• If you are receiving financial aid and make any changes in the number of credit hours of enrollment during the semester you must report it to the Financial Aid Office. You should check with the Financial Aid Office before dropping classes or totally withdrawing. Doing this after the semester begins could result in the loss of some or all financial aid.
If your family’s financial situation has changed in the past year please come visit or contact the office to learn about your options, which could include an Income Appeal.
Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid Recipients (SAP)

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) qualifications for Financial Aid Recipients standards are detailed on the Financial Aid website. Appeal forms for exception to SAP must be discussed with and signed by an Academic Advisor and submitted to the Financial Aid Office. More information about this policy is available in the online College Catalog.
