  3. Satisfactory Academic Progress

  4. Unofficial Withdraws • The dreaded e-mail from our office • We are required to adjust aid back to the date of last academic activity for students who disappear at some point during the semester and earn F’s. • We have 45 days to make the determination. • If we do not receive a response from the e-mail, we have to assume the student never attended. • Once we make that assumption and adjust aid, it is not always reversible if student later proves they attended class.

  5. Aid versus Academics • We try to have students address their academic issues before they come to us with financial aid questions. • Students do not always do this and they are not always truthful with us. • When in doubt, we call the department.
