保留你的援助 - 新承认

The awarding and release of financial aid (federal, 州和机构)取决于你是否有资格获得经济援助资金. Maintaining eligibility includes demonstrating academic progress; meeting enrollment criteria; understanding how repeated coursework affects you; and much more.

你可以通过注意几件事来确保你有资格获得经济援助, including keeping on track toward graduation.

The Higher 教育 Act of 1965, 修订的, 要求所有高等教育机构为接受联邦财政援助的学生建立令人满意的学术进步(SAP)的最低标准. 在CSULB, these SAP Standards are applicable to all federal, 状态, 以及机构援助项目，目的是为所有接受经济援助的学生保持一致的政策.

什么是SAP?

CSULB有三个具体的标准来衡量学生的学业进步满意度(SAP), 和接收, 金融援助:

1. GPA Standard: Maintain a minimum 2.0累积绩点

2. 进度标准:完成至少67%的累计学分尝试

3. 最长时间框架(MTF)标准:不超过完成学位的规定最长时间框架(基于 尝试单位).

您的SAP状态在每个学期后进行审查，以验证您是否有资格继续获得经济援助. 您将收到一封电子邮件，告知您审查结果-以及对您继续获得援助能力的影响. 

未能达到一项或多项SAP标准可能会影响您是否可以继续获得援助.

Once you have been enrolled for at least one semester at CSULB, you can monitor your SAP status through your MyCSULB Student Center, including how you measure up against each of the three required SAP Standards. Please note that if you do not attend CSULB during a specific semester, but were previously enrolled at the University, we will evaluate your SAP status prior to the awarding – and/or release of funds.

学生 who are not meeting SAP may be able to appeal the decision.  For more information regarding the appeal process, please review our 理解SAP 页面.

In order to be eligible to receive your financial aid funds, there are enrollment requirements that you must meet. All financial aid awards are initially offered based on the expectation of full-time enrollment; a minimum of half-time enrollment is required in order to remain eligible to receive funds from State and CSULB Grants, 联邦贷款, 和联邦勤工俭学. As you add and drop units, your eligibility for various financial aid programs will increase or decrease.

你将在任何学期收到的最终资助金额将基于你的正式注册，以以下方式衡量 大学人口普查, which is the last day of the add/drop period. This occurs at the end of the fourth week of the semester. 在人口普查, CSULB会对所有学生的注册情况进行快照，这将成为您的正式大学注册状态.

审查 大学肄业生uate Aid Programs for details on how your enrollment will impact your specific awards. 

The decision about whether or not to drop a class is an academic issue; however, it is your responsibility to understand the financial implications of this decision. 退课可能会影响你在当前和未来学期的资助资格. Your aid will be recalculated at Census based on your verified enrollment; you may have to return some, 或全部, of your aid for the current semester – depending on your enrollment status. 审查 大学肄业生uate Aid Programs for details on how your enrollment will impact your specific awards

有关联邦财政援助的法律规定，学生必须“获得”联邦财政援助奖励，这与就读学期的天数成正比. In other words, you earn your financial aid as you attend class.

If you completely withdraw from all classes during a semester, 经济援助和奖学金办公室必须根据你“获得”的援助金额重新计算你的援助资格 Return of Title IV Funds policy). 如果你收到, or the school received on your behalf, more aid than was earned, the unearned funds must be returned to the federal programs, which may result in a balance due on your account.
