The Higher Education Amendments of 1986, the State Student Assistance Commission of Indiana, and Ball State require that if you receive federal, state, and some types of institutional financial aid, that you must make satisfactory academic progress.
In general, satisfactory academic progress is defined as proceeding toward successful completion of degree requirements and maintaining good standing at the university.

If you receive aid from any of these programs, you must maintain satisfactory academic progress as outlined below or you will face financial aid probation and/or eventual denial of aid from these sources.

No financial assistance, including Stafford Loans and PLUS Loans, will be reinstated for prior terms in which the student was not in compliance with this policy.
