PROBATION/SUSPENSION
Financial Aid Probation
GPA - Probation
Students who do not meet minimum standards for satisfactory progress will be given one semester of probation. During the probation semester, students will be eligible to receive financial aid.
Hours - Probation
Once a student completes 84 hours attempted at JCJC and previous accredited colleges attended, the student will attain a status of probation regardless of GPA.
Financial Aid Suspension
GPA - Suspension
After the probation semester, students who do not meet minimum standards for satisfactory progress will not be eligible to receive Title IV financial aid until minimum standards are achieved.
Hours - Suspension
Once a student completes 96 hours attempted at JCJC and previous accredited colleges attended, the student will automatically attain a status of suspension regardless of GPA. The student will not be eligible to receive financial aid while on suspension.
Notification of Financial Probation and Suspension
Financial aid standing is calculated at the end of each semester. Students will receive a written notice from the Financial Aid Office indicating probation or suspension status.
Reinstatement of Eligibility and Appeal Procedure
In order to be reinstated on financial aid due to financial aid suspension for GPA, students must attend at own expense and complete at least six (6) hours with a minimum GPA of 2.0 and/or meet the cumulative hours and GPA requirement for satisfactory progress. The preceding statement does not apply to students who are on financial aid suspension for hours. Students will retain the probation status at JCJC.
Students who lose eligibility for financial aid have the opportunity to appeal. To appeal the suspension status because of GPA or hours, students must complete and submit an appeal form to the Director of Financial Aid. The Director of Financial Aid will review the appeal and determine whether the financial aid suspension is justified. Students will be notified in writing regarding the decision of the appeal. If a student would like to appeal the decision of the Director of Financial Aid, a request must be made for the case to be reviewed by the Scholarship Committee.
Financial aid suspension does not prevent students from attending JCJC.
