Award Memorandum - Satisfactory Progress and Enrollment Requirements

Awards are based on your full-time attendance at Radford University.  Classes taken for audit do not count toward your total hours for financial aid eligibility.  If funding shortages occur, full-time student will be given priority for these funds. 

All financial aid is awarded subject to acceptance or readmission to the University as a regular degree-seeking student.  A student is eligible for financial assistance if she/he maintains satisfactory academic progress.  This progress is reviewed at the end of each spring and/or summer term for the succeeding academic year or at the time of loan certification. This policy requires that students complete a portion of the credit hours for which they enrolled, as well as meet a minimum grade point average.  This policy is available in the RU Financial Aid Office, the RU Financial Aid website (http://finaid.asp.radford.edu/sap.html), and the Undergraduate Financial Aid Brochure.

Enrollment is reviewed at the end of schedule adjustment.  Student’s awards will be adjusted each semester based on the number of hours for which the student is enrolled.  Only classes taken at Radford University are included in the number of hours that determine semester financial aid eligibility unless prior approval is obtained from the RU Financial Aid Office.  Class attendance is reported to the Registrar’s Office twice during the semester.  Students who are reported as not attending classes may jeopardize future eligibility for financial assistance and may have to repay funds or a portion of funds received.
