& Financial Aid

Federal and state regulations require that all students make satisfactory academic progress toward completion of degree or certificate requirements to receive student financial aid.  All prior terms of attempted enrollment, including summer, are considered in determining satisfactory academic progress regardless of whether aid was awarded for the term. 

Failure to meet satisfactory progress standards results in ineligibility for state and federal aid programs (including all grants, loans, campus Work Study, Vocational Rehabilitation, Post-Secondary Childcare, Indian Scholarships, and University Scholarships).  Standards are published yearly.  MSUM reserves the right to withdraw aid at any time if it becomes readily apparent that a student has not maintained satisfactory academic progress.

Students who fail to meet the minimum standards will be notified by letter that they are no longer eligible to receive financial aid.  It is possible for students to be placed on financial aid suspension for failure to meet more than one type of Satisfactory Academic Progress standard.  Students who have not received financial aid in the past are immediately subject to these standards when they apply for financial aid.
