http://www.bgsu.edu/admissions/scholarships-and-financial-aid.html
(B)
								
			 Policy
Based on a change in your eligibility,
				your enrollment, or an office or agency error, your financial aid may be
				revised at any time. If your financial aid has already been credited to your
				bursar account, you may be responsible for partial or full repayment of the
				funds, regardless of the reason for the adjustment. Financial aid is contingent
				upon many factors, including availability of federal, state, and institutional
				funding. SFA has the right to review, adjust, and cancel a financial aid award
				at any time due to changes in your financial or academic status or your failure
				to provide requested documentation.
As required by federal, state and
				institutional guidelines, revision of your aid package may occur
				if:
(1)
									Your aid was based on inaccurate or false information
			 (including estimated income data or grade level)
(2)
									SFA or another
			 agency made an error in determining your eligibility for, or disbursement of,
			 your financial aid awards.
(3)
									The amount of
			 financial aid awarded to you exceeds your calculated financial need.
(4)
									You do
			 not maintain satisfactory academic progress.
(5)
									You fail to meet
			 enrollment, grade point average, participation, or other requirements required
			 by a specific award.
(6)
									You drop classes or withdraw from BGSU.
(7)
									You were selected
			 for verification and completion of the verification process changes your
			 eligibility. In verification, SFA must check the accuracy of the data you
			 report on your FAFSA (free application for federal student aid).

Current through all regulations
			 passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
								Policy statement
			 and purpose
This policy outlines the scholarship
				appeal process to allow a student to petition to receive his/her scholarship(s)
				after not meeting the minimum cGPA and course load requirements.
(B)
								
			 Policy
A student's cGPA is reviewed annually,
				after spring term, to determine if his/her scholarship(s) will automatically be
				renewed or if the scholarship(s) will be revoked. A student who does not meet
				the scholarship renewal criteria is given the opportunity to appeal the
				decision to suspend his/her scholarship(s) based on extenuating circumstances.
				The student must complete the scholarship appeal form supplying detailed
				information explaining the circumstance and provide documentation to support
				the appeal. Once the appeal is received, the scholarship committee will meet to
				discuss the appeal, and subsequently render a decision to either approve or
				deny the appeal. The scholarship committee has the final authority to determine
				if the scholarship(s) will be extended or denied a student. Decisions made by
				the scholarship committee are conclusive and cannot be appealed.
A student may also complete a
				scholarship appeal form to appeal to use his/her scholarship(s) in the summer
				term or at a less than full-time course load, with the understanding that this
				will count as a full term of usage toward the maximum eight terms of
				eligibility. Students wishing to utilize one of these options must complete a
				scholarship appeal form requesting to use their funds.
(1)
									Scholarship
			 renewal requires the following:
(a)
										Students in cohorts prior to 2138 must maintain two
			 point seventy five GPA and a full-time course load at the end of the spring
			 term.
(b)
										Students in cohorts 2138 or after must maintain a three
			 point zero GPA and a full-time course load at the end of the spring
			 term.

									Students who have attempted twelve or more hours,
			 excluding remedial or developmental courses since high school, at a college or
			 university other than Bowling Green state university, are considered transfer
			 applicants. Transfer students must have a minimum accumulative grade point
			 average (GPA), among all schools, of two point zero or better on a four-point
			 scale. Some transfer students may be eligible for admissions priority,
			 including:
(a)
										Ohio residents with an associate degree, a completed Ohio
			 transfer module, and a GPA of two point zero for all previous college-level
			 courses have admissions priority over out-of-state associate degree graduates
			 and transfer students.
(b)
										Associate degree holders who do not have a completed
			 Ohio transfer module will be eligible for preferential admissions if they have
			 a GPA of at least two point zero for all previous college-level courses.
(c)
										Students who are not enrolled in A.A., A.S. or Applied
			 Associate degree programs but who have earned sixty semester or ninety quarter
			 hours or more of credit toward a baccalaureate degree with a GPA of at least
			 two point zero for all previous college-level courses will be eligible for
			 preferential consideration for admission as transfer students.
Admission to the university does not
				guarantee admission into a specific college or major/program. Students not only
				transfer into the university but also, eventually, into a specific college and
				major/program within the university. Those colleges and majors/programs may
				have additional requirements (including higher GPAs, courses, etc.) to those
				required for admission to the university. Prospective transfer students should
				consult college advisors for advice about curricular planning and about college
				policies that may affect their academic career.

								Policy
Gifts in kind are essential for
				enriching the quality and range of the university libraries' collections. This

				libraries welcomes and solicits such gifts when items support the teaching,
				research, and other collection needs of the university. Such materials are
				useful, enduring additions to its resources. These include books, manuscripts,
				sound recordings, and other objects.
However, in many cases, collection
				managers will not add materials to the holdings for a variety of reasons, which
				may include: duplication of existing titles, poor physical condition of the
				gift, or the materials do not fall under the collection scope of the library.
				Gifts not selected for the library may be sold or recycled for the benefit of
				the library. Additional specific information is found and updated on the
				university Libraries
http://www.bgsu.edu/library/about/GivingtotheBGSULibrary.html
.
BGSU libraries also accept funds for
				the purchase of items, which enhance existing collections and support BGSU
				instructional and research programs. For more information about how to donate
				money, visit our giving opportunities page.

			 hours at BGSU, or if the student's cumulative GPA is in the

				transferred to BGSU, courses taken at another institution may not be used to
				improve a student's GPA at BGSU.
