For specific information regarding student financial aid, please visit the Financial Aid information page on Student Web Services. The Financial Aid Bulletin contains important information including:
- Types of financial aid assistance available to students
- Student eligibility requirements and applying for Financial Aid

- Withdrawal from courses and Return to Title IV (R2T4)
- Satisfactory Academic Progress

Please visit the college Financial Aid Office website for more information
ATTENTION: Students pursuing the Bachelor's degree in Health Information Management at San Diego Mesa College have different SAP standards than those pursuing an Associate degree or certificate. Please consult the Financial Aid Bulletin for more information
Federal regulations require that colleges set standards that you must meet in order to be eligible for financial aid and to keep it from one academic year to the next. Even if you have never applied for or received financial aid, your overall history in college will be reviewed before you are awarded financial aid to make sure you are meeting these standards. To be eligible for aid, you must comply with all standards regarding maximum timeframe, completion rate and cumulative GPA.
For more information, please refer to the Satisfactory Academic Section in the Financial Aid Bulletin
- Declaration of Major
- Developing an Education Plan
- Students Transferring from Another College
- Maximum Time Frame
- Determination of Academic Progress Completion Rate
- Cumulative Good Standing
- Disqualification
- Appeals
- Reinstatement from Second Disqualification
Applicability of These Standards
These standards apply to the Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG), Federal Work Study (FWS), and Federal Direct Loan Program, Cal Grant programs and any other Federal or State programs that may be required to follow these standards. They are effective beginning with the Summer 2011 semester and will be used at the end of each Spring semester for eligibility determination for the following school year. These standards supersede all previous standards. The "Policy for Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid Recipients" was approved by the San Diego Community College District Student Services Council on May 2016.
Federal law requires that if you received a federal grant and then drop or withdraw from ALL of your classes prior to the 60% point of the semester or if you fail to begin a late start class you may have to repay funds. Note: The earlier that you drop or withdraw, the more money you may have to pay back.
- If you receive Loan money and withdraw, you will pay back the money according to the Federal guidelines of the loan program.
- If you receive Federal Work Study money and withdraw, you do not owe anything back. You will get to keep any salary you have earned.
- If you are enrolled in short term classes without being enrolled in full semester classes and/or you withdraw or fail to attend those classes, you may be subject to the Return of Title IV calculation.
Currently, students do not have to repay the institutional portion of the federal refund. However, in the future, students may be required to repay the institutional refund and if not paid, a hold will be placed on their records.
College Information on Return of Financial Aid (Title IV)
For schools having 30 or more borrowers entering repayment in a fiscal year, the school’s cohort default rate (CDR) is the percentage of a school’s borrowers who enter repayment on certain Federal Family Education Loans (FFELs) and/or William D. Ford Federal Direct Loans (Direct Loans) during that fiscal year and default within the cohort default period.
The phrase “cohort default period” refers to the three-year period that begins on October 1 of the fiscal year when the borrower enters repayment and ends on September 30th of the second fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the borrower entered repayment. This is the period during which a borrower’s default affects the school’s cohort default rate.
Cohort default rates are based on federal fiscal years. Federal fiscal years begin October 1 of a calendar year and end on September 30th of the following calendar year. Each federal fiscal year refers to the calendar year in which it ends.

Loan Reporting
All federal student loans obtained by a student or parent are reported to and tracked on the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). NSLDS loan records are accessible to all authorized NSLDS users, including schools, student loan guaranty agencies, lenders, federal agencies, and other authorized users.
Alternative and private education loan information is not reported to NSLDS.
Accessing NSLDS
Student and parent loan borrowers may view their federal loan information at NSLDS. Borrowers access the system using their federal PIN. Students can also access prior federal grant information at NSLDS.
Verification is the process by which the Financial Aid Office compares the information on the financial aid application with the documents provided by the student to verify the accuracy of the application information. These policies are to be used in conjunction with the Department of Education and the California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) verification guidelines.
Please visit your college website to find out about their verification process:
