Financial Aid Policies

Students who receive financial aid and withdraw during the term should be aware of the repercussions on current and future financial aid. Learn more about Returning Title IV funds.

Federal regulations require all students receiving financial aid to meet Satisfactory Academic Progress in order to maintain eligibility for financial aid. The Financial Aid and Scholarship Services office will review all financial aid recipients three times a year (end of Fall term, end of Spring term, and end of Summer term). The review will measure both qualitative (GPA) and quantitative (completion rate) standards.

Your federal, state, or institutional aid has been awarded or adjusted as indicated on your award summary. You must agree to these Terms and Conditions , including any program-specific conditions linked to your awards.

New Mexico State University adheres to verification principles developed by NASFAA to ensure Financial Aid funds are awarded to eligible students equitably. Learn more about NMSU-A’s Verification Policy.
