To receive financial aid, you must be making satisfactory academic progress per financial aid guidelines. In general, there are three basic requirements:

1. Students must pass 75% of credit hours attempted.
2. Student must have attempted fewer than 181 credit hours.
3. Students must have the following minimum cumulative MU GPA:
   • 1.67 if fewer than 60 credit hours
   • 2.00 if 60 credit hours or more

You must also be enrolled in an academic program that leads to a degree in order to receive federal, state, and institutional aid. Students who are enrolled in Easy Access are not eligible for financial aid.

The complete policy is contained in Mizzou’s Undergraduate Catalog.

If you have been denied financial aid due to not making satisfactory academic progress, you may write an appeal letter to the Director explaining your extenuating circumstances.  Please read the SAP Appeal Form for instructions.
