2003-2004 Academic Catalog

210 Transfer Students Transfer students who have never attended Cedarville University will be treated as new students. After completion of the probationary period, the transfer credits plus the credits received at the University and the cumulative grade point earned will be the evaluating factors to determine if progress is evident, based on the current satisfactory academic progress policy. 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 associate 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 supported by documentation. The financial aid committee meets and decides on each appeal and notifies the student of the decision. If a student is dissatisfied with the decision, he/she can appeal to the vice president of enrollment manage- ment. Student Rights 1.
