EligibilityComplete Verification Must be in a degree seeking program Show academic progress Aid Application Verification
Q: I thought I already turned everything in for verification. Why are you telling me I need to send more information? A: Verification is an ongoing process. For many students it goes no further than turning in the tax returns and the Verification Worksheet. But sometimes we uncover inconsistencies which we need to resolve and document for your file. It’s a good idea to check back with us after submitting your taxes and Verification Worksheet to see if you will need to turn in anything else. We typically send requests for additional information out through the mail. Degree Programs
Examples of degree-seeking programs include: Associate, Bachelor, Masters, Specialist and Doctorate degrees, as well as Teacher's Certification. Federal Financial Aid Information for Graduate Students Provisional or Special Student Admission Status To be eligible for federal financial aid, you must be admitted in a degree-seeking program. If you have been admitted under “provisional” or “special student” status, you will not be eligible for federal financial aid funds. Enrollment Status If you intend to enroll in undergraduate or mixed level courses, it could affect your eligibility for federal financial aid. As a graduate student, you must be enrolled and attend at least six graduate level credit hours each semester to be eligible for federal loans. Students in the licensure alternative master’s program or career and technical education program who are enrolled less than six graduate level credit hours, but are enrolled at least six credit hours total, may be eligible for a federal loan at the undergraduate level. Additional Funding Graduate students may find it necessary to borrow additional loan funds beyond their Stafford Loans. As a result of a change in federal regulations, graduate students now also have an opportunity to borrow Grad PLUS Loans. Graduate students may borrow up to the total estimated cost of attendance less any other financial aid/resources received.
Alternative Loans Graduate students not eligible for federal financial aid may find it necessary to borrow loan funds through alternative loan sources. For information about alternative loans, please visit our website at www.financialaid.utoledo.edu/student_loan_process.html. If you have questions regarding financial aid, please contact the Office of Student Financial Aid at 419.530.8700. For more information, contact the Graduate College. Transient StudentsStudents who are pursuing degrees from another
institution but are studying at UT for just a term or two cannot be
considered degree-seeking students through our office. In this case
such students' best bet for receiving aid would be to contact the aid office
at their "home" school, or the school they plan on
transferring back to once they are finished at UT. Academic ProgressThe Office of Student Financial Aid wants to see you earn your degree as quickly as possible. But not everybody’s academic career follows a smooth path to graduation. What follows is a list of the minimum academic standards which must be met in order to continue receiving financial aid. Should you find that you aren’t meeting these standards, you will always have the option of appealing to regain your eligibility. Continuing students must meet and maintain the following three objectives to maintain financial aid eligibility. Objective OneStudents must meet the following grade point average based on hours attempted:
Objective TwoEvery student must successfully complete a minimum of 67% of the hours attempted at the University. Summer credits will be added to the previous academic year's work.The total number of hours attempted will be determined as of the fifteenth day of class each semester. A credit course is successfully completed when a student earns a grade of A, B, C, D, F or PS. Grades of I, IN, NC, W, IW and PR indicate attempted courses not successfully completed. Students taking developmental courses only or a combination of developmental courses and regular courses must successfully complete 67% of the total class schedule. Only grades of PS are acceptable for developmental courses. A student may take no more than 30 hours of developmental courses and must successfully complete these courses within one year (12 months). Objective ThreeUndergraduate students are limited to the following number of attempted hours including credits transferred into the University to complete their degree:
