In order to be eligible for federal, state, or institutional aid, students must make satisfactory academic progress according to the University’s policy. This policy requires a student to have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.00 and to successfully complete a minimum of 67% (2/3) of classes in which the student has enrolled.
All students will be reviewed for compliance with the satisfactory academic progress policy at the end of their first year at WJU and thereafter at the end of every Spring semester. Students who have not met the requirements for satisfactory academic progress will be notified and placed on financial aid probation. Financial aid probation is ineligibility for federal, state, and institutional aid, including scholarships, grants, and student loans.
Students who are placed on financial aid probation may be granted an extension of financial aid based on the appeal process described below if extenuating circumstances occur such as medical problems, family emergencies, a death in the family, or special circumstances as determined by the institution.
Students on financial aid probation may appeal to the Financial Aid Committee for reinstatement of financial aid by completing the Financial Aid Probation Appeal Form, available in the Financial Aid Office. A student who continues unsatisfactory academic progress must appeal for financial aid on a semester basis, for a maximum of two semesters. Financial aid may or may not be reinstated at the discretion of the Financial Aid Committee. After receiving the second semester of financial aid on appeal, a student may not receive financial aid again until achieving satisfactory progress.
