Renewal of Awards

The Financial Aid Office reviews awards for returning students upon receipt of the FAFSA for or enrollment in the upcoming academic year. Returning students should expect their financial aid for the upcoming academic year to be renewed, provided they continue to meet the eligibility requirements for each aid program. 

The grade point average (GPA) requirements to meet satisfactory academic progress (SAP) for federal and UT financial aid coincide with the University’s undergraduate retention standards (see the Regulations on Academic Warning and Dismissal sections in the Academic Policies and Procedures chapter of this catalog).

Students must meet minimum cumulative GPA and completion standards to remain eligible for federal and UT financial aid. These requirements are discussed in detail in the following sections.
