Financial Aid Probation

Neumont evaluates SAP at the end of every quarter. Students who do not meet SAP requirements are notified by the institution using their official Neumont student e-mail account within 10 days from the end of the quarter.

For a student who did not meet the SAP requirements at the end of their quarter of financial aid warning, the student will lose eligibility for Title IV/HEA program funds. To re-gain eligibility for Title IV/HEA program funds, the student must submit an appeal (in writing). A successful appeal will be based on the documentation of mitigating circumstances and a determination that the student's situation has changed such that another period of financial aid probation is warranted. The determination will indicate that the student should meet the minimum standards of satisfactory academic progress by the end of the next quarter of financial aid probation or after meeting the requirements of an academic plan. (See Dismissal Appeal section of the Course Catalog). If successful, the student will be placed on financial aid probation for one quarter and:

The institution determines that the student should be able to meet SAP standards by the end of the subsequent quarter; or,
The student agrees to a college and student-sanctioned academic plan—which may include requirements such as taking a reduced course load, enrolling in specific courses, or other requirements—that, if followed, will ensure that student is able to meet the school's SAP standards by a specific point in time.

To meet SAP standards and return to good standing, the student must—at the end of their financial aid probation quarter— meet the cGPA and pace requirements outlined in the SAP table. (“Good standing” is defined as meeting or exceeding all SAP criteria for that evaluation point. See the SAP table.) The student may be placed on financial aid probation once per appeal. The institution will disburse Title IV/HEA program funds to the student while on financial aid probation status.
