Withdrawal (Official and Unofficial)
Depending on the circumstances of a withdrawal, a grade of “W”, “I” or “F” may be assigned which will impact SAP. The Office of Student Financial Aid also reviews all student withdrawal information to determine if a return of funds is required. Learn more at Withdrawal and Leave of Absence.
Regaining Eligibility
Students not meeting SAP may be denied financial aid. Eligibility may be reinstated in one of two ways:
- Achieving the required (qualitative and quantitative) standards over time.
- Appealing the SAP denial. See Appeal Process.
