FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY

Approval of a request to resume studies through the Registrar's Office neither implies nor guarantees the receipt of financial aid or the ability to enroll. Non-degree students, including certificate-only programs, ARE NOT eligible for state and federal financial aid.

A student's previous academic and financial history can affect the ability to receive financial aid. Any current or prior unpaid or delinquent account balances will hinder a student's ability to re-enroll. It is highly recommended that all students who wish to resume their studies contact the Financial Aid Office prior to submitting this application to review financial aid eligibility. (Ulmer Hall 224; 570-484-2424)

Note: Students who are returning from a period of suspension may require financial counseling. Please check email and US postal service mail for important information. For financial aid questions, phone Financial Aid at 570-484-2424 (Ulmer Hall 224).

STUDENT ACCOUNTS/BILLING HOLDS

Unmet financial obligations prevent registration. If you have a hold on your account, you will not be able to register. Please contact the Student Accounts Office with any questions. They are located in Ulmer Hall 224 and can be reached at 570-484-2425 or stuaccts@lockhaven.edu.

IMPORTANT ACADEMIC POLICIES

Students must be aware of academic policies in place at the time of return. This includes, but is not limited to:

** Academic requirements for the major and general education;
** Graduation residency requirements;
** Repeat policies; and,
** Warning/Probation/Suspension/Dismissal.

Students returning after a period of probation, suspension, or academic dismissal (under academic amnesty) will return on probation.

Students returning after a period of academic dismissal must provide proof of productive activities during the absence. This may include, but is not limited to, taking college courses. An explanation of the student's productive activities must be attached to this request; the Registrar's Office will review the explanation to determine appropriateness.

For those who took college classes, an unofficial transcript must be submitted (as an attachment) with the request. Simply taking college classes is not automatic approval to return. In addition, if approved to return, an official transcript must be sent to the Registrar's Office for credit evaluation.
