  1. ​Meet deadlines: Pay special attention to various deadlines for federal, state and university aid or risk being ineligible for certain types of aid. See important dates and deadlines.

  2. Meet merit requirements: Some scholarships require a specific cumulative GPA or standardized test score. Read about eligibility requirements for merit scholarships.​​

  3. Watch your hours of enrollment: Financial aid awards are based on the assumption students will enroll full time during each term. Dropping below full time may have an impact on your aid.

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)

Student Financial Aid is required by federal and state regulations to monitor the academic progress of all financial aid recipients.

Drop / Withdrawal

​Dropping courses can have a severe impact on your financial aid eligibility.

Consortium Agreements

Under certain circumstances a consortium agreement may allow some student to attend classes at another college or university using various types of aid awarded by The Ohio State University.
