Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards ensure that you are successfully completing your coursework and can continue to receive financial aid. All students receiving financial aid are required to meet SAP standards.

Federal regulations require the University to establish, publish, and apply standards to monitor your progress toward completing your degree program. If you fail to meet the SAP standards, you will be placed on financial aid warning or suspension.

When you withdraw from the school or a class, there is a possibility of there being a balance owed to the school. If this happens you will be sent a notification and a payment plan to cover the balance.

If you wish to return to Herzing after withdrawing, your financial aid advisor will work out the options for covering the balance with you.

If you need to leave school (withdraw) because life happens, we understand that. If this happens to you, we will perform what is called a Federal Return to Title IV Calculation. This calculation takes the number of days you have sat in courses and adjusts your tuition and aid according to the Federal and State rules we are required to follow.

Sometimes it may leave a balance on a student's account. If this happens, we will work with you on a financial plan.

If you need to take a break from the University, tuition and fee adjustments happen in a similar way to withdrawing from the school. One big difference is that you will come back on a date that is pre-determined with your Student Services Advisor.

If the break happens at the end of the semester, there is no proration of tuition and fees. However, if you need to take the break after the semester starts, we will take the number of days you have attended the classes and apply the tuition and fees based on the number of days, not the whole semester.

Yes, anytime you have to retake a course you will be responsible for paying for the retake as well as the original course. Your financial aid package will be adjusted once your schedule has been updated.

When you fail a class, your student services advisor will reschedule that course for you. Once this schedule change is completed, your financial aid advisor will review the changes and make any necessary adjustments to your financial aid package. The student is responsible for paying for the failed class as well as the retake.

Rescheduling the course may result in a tuition change and lengthening your time before graduation.

Adding or removing classes from your schedule can change your tuition cost.

If you add a course to your schedule, your tuition for that semester will go up based on the individual cost per credit.

If you drop a course before you start attending it, the tuition cost will adjust down based on the individual cost per credit. If you drop a course after you start attending, the full cost of the course will remain on your account.

If a student is using military benefits and has excess generated due to Pell Grant or additional loan funding, that stipend will be released once a credit appears on the account. Normally this is created once VA funding has been received.

With VRRAP funds, Herzing is paid 50% at the beginning of the program, 25% at graduation and 25% once employment is secured. The stipend will be released within 14 days of the federal funding being paid to the school. This is the only case where a stipend is released to the student without there being a credit on the account due to the nature of how VRRAP funding pays to the school.

If you have requested a paper check for your stipend and have not received it, please email the Student Accounts department at studentaccounts@herzing.edu.

They will check the bank to make sure the check has not been cashed and then request you to complete a Check Re-Issue form through your portal.

Let your financial aid advisor know if you wish to have your stipend deposited directly into your personal bank account. They will set up the system to notify BankMobile. Please verify your address and phone number with your financial aid advisor so the information can get sent to the proper location.

Once BankMobile is notified, they will send you an email and a letter with instructions on how to set up the direct deposit. If Herzing sends the funds to BankMobile before you set up your account, you will be notified via email and text that you need to set up your account.
