Financial Aid Ineligibility
Financial aid applicants or recipients will be declared ineligible for financial aid for any of the following reasons:
- Defaulting on a student aid loan received while in attendance at any postsecondary educational institution.
- Failing to repay a federal or state grant overpayment.
- Failing to meet standards for satisfactory academic progress.
- Having already attempted in excess of 150% of the hours needed to complete one's program of study.
Students declared ineligible for financial aid because of violation of any of
the conditions may request a status clarification from the Director of Financial
Aid.
APPEALS
Student may appeal their ineligible status for financial aid by indicating in writing to the Financial Aid Office the following:
(a) the reasons why he/she did not achieve the minimum academic requirement. Unusual circumstances such as an extended illness or death in the immediate family may be considered, and
(b) how the problems which resulted in the deficiency have been resolved. The Financial Aid Officer will review the appeal and determine whether the financial aid cancellation is justified. The student will be advised in writing or in person, of the decision.
A student wishing to appeal the decision of the Financial Aid Officer may do so to the Vice President for Student Development Services. The decision of the Vice President of Student Development Services is final.
REINSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL AID
Students who have defaulted on a loan or who have failed to repay a grant overpayment must provide the Financial Aid Officer with documentation to indicate these matters have been satisfied with the respective agencies. Students who have been declared ineligible for financial aid because they failed to meet standards for satisfactory academic progress must successfully complete the appropriate amount of course work at their own expense to bring them into compliance. They may then appeal for reinstatement to the Financial Aid program.
