• If after the spring semester your total cumulative GPA and pace of completion do not meet the standards outlined in the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy, you will be ineligible for financial aid for the summer term and all future terms. Should this occur, you will have the right to appeal this decision. Notification of this process is soon after the end of the spring semester.
• All students can consider using a payment plan with Student Accounts.
• If you plan to utilize ONLY veteran benefits and no other financial aid during the summer term, you are NOT required to submit this application, but you will need to submit the Summer 2022 Veteran Benefit Certification Request (F4).
