Retaining Your Financial Aid

Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid

Students who receive financial aid while attending the University must maintain satisfactory academic progress to continue to be eligible for financial aid funding. Progress is measured at the end of each academic year or its equivalent. This measure, and the rules of academic probation for financial aid, may be different from the rules of academic progress and probation imposed by individual academic departments.

For financial aid purposes, a student maintains satisfactory academic progress if he/she:

  • Maintains at least 2.00 cumulative GPA for undergraduates, and at least a 2.50 for graduate students. 
  • Completes at least 75% of the total hours attempted each semester. 
  • Does not exceed 150% of the normal number of credits needed to complete his/her academic program.
