The financial aid office evaluates the student’s academic progress at the end of every semester. Failure to meet any one of the three Standards of Financial Aid Satisfactory Progress (SAP) will result in unsatisfactory financial aid progress and the student will be placed on Financial Aid Warning for a period of at least one term but not to exceed two consecutive terms of enrollment. Students who are on financial aid warning can still receive financial aid at GCC and their progress will be evaluated at the end of each period of enrollment. If your GPA remains below 2.0 at the end of the warning period or you fail to complete at least 67% of your enrolled courses for that term, you will lose financial aid eligibility. Eligibility may automatically be reinstated when the student earns a GPA of at least 2.0

Whenever a student is placed on Financial Aid warning they will receive a copy the financial aid warning form. The financial aid warning form will remind them of the Standards of Financial Aid Satisfactory Progress and guide them with the steps they can take at GCC to remain in good standing.
