FINANCIAL AID PROBATION

A probationary period is a period of time that is given to a student to improve academic performance in order to retain financial aid.

Probation for need-based awards

If a student does not meet the minimum GPA requirement, he/she will have a two-semester (fall and spring) probationary period (not applicable for senior students).  If senior student’s cumulative GPA is less than 2.7, the financial aid is withdrawn.  Students will be individually advised what minimum current GPA must be achieved during a probation year.  The award will not be continued if a student fails to meet the minimum required GPA two semesters in a row. If student’s GPA is lower than 2.0, financial aid is withdrawn without opportunity for probationary period. If and when the student’s GPA reaches the minimum he or she may reapply.

Probation for merit-based awards

The award will be maintained during 8 semesters in the same proportion to the tuition if the cumulative GPA is at or above 3.2.  If a student does not meet the minimum GPA requirement, he/ she will have a two-semester probationary period.  Students will be individually advised of the minimum GPA to be achieved during a probation year.  The award will not be continued if a student fails to meet the minimum required GPA two semesters in a row.  If and when the student’s GPA reaches the minimum he/she may reapply for only a need-based award. In addition students have to be involved in extracurricular activities and university service.

Probation for Scholarships from Donors

Each Donor has his own GPA requirement (It is written in student's Financial aid letter).
