I. RULES AND REGULATIONS
The following rules apply to all financial aid recipients:
Aid is limited to eight consecutive semesters from the date of enrollment, except for approved 5 year programs of study (such
as Arts/Engineering) or by special permission of the Committee on Undergraduate Financial Aid.
Financial need is reviewed annually to ensure aid eligibility, as determined by the Office of Financial Aid in conjunction with
federal, state and university guidelines, reflects the current financial situation. In order to maintain federal and institutional
grant eligibility from one academic year to the next, students must continue to demonstrate financial need. Changes in
circumstances such as a sibling(s) enrollment in undergraduate college, changes in household size or changes in income may
th
result in a change in financial aid eligibility. Complete renewal applications are due to our office by April 15
of each year.
Students must make progress toward their degree by enrolling and passing no fewer than 12 new credits per semester
and 24 credits per academic year and be in good standing, maintain a minimum grade point average of
2.0 each semester. Students not meeting these minimums may appeal to the Committee on Undergraduate Financial
Aid. The “Petition for Review of Financial Aid Eligibility” can be found online at
Students must be enrolled in no fewer than 12 credit hours per semester in order to maintain institutional grant eligibility.
Students are expected to apply to their state grant program and any private scholarships for which they might be eligible.
Students are required to notify us directly and immediately upon receiving any private scholarships, including funds from any
employer. These resources may result in an adjustment to the financial aid award. Receipt of state or federal grants or
scholarship will result in a one-for-one reduction of any institutional need-based grant assistance.
Late filers are at risk of not being aided.
Overpayment cases will be referred to the US Department of Education.
If you have been selected for verification by the Federal government, schools are required to obtain the requested information
under the financial aid program rules (34CFR, Part 668).
Additional information on aid eligibility may be found in the Lehigh University Course Catalogue.
