Eligibility
Undergraduate students are eligible for financial assistance provided they are citizens or permanent residents of the United States and are enrolled in the University on at least a half-time basis working toward a degree.
In addition, students must maintain satisfactory academic progress and be in good standing in their course of study.
For purposes of determining student eligibility for financial assistance under Title IV, HEA programs, the University establishes, publishes, and applies Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards that meet all federal requirements. To be eligible to receive federal financial aid, a student is required to maintain satisfactory academic progress in his or her course of study according to the University’s published standards. SAP standards are based on cumulative measures of a student’s progress toward degree completion. The Office of Student Financial Assistance is responsible for ensuring that all students who receive financial aid meet these standards. To be eligible to receive institutional funds, a student is also required to maintain satisfactory academic progress toward degree completion.

Students in default on any loan made from a student loan fund at any university or in default on a loan made, insured, or guaranteed under the Federal Direct, Perkins or Stafford Loan, or Federal PLUS Program are not eligible for assistance.
