AWARD CRITERIA

Financial Assistance Awards are based on the following requirements; non-compliance with these requirements may significantly alter or eliminate eligibility for assistance.

• Acceptance by the University into an eligible program.
• Full-time enrollment. Financial Assistance may be available at reduced levels to those enrolled less than full-time.
• The applicant is not in default on any federal student loan.
• The applicant does not owe a repayment on any Federal Pell or Federal SEOG grant.
• Maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress as defined by the University for financial assistance purposes (see Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy later in this chapter).
• The Office of Financial Assistance has been informed of all awards expected by a student from parties outside the University.

ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS

For financial assistance purposes, an undergraduate or graduate student must generally be enrolled in a degree program at least half-time (six or more credit hours in a fall or spring semester). Some programs are limited to students who are full-time (12 or more undergraduate credit hours in a fall or spring semester or nine or more graduate credit hours). Please check individual program descriptions for enrollment requirements.
