Financial Aid Status. Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress in order to receive financial aid. This complies with the Department of Education ' s determination that students may not receive financial aid based on federal funds if their grade point average falls below the minimum required for more than one semester. In addition, no aid will be granted if a student ' s average falls below the table a second time in another academic year. Students are entirely responsible to fulfill all graduation requirements.
Advisors are available for advice and consultation.
Since curricula may change from year to year, core requirements are determined by the catalog in use during the year in which a student enters. Major requirements will be those in place at the time a major is declared. Students who wish to participate in graduation ceremonies prior to final completion of their degree may petition to do so. Unmet requirements may be fulfilled either through Gordon or off-campus courses preapproved by the department and the Registrar ' s Office. All tuition and fees must be paid in full and in advance or an off-campus course approved before the student ' s name may go on the commencement program.
