Financial Aid Warning and Probation

Warning

Students that do not meet the above guidelines will initially be placed on Financial Aid Warning. A student assigned a Warning will be notified by email at their ATC student email account. The student may continue to receive financial aid for one subsequent semester under this status. SAP standards must be met to continue eligibility. Students placed on financial aid warning have one semester to meet satisfactory academic progress standards or the financial aid office will place the student on financial aid exclusion.

Exclusion

Students who do not meet SAP standards under the Warning status at the end of the subsequent semester will be placed on Financial Aid Exclusion. Students on Exclusion are not eligible to receive financial aid but may appeal this status. See the Appeals section below.

Probation

Students who were placed on Financial Aid Exclusion may choose to appeal the exclusion. If the appeal is approved, the student is placed on Financial Aid Probation status. A student on Financial Aid Probation may receive financial aid for one subsequent semester. A student on Financial Aid Probation may be placed on an Academic Plan that may require the student to meet certain terms and conditions as determined by the retention coordinator. At the conclusion of the Financial Aid Probation semester, the student must be meeting SAP standards or be meeting the requirements specified in the Academic Plan.
