AFTER CENSUS NUMBERS
IMPACT ON STUDENTS FINANCIAL AID Students are required to meet satisfactory academic progress in order to qualify for aid. If a student receives an F grade, it’s possible they won’t meet SAP status Not meeting SAP results in not receiving FA The FA appeal process isn't fun Not dropping students may result in students losing aid and needing to appeal.
ADDITIONAL INFO While the student is appealing they are not receiving aid and may not be able to purchase books, food, basic needs This puts a student at a disadvantage at the start of a new semester Not dropping the student results in the student receiving an F which then may cause the student to not meet SAP and lose all their FA. Not dropping the student causes unnecessary burden of losing aid and needing to appeal.
