Financial Aid

Satisfactory Academic Progress

Returning students must maintain satisfactory academic progress to receive money from University need-based, Federal, and state aid programs. This includes maintaining a minimum cumulative grade point average and earning credits at a designated rate during each year of enrollment.  The tables below depict the earned credits and minimum cumulative GPAs at the completion of each academic semester necessary to maintain satisfactory academic progress.  For more information about UMF's satisfactory academic process requirements for financial aid consideration, please contact our office at (207) 778-7100.
