Hours are based on the combined total hours at The University of Mississippi and other institutions. The cumulative GPA is based on course work at The University of Mississippi only. Undergraduates are no longer eligible to receive aid once they have attempted 190 total hours. Satisfactory academic progress is checked at the end of each spring semester. Students failing to meet the standard are placed on financial aid suspension beginning with the next fall term.
Students placed on financial aid suspension are ineligible to receive any federal student aid funds.
Students who fail to maintain satisfactory academic progress may submit an appeal online to the Office of Financial Aid citing any special or mitigating circumstances they believe should be considered. Students submitting successful appeals are placed on financial aid probation and allowed to receive federal student aid for one semester. Each successful appeal includes academic requirements that must be met to receive aid beyond the one semester. Students denied aid for failure to meet these satisfactory academic progress requirements may re-establish eligibility once they meet the requirements. Scholarship and state grant programs have differing requirements for continuing eligibility.
