If your credit load is other than 15 credits per semester, budget figures will need to be adjusted accordingly. Additional costs may sometimes be added to a student's budget. Return to top of page Continued Financial Aid Eligibility Financial aid is granted one year at a time. The student must reapply for each subsequent year in which consideration is desired. At the University of Maine at Fort Kent, students receiving financial aid are expected to maintain full academic standing and matriculant status as described in this University catalog.
Students also have a maximum time-frame in which to complete their academic program.
At the end of each academic year, each student's academic standing is reviewed to determine if the minimum requirements are being maintained. In the event that the student fails to meet the minimum requirements, the student is placed on Financial Aid Probation. A student in this category may receive financial aid for their next semester of attendance but must complete the designated number of credits with the corresponding GPA by the end of the probationary semester. Students placed on Financial Aid Probation or Suspension may appeal, in writing, to the Director of Student Financial Aid. A student wishing to appeal the Financial Aid Director's decision may do so, in writing, to the President.
