Regaining Eligibility to Receive Title IV Funds
Regaining Eligibility to Receive Title IV Funds
To regain eligibility, students should meet with a retention specialist or student success coach in the College of Undergraduate Studies for guidance on what courses at B-CU or an another institution would be most appropriate to regain GPA or pace of progression to meet standards. Students who are denied must be able to show that they are capable of maintaining at least a 2.5 or better GPA for two consecutive semesters before financial aid can be reinstated.
- Pace of progression: The student should successfully pass transferable courses at an external institution and transfer those credits back to Bethune-Cookman University. Transfer credits are included in the pace of progression calculation.
- GPA: The student should re-take failed courses and pass additional courses at B-CU at their own expense. Transfer hours are not included in the GPA calculations.
- Re-admitted: The student must take six (6) credit hours at his/her own expense, either at B-CU or another institution for one semester showing an earned GPA of 2.5 or higher and 100% pace of progression (passing all courses), as documented in official transcripts.
