Suspension (financial aid and academic)

You may be suspended if you fail to meet satisfactory academic progress financial aid standards set by OSF, or academic standards set by your college or program. Both types of suspension are described here.

Financial aid suspension

If you do not attain the required cumulative GPA and/or credit completion ratio during your probationary term, you will be placed on financial aid suspension. While on suspension you are not eligible for most financial aid programs (the exceptions include private loan programs such as CitiAssist, Collegiate Funding Services, Educaid, Campus Door, U. S. Bank No Fee Educational Loan, Gap Education Loan, Wells Fargo Collegiate Loan, and outside assistance that do not require SAP).

You may attend the University, at your own expense, until you attain the cumulative GPA and cumulative credit completion requirement. To regain financial aid eligibility your record must reflect that you have met these requirements. If you failed to meet these standards due to unusual circumstances, you have the right to appeal your SAP suspension status.

You will be placed on immediate suspension if, during your probationary term, you receive financial aid and you stop attending all of your classes before the drop/add period or receive a 100 percent tuition refund any time you cancel all of your classes for that term.

Academic suspension

If you have been suspended from the University, you are no longer eligible for any financial aid. Once you have been readmitted, you must complete the financial aid SAP appeal process. Your financial aid status and eligibility will be determined based on financial aid SAP standards through a review of your academic record.
