If you do not meet the minimum GPA and hours earned, you will be placed on Financial Aid (FA) Probation. While on FA probation you must meet the above requirements or you will be placed on FA Suspension. You will remain on probation until the minimum adjusted GPA has been met. You are eligible to receive FA while on FA probation but not on FA Suspension.

If you are placed on FA Suspension, you have the following options:

You may pay for tuition with a minimum of six hours in fall or spring semesters or three hours in the summer term, earn the GPA and complete the minimum number of hours on the above chart, and you will earn back FA. (Does not apply to students over the maximum hours.)
You may appeal your FA Suspension online through ULink. Additional requirements may apply if your appeal is approved.

FA maximum hours apply for the following:

Bachelors degree is 188 registered hours*
Second bachelors degree or teacher certification is 210 registered hours*
Masters degree is 54 graduate hours*
Doctorate degree is 108 graduate hours*

*All courses on your transcript count toward registered hours whether or not financial aid was received. Hours earned prior to academic amnesty will be counted as hours earned for classification.
