Financial Aid Warning/Disqualification
The Financial Aid & Scholarships Office will evaluate each financial aid recipient’s academic progress at the end of the fall and spring semesters and summer session. Each evaluation will include a GPA review, an assessment of the Pace of Progression calculation, as well as Maximum Time Length standard. Students placed on financial aid warning or disqualification will be notified as to his/her change in status.
Financial Aid Warning: Students will be placed on financial aid warning for one semester if they earn less than a 2.00 cumulative GPA for all courses attempted and/or do not meet the Pace of Progression calculation. Financial aid will be continued during this warning semester.
If, at the end of the warning semester, a student satisfactorily completes the Pace of Progression calculation with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00, they will be removed from financial aid warning. Students not completing sufficient units to meet the Pace of Progression calculation requirement and/or the minimum GPA requirement during the warning semester will be subject to disqualification from financial aid.
Financial aid disqualification: Financial aid recipients will be disqualified from financial aid if, for two consecutively enrolled semesters they earn less than a 2.00 cumulative GPA and/or do not meet the Pace of Progression calculation.
Financial aid recipients will also be disqualified from financial aid if they exceed the Maximum Time Length standard.
