in determining eligibility.
FINANCIAL AID REINSTATEMENT
If your eligibility is terminated, you must meet the following requirements to re-qualify for the following semester: Enroll in at least six units and
Complete 67% of your attempted units
Achieve a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA.
Reinstatement is not retroactive, and you will not receive aid for any semester that you are ineligible.
APPEAL PROCESS
An appeal must be submitted to the Financial Aid Department with appropriate documentation, or it will not be processed.
Appeals for reinstatement are granted only if extraordinary circumstances are beyond the student’s control and for which they could not plan. These must be documented in writing.
Also, there must be evidence they will make satisfactory progress in the future. Students approved for an appeal may not appeal a second time as appeals are only approved once per lifetime.
Students are notified by email of the decision. If the appeal is approved, the student will be placed on “Probation” status for a specific period.
FINANCIAL AID PROBATION
A financial aid probation period allows a student, who does not meet SAP but has successfully petitioned, to continue to receive aid.
An educational plan is required for a student on probation. The educational plan must be developed to ensure that a student will meet SAP. If a student does not adhere to the requirements their appeal will automatically be void.
