The following rules apply to all financial aid recipients: Aid is limited to eight consecutive semesters from the date of enrollment, except for approved 5 year programs of study (such as Arts/Engineering) or by special permission of the Committee on Undergraduate Financial Aid. Students must continue to demonstrate financial need as determined by the Office of Financial Aid in conjunction with federal, state and university guidelines. Students must make progress toward their degree by enrolling and passing no fewer than 12 new credits per semester and 24 credits per academic year and be in good standing, maintain a minimum grade point average of 2.0 each semester. Students not meeting these minimums may appeal to the Committee on Undergraduate Financial Aid. The Petition for Review of Financial Aid Eligibility can be found online at www.lehigh.edu/financialaid. Students must be enrolled in no fewer than 12 credit hours per semester. Students are expected to apply to their state grant program and any private scholarships for which they might be eligible. Students are required to notify us directly and immediately upon receiving any private scholarships, including funds from any employer. Notification of financial aid eligibility will be mailed prior to the Bursar's billing date if your application is complete. Late filers are at risk of not being aided.
