Student Financial Aid<br />

Financial Aid Available From the Office of Student Financial Aid<br />

Financial aid consists of scholarships or assistantships, student loans and part-time employment, and can help meet the costs of a graduate<br />

or professional program.<br />

Scholarships and assistantships are awarded by each school or program (dental, law, health sciences or graduate). Questions concerning<br />

scholarships and assistantships should be directed to the admissions or dean’s office of the school or program in which you plan to enroll.<br />

Application Procedures<br />

Students may apply for financial aid if they are currently enrolled or are applying for admission to <strong>Marquette</strong> <strong>University</strong>. Be advised that no<br />

offer of financial assistance will be made until the student is formally admitted to the university. All students applying for financial aid must<br />

complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is available online at fafsa.gov (http://www.fafsa.gov) beginning<br />

on January 1 for the upcoming academic year.<br />

During the application process, students may be asked to verify the information reported on the FAFSA. Any aid offer will be contingent upon<br />

completion of the verification process.<br />

Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy<br />

By federal regulation, <strong>Marquette</strong> <strong>University</strong> is required to apply both qualitative and quantitative standards in measuring academic progress<br />

for financial aid purposes. These standards apply to all students who receive institutional, state and federal Title IV and Title VII funds<br />

administered by the university. Federal Title IV programs for graduate students include William D. Ford Federal Direct Stafford and PLUS<br />

Loans, Federal Perkins Loans and Federal Work Study. Title VII programs include the Federal Nursing Loans.<br />

<strong>Marquette</strong> has established the following criteria for graduate students in conjunction with federal regulation published on Oct. 6, 1993,<br />

Federal Register Part 668.16 and the Higher Education Amendments of 1986.<br />

I. Qualitative Standards of Academic Progress<br />

Financial aid recipients are governed by the performance standards of the school or college in which they are enrolled.<br />

II. Quantitative Standards of Academic Progress<br />

Students must complete their academic programs and receive their degrees within a maximum time frame. For graduate students, 6 years<br />

is the maximum amount of time a student may attempt toward degree completion. In addition, graduate students must earn 75% of their<br />

cumulative credits attempted.<br />

Note: Grades of I, U, UW, W and WA, unreported grades, grades of F or audit credits are not counted as earned credits.<br />

III. Failure to Meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress Standards (Quantitative)<br />

1. First Occurrence<br />

Students who do not meet the standard will be put in a warning status. The student will be notified of this status in writing.
