Financial Aid Warning/Suspension

If a student fails to meet the minimum requirements outlined in the Satisfactory Academic Progress table, the student will be placed on financial aid warning for the subsequent term of enrollment. If by the end of the financial aid warning term, the student does not meet the minimum requirements for satisfactory academic progress, the student will be placed on financial aid suspension and will not be eligible for financial aid reinstatement until the minimum cumulative requirements of the policy are attained. Institutional grants awarded to students later placed on financial warning or suspension will also be reevaluated. Financial aid warning and suspension are calculated and applied independently from academic warning or academic suspension.

Notes: (1) Transfer credit hours accepted by Lindenwood University will be included in the calculation of satisfactory academic progress and will count as both “attempted” and “completed” hours.

(2) Students wishing to apply for and receive Title IV assistance must meet specific academic progress requirements in order to maintain Title IV financial aid eligibility. Failure to maintain minimum academic progress will result in a student being ineligible to receive Title IV financial assistance following one financial aid warning term (semester or quarter).
