    Summer Financial Aid

    Students interested in taking summer semester classes may be eligible to receive federal and state financial aid, including grants and loans. Summer semester begins the financial aid year at Ohio University. If you have been offered financial aid, check your OHIO Student Center to see if your aid is already being applied toward summer semester.

    If your financial aid does not include summer, you can email financial.aid@ohio.edu to request your aid be applied over summer, fall, and spring semesters, if applicable.

    Satisfactory Academic Progress

    Ohio University is required to monitor the academic progress of all students to ensure financial aid recipients are maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). A student's cumulative grade point average, successful course completion percentage, and progression toward degree completion are reviewed annually after spring semester grades are available. Students must be found to be meeting SAP requirements in order to continue receiving financial aid for all future academic years. The financial aid academic year begins with the summer semester each year. Please visit the link below to review the Ohio University SAP Policy.
