Reinstatement of Aid after Financial Aid<br />

denied status<br />

Reinstatement of financial aid after a student is placed<br />

on Financial Aid Denied status is achieved in one of the<br />

following ways:<br />

G The student submits a written letter of appeal in<br />

accordance with the appeal process, and the Financial<br />

Aid Appeals Committee grants the appeal. The student is<br />

placed on Financial Aid Probation for the term rather than<br />

on Financial Aid Denied status.<br />

G The student attends <strong>UMUC</strong> <strong>Europe</strong>, pays for tuition and<br />

fees without the help of student financial aid, and does<br />

well enough in the coursework to meet the Satisfactory<br />

Academic Progress standards. The student regains financial<br />

aid eligibility and is placed on Financial Aid Probation<br />

status. Students who are on Financial Aid Denied status<br />

for failure to meet the 150 percent requirement are not<br />

able to regain eligibility in this manner. They may only<br />

regain financial aid eligibility on a term-by-term basis<br />

through the appeal process.<br />

Appeal Process<br />

The student must submit an appeal of Financial Aid Denied<br />

status in writing to the associate director, Financial Aid,<br />

<strong>UMUC</strong> <strong>Europe</strong> Financial Aid Office. Appeals should contain<br />

an explanation of what contributed to the Financial Aid<br />

Denied status and should address how satisfactory academic<br />

progress will be maintained in the future. The Financial Aid<br />

Appeals Committee will review the appeal and notify the<br />

student in writing of its decision within 14 working days after<br />

the Appeals Committee meets and makes its determination.<br />

All decisions made by the Financial Aid Appeals Committee<br />

are final.<br />

Federal Return of Funds Policy<br />

Students are responsible for following the university’s<br />

withdrawal procedures as outlined in this Catalog. The 1998<br />

Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act requires the<br />

university to calculate a return of Title IV funds (loans and<br />

grants) on all federal financial aid students who withdraw<br />

(officially or unofficially) from all classes for the term on or<br />

before the 60 percent attendance point in the term.<br />

If students withdraw from classes, they may not receive<br />

further financial aid disbursements, may lose some or all<br />

of the aid already disbursed to their account, and may be<br />

personally responsible for payment of any charges for tuition<br />

and fees due. Students must notify the Financial Aid Office<br />

when they will not complete courses for which financial aid<br />

was received. For a complete description of the Federal Return<br />

of Funds Policy, please refer to the <strong>UMUC</strong> <strong>Europe</strong> Web site.<br />
