Evaluation

An evaluation of academic progress will be done after the end of each semester or when students reapply for financial aid. If you do not meet the requirements, you will be notified via NCC e-mail and messaging within the financial aid portal upon review of grades.

Falling below financial aid academic progress standards

If you fall below any of the three academic progress standards, you will be notified by NCC e-mail and messaging within the financial aid portal. You will be placed into either a warning or a suspension status for financial aid.

1. Warning Status

If you do not meet satisfactory academic progress standards, you will receive a financial aid warning. Once you are in financial aid warning status, you may continue to receive financial aid in the next semester but will be expected to meet the minimum standards by the end of the next semester. Failure to meet the minimum standards after the warning term will result in financial aid suspension.

2. Financial Aid Suspension

Your financial aid is suspended when you fail to meet the minimum Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements for one or both of the following reasons:

  • Your last semester status was
  • Warning status or
  • Probation status and you fail to meet the requirements of an academic plan
  • And you are not meeting the standards of academic progress
  • You have exceeded the maximum time frame limits for your degree and are not meeting the terms of your academic plan
