Once financial assistance has been discontinued, it will be reinstated provided:
The student has successfully met Satisfactory Academic Progress (https://www.villanova.edu/university/office-of-financial-assistance/policies/satisfactory-academic-progress-policy.html) as of the end of the last academic year in which they attended Villanova; and
The student has requested reinstatement in writing.
Reinstatement is not automatic. The student is responsible for making certain that the grades and credits completed have been properly posted to the academic transcript with the Office of the Registrar prior to requesting reinstatement of financial assistance.
Students are encouraged to file all financial assistance application forms by Villanova University's established deadline so that once reinstatement has been achieved, he or she can be considered for assistance as quickly as possible.
Students Returning After a Year or More
If a student previously left the university, they are not exempt from the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy and they will be reviewed for Satisfactory Academic Progress prior to reinstatement of their financial aid.
Students failing Satisfactory Academic Progress are required to appeal their status with the Office of Financial Assistance. The student must submit The Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal Form, along with an academic plan that is completed with their academic advisor or department Dean. The academic plan must indicate what actions the student will take to ensure successful completion of the semester.
If the appeal is granted, the student is placed on financial aid probation for one semester. The student’s academic status will be reviewed after the semester to determine if the student successfully made Satisfactory Academic Progress. Failure to fulfill these requirements will result in discontinuation of their financial assistance.
