COVID-19 Vaccination Requirement Noncompliant Financial Aid Impact
Students who are administratively withdrawn from their classes for the fall semester for not complying with the university’s COVID-19 vaccination requirement will be ineligible for any type of financial aid, including scholarships, grants, fellowships, loans, remission, work study, etc. Noncompliant students will NOT have financial aid applied to their student account and will not receive a financial aid refund to help them cover living expenses.

Students who are enrolled in degree and select certificate programs and take a minimum number of credit hours each semester can be eligible for both merit and need-based scholarships.
