2024-2025 Graduate Catalog

Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid

Academic Progress Policy

Academic progress toward a program of study is required for all graduate students receiving financial aid from federal and state sources. Students must meet both a qualitative and quantitative standard to maintain eligibility for financial aid. In general, graduate students are required to maintain a 3.0 grade point average and complete credits requirements are evaluated at the end of the Spring semester. Additionally, students must not exceed the maximum time frame established by the specific graduate program. The entire Satisfactory Academic Progress policy is available on the Office of Financial Aid website.

Students classified as not making satisfactory academic progress will be notified and be given the opportunity to appeal the decision with the SAP Committee, for consideration of any extenuating circumstances that affected their academic progress.

Contact the office with any questions by calling 908-737-0400, e-mailing finaid@kean.edu  or visiting the website: http://www.kean.edu/offices/financial-aid.
