1996-1997 Academic Catalog

Information How to Re-establish Eligibility When a student is denied aid because of lack of academic progress, additional courses at Cedarville must be taken at the student's own expense. This will be necessary until the minimum cumulative grade point average and the required minimum credit hours needed meet the academic progress criterion. In all cases, each student, upon completion of these requirements, must schedule an appoint– ment with the Financial Aid Office to dete1mine his or her future eligibility for federal assistance. Method for Appeal Students who have been discontinued from financial aid have a right to appeal and can do so by written notification to the director of student financial aid. All appeals must include substantive reasons for failure to comply with the provisions of this policy, and all extenuating circumstances must be suppo1ied by documentation. The director of student financial aid will respond by letter to each appeal and either approve or disapprove the student's continuation of financial aid. Further appeals can be made to the Financial Aid Committee and to the Vice President for Student Services, if required.
