To continue enrollment at Columbia College and to receive federal student financial aid, a student must make satisfactory academic progress. Both grades earned (GPA) and hours attempted and completed are considered. Each session that a student attends Columbia College, the Financial Aid Office will review the student’s academic progress.
Not meeting these standards will result in Financial Aid Probation for the next semester. This means that the student would continue to receive financial aid for the semester he/she is on probation. Failure to meet the required standards in the subsequent academic term will result in financial aid suspension. Anyone placed on financial aid suspension is no longer eligible to receive financial aid. See the financial aid office for more details.
