Students are notified by letter regarding the loss of financial assistance. Students have an opportunity to reclaim eligibility by attending one academic term or summer school at Catawba College without financial assistance and significantly improving their cumulative grade point average. When eligibility is restored, financial assistance will be awarded provided funds are available. Prior awards cannot be held while the student is restoring eligibility. Students may NOT improve their cumulative grade point average by attending another college.
Transfer students have the same standards for academic progress as outlined above.
Their eligibility will be based on the student s status at the time of enrollment. The Catawba Achievement Award may be renewed provided the student maintains a 2.5 or better cumulative grade point average. Catawba Scholars Awards may be renewed provided a student maintains a 2.75 or better cumulative grade point average. Endowed and academic scholarships can be renewed with a cumulative GPA of 3.0. Therefore, the maximum time period a student may receive assistance is a total of three academic years or 6 semesters.
