Warning and Probation

The policy for Financial Aid Warning and Probation is as follows:

1. Students who fail to achieve the required academic progress commensurate with the longevity of their degree program and their academic level within that degree structure will be given a Financial Aid Warning for one academic period i.e., one disbursement period.
2. Students who fail all their subjects in any one academic period will be put on Financial Aid Probation, if they successfully appeal the suspension of Financial Aid.
3. Students who have been given a Warning and subsequently meet the academic progress requirements in the following academic period will return to normal Financial Aid (SAP) standing.
4. Students who have been given a Warning and do not meet the academic progress requirements in the academic requirement next academic period will not be eligible to receive US Federal Financial Aid. Students must successfully appeal the suspension to be placed on US Financial Aid Probation and become eligible to receive aid for the next academic period.
5. Students who have been placed on Financial Aid Probation and fail to meet the academic progress requirements will have their next Financial Aid disbursement suspended and will be ineligible to receive aid until such time as they achieve the required academic standing.
6. Students may appeal their suspension of aid, via written appeal to the UTS Financial Aid Administrator. Students who appeal will be considered by the US Financial Aid Administrator then, if necessary, subsequently by the US Financial Aid Appeals Committee. All appeal findings are final.
7. Students, who regain eligibility following a period of US Federal Aid suspension, must reapply for the resumption of US Financial Aid.
8. Students, who regain eligibility following a period of US Federal Aid suspension, and resume receipt of US Financial Aid, are automatically on Probation for the first academic period of eligibility.
9. Students who transfer into a new academic program will also transfer with any SAP warning or sanction, and will still need to meet the specified criteria in the new program before re-establishing eligibility to receive aid.
