PROCEDURES FOR STUDENTS WITH GPA AND UNIT DEFICIENCIES
If it is determined that a students GPA is below a 2.0 (3.0 or graduate students) the student will be required to complete a Required Advising Form for Financial Aid with an advisor before any aid can be awarded. Any student reaching a seven-unit deficiency will become ineligible for financial aid but shall have access to the appeals process (See Section IV A.1). Students with a major or taking units for a major will be expected to meet with an advisor in the major department. If the Academic Advising Center (or the EOP or Admissions offices, where applicable) verify that the student’s advisor in the major department is unavailable, the student may meet with a general advisor for the advising and signature described above. In such cases a copy of the signed form will be sent by the signer to the student’s major department. The student will be required to meet with a major advisor for additional consultation and possible adjustment to the student’s class schedule. This form signed by the major advisor as an indication of final approval must be returned to the Financial Aid Office in order for the student to be eligible for subsequent financial aid. Students who are undeclared will meet with an advisor in the Academic Advising Center or in the EOP Office if they are EOP students. The advisor will assist students with strategies regarding how to improve the GPA. These strategies will be outlined on the Required Advising Form for Financial Aid. The Advising Form will then be signed by both the advisor and the student before being returned to the Financial Aid Office. Once the agreement is returned, the financial aid check can be disbursed. Student progress in reducing grade point deficiencies in accordance with the Required Advising Form for Financial Aid will be monitored at the end of the Spring Semester of the subsequent academic year.

In addition, the Senate recommends that the Academic Advising Office and the Financial Aid Office develop a form to be sent to the student’s major department, in the case where faculty are not consulted prior to preliminary approval of a student’s program.
Carried unanimously by the Faculty Senate, May 11, 2000.
