Failure to meet the timelines specified for undergraduate and graduate (including the DNP) programs results in dismissal from the College and the loss of Title IV eligibility. Failure to meet the minimum grade point averages as required by Goldfarb School of Nursing will result in financial aid warning. During the warning period, the student may receive financial aid funds. Failure to meet the minimum grade point average requirement by the end of the second term will result in ineligibility for financial aid. Students may appeal the decision to terminate financial assistance. Appeals must be submitted in writing to the Director of Enrollment Management.
