To receive
financial aid under the programs authorized by Title IV of the Higher Education
Act (HEA) as amended, including College Work Study, Perkins Loan, and
Stafford/SLS loans, a student must maintain satisfactory academic progress as
described in Satisfactory
Academic Progress in section VII.A.. Federal regulations require that such
institutions measure such progress at least once a year. Students who are
correcting deficiencies in a manner prescribed by the department (or program)
chair or who are granted extensions will ordinarily be eligible for financial
aid under Title IV of the Higher Education Act. A student who is not
maintaining satisfactory progress, and whose inadequate progress is not judged
to be attributable to mitigating circumstances, is ineligible to receive
financial aid from the aforementioned programs. For more on this and other
financial aid policies, Ph.D. students in the 31 Arts and Sciences programs
should consult Financial Matters in section II in the Ph.D.
Student Handbook and Overview
of GSAS Multi-year Fellowship Support in section III in the Ph.D. Student
Handbook. Students in the non-Arts and Sciences should see Financial
Matters in section II in the Ph.D. Student Handbook and consult with their
Ph.D. program.
