In order to maintain Financial Aid eligibility, you must understand all policies pertaining to Federal Financial Aid. Please review the policies below to have a better understanding of the specific requirements to maintain financial aid eligibility.
Federal regulations require Embry-Riddle to define minimum standards of satisfactory academic progress to determine your eligibility for financial aid. Embry-Riddle must set certain quantitative and qualitative standards to ensure you are progressing toward degree completion. If you do not meet the Standards of Academic Progress, you will not be able to receive financial aid.
Students who withdraw, receive an “F” for *non-attendance or *non-participation from all of their classes are subject to the Return of Title IV Federal Financial Aid Programs Policy. Please review the Return of Title IV Funds Policy as it contains important information for students who withdraw or *ceases to attend all registered classes with in a term and receive Financial Aid. The Embry-Riddle Return of Title IV Funds Policy and Standards of Academic Progress, in accordance with federal regulations, will determine the amount of financial aid funds to be returned.
Scholarship funds will be reversed in their entirety for any student that drops/withdrawals/audits a course associated with a Worldwide Scholarship. Any balance created from the reversal will be the student’s responsibility.
*If a student ceases to attend ALL registered classes and/or ceases to participate in an academically related activity at any point during their Term of enrollment the faculty will use their discretion to assign an appropriate grade and supporting last date of attendance. For more information please review Student Services & Academic Affairs policies and procedures.
The Department of Education has recently published new regulations which impact students who repeat courses. These repeat courses may impact your financial aid eligibility and awards for Federal Title IV financial aid. In order for a repeated course to count toward your financial aid enrollment status for financial aid purposes, you may only repeat a previously passed course once (a total of two attempts). If you enroll in a previously repeated course for a third time, this course will not count towards your enrollment for financial aid purposes. This rule applies whether or not the student received aid for earlier enrollments in the course.
Examples:
1st Attempt | 2nd Attempt | 3rd Attempt | Is Class FA payable for the Enrolled Semester? | |
Course 1 | F | D | Enrolled | Yes |
Course 2 | C | Enrolled | - | Yes |
Course 3 | D | C | Enrolled | No |
Course 4 | D | F | Enrolled | No |
Course 5 | W | F | Enrolled | Yes |
Explanation of the Above Examples:
Course 1: Yes, these credits are included in the financial aid enrollment because the student is allowed to repeat any failed or withdrawn course until a passing grade is received. Once a passing grade is received, financial aid can pay for the course again. If a grade of A, B, C, D, or F is made on the third attempt; the course will not count again in the calculation for financial aid enrollment.
Course 2: Yes, these credits may be counted, even though it was previously passed, because it is the first time the class is being repeated.
Course 3: No, this course was previously passed and this is the third attempt. Two attempts are the maximum attempts these credits can count toward financial aid enrollment, because the course has been previously passed.
Course 4: No, the class credits are no longer considered for financial aid eligibility because it has been previously passed, and this is the second time it is being repeated.
Course 5: Yes, because this course has never been passed so it may still be counted toward financial aid enrollment.Estimate your cost of attendance and amount of financial aid.
