Waiver of Eligibility Standards for State Awards
Students who fail to meet state standards for either pursuit of program
or satisfactory academic progress may request a waiver of these standards
that will allow them to continue to receive award payments for the succeeding
semester. When such a waiver has been granted for failure to make satisfactory
academic progress, the student is expected to use the semester to advance
to the level he/she could not achieve without the waiver. The waiver may
be used if the student fails in pursuit of program, or fails to make satisfactory
academic progress, or fails by both standards. However, pursuit of program
and satisfactory academic progress may not be waived separately for different
semesters.
Students are eligible for only one waiver as an undergraduate student (not one for each institution attended) and one waiver as a graduate student. However, the granting of such a waiver is not automatic; it is intended only to accommodate extraordinary or unusual situations.
Students are eligible for only one waiver as an undergraduate student (not one for each institution attended) and one waiver as a graduate student. However, the granting of such a waiver is not automatic; it is intended only to accommodate extraordinary or unusual situations.
The waiver process must include an assessment of the reasons for a student's failure to meet the established requirements for good academic standing, and the decision to grant the waiver must be based upon a reasonable expectation that the student will meet future requirements.
The waiver may be obtained from the Office of Student Accounts.
