Return of Federal Financial Aid Based Upon
Total Withdrawal
Students who withdraw from all their classes within 60% of
a semester will be reviewed by the Financial Aid Office to
determine if all or part of any federal financial aid received
must be returned to the federal government.
Satisfactory Progress for Financial Aid
To be eligible to receive federal and state financial aid, Clovis
Community College students must be enrolled in an eligible
program for the purpose of completing an AA/AS degree,
transfer requirements, or an approved certificate program.
Students must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point
average (GPA) of 2.0 and complete at least 67 percent of their
units attempted. Students may not continue to participate
in financial aid programs after they have attempted 90 units
(excluding up to 30 remedial units and all ESL units).
Students who received less than the minimum GPA
requirement or fail to complete at least 67 percent of the
cumulative units attempted, will lose their financial aid
eligibility until they reestablish satisfactory progress. Financial
Aid Progress standards are separate and apart from the
institutional academic satisfactory progress standards.
Students may submit a written appeal to the Financial
Aid Office to continue their financial aid eligibility. The
Financial Aid Appeals Committee reviews all appeals.
Appeals requires a Student Education Plan (SEP) signed
by an academic counselor and an explanation of why the
minimum requirements were not met. You can view the
SAP policy on our website
