Standards of Academic Progress

All University of Miami graduate students must maintain at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA to receive financial assistance. Failure to do so can result in the cancellation of aid awarded.

Yearly Review (Graduate Students)

  • At the end of each spring semester, the Office of Financial Assistance Services reviews the academic progress of all University of Miami financial aid recipients.
  • The academic records from both the fall and spring semesters are considered. If at that time it is determined that a student is not meeting the university standards of academic progress for renewal of regular financial assistance and academic scholarships, a written notification is sent to the student.
  • Students granted a one-semester conditional appeal for scholarship and/or regular financial assistance by the Standards of Academic Progress Appeal Committee will be reviewed at the end of that semester.

Semester Review (Graduate Students)

Students who have been granted a one-semester conditional appeal for scholarship and/or regular financial assistance by the Standards of Academic Progress Appeal Committee will be reviewed at the end of that semester. If the conditions have not been met, all eligibility regarding their financial assistance for future semesters will be revoked. For more information on the Appeals process, see our How to Appeal for Reinstatement of Aid information.
