The Information Request Form appears when the information the student provided was incomplete or inconsistent and the student's eligibility could not be calculated. The student must correct or verify all information in each questioned field on the SAR and return the document for additional processing. The SAR provides a wealth of information to assist in the completion of the application process and serves as a tool for managing student loans while in school. Take a few minutes to read it. Standards of Academic Progress Academic progress is a requirement for all students receiving federal, state, or institutional financial aid.
Measurement is conducted at the close of the spring term of a full academic year.
Degree credits earned during summer sessions can be added to your yearly total to meet credit requirements. Consistent with federal regulations, in order to receive aid, you must be making minimal progress regardless of whether you have previously received aid. Students who are not meeting the minimum requirements are notified of their deficiency. If you fall more than 6 credits behind the minimum academic progress standard you may be eligible for one year of additional financial aid through a special appeal process. The appeal process is carried out by contacting the Dean's Office at your college, or by writing to the Office of Financial Aid for specific instructions.
