Satisfactory Academic Progress for Federal Financial Aid Programs

The College requires graduate students to maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 in order to remain in the program. This same academic standard will be applied to a student’s eligibility to participate in the federal student aid programs described below. Graduate students must also pursue their degrees by, in general, completing the courses for which they register. Graduate students must complete at least 60 percent of all credits attempted in order to continue to receive aid in subsequent semesters.

Students may appeal, in writing, to the Office for Financial Aid the loss of financial aid eligibility due to unsatisfactory academic progress.
