Step 5 - Maintain Your Funding
To maintain your financial aid award, continue to make satisfactory progress toward your degree requirements and remain in good academic standing. Review our Satisfactory Academic Progress Policies for further information.
Most financial aid programs require at least half-time enrollment (6 credits for undergraduate students; 3 credits for graduate students) each semester. Please see the individual financial assistance programs on this site for minimum credit requirements.
Renew Your FAFSA Every Year
Need-based financial aid awards are not automatically renewed each year. To maintain eligibility, be sure to file your FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov as early as January 1.
Return to Step 2: Apply for Aid for deadlines and further information.
Review Your Financial Aid Information
You may review your financial aid awards and status at any time in your WebExpress account.
If you have any questions during the process, please Contact Us.
How to Keep Your Financial Aid Award for Future Semesters
Any kind of aid you receive includes certain requirements to remain eligible and to continue to receive the funds you have been awarded. You should review the information on the Financial Aid web site, in the Financial Aid Handbook, and on your award letter to be sure you understand the requirements for your specific award(s) and any consequences should you not meet those requirements.
If You Change Your Schedule It Could Change Your Award
One requirement that can affect your aid almost immediately involves making changes to your schedule. Schedule changes can require an adjustment to your aid at the time you make the change and may cause you to have to repay funds. You want to be careful if you audit a class, add or drop a class/classes, or if you withdraw from all your classes. For more detailed information see the Financial Aid Handbook and the document “Return of Title IV Funds” on the “Policies and Information” page of the Financial Aid website.
