How to Keep Your Financial Aid
Federal financial aid is subject to several conditions. To remain eligible for aid, students must meet the requirements established by the U.S. Department of Education and others. It is important to understand the conditions of your financial aid and to ensure that you are on track to meet eligibility requirements.
If a student fails to begin attendance, withdraws from all classes, or receives all failing grades, any unearned federal financial aid must be repaid, and the student may become ineligible for further financial aid.
Students must promptly inform Student Financial Services of any additional funds received for educational purposes, such as outside scholarships, tuition waivers or third-party payments.
