The Financial Aid Office assumes that students transferring to the university are maintaining reasonable academic progress. All hours transferred from prior or concurrent attendance at other schools will be considered in establishing the class standing for financial aid and are integral in determining the overall time frame allowed for financial aid eligibility. GPA’s from other colleges/universities will not factor into the cumulative GPA at Oakwood University. This method will also be applied to former Oakwood students if there is a change of major when they are readmitted.
Credits taken at other institutions under a consortium agreement will be considered transfer credits in the Satisfactory Academic Progress calculation. Remedial courses are allowed and will be funded up to 30 hours. This includes classes in English as a Second Language. These courses are subject to review under all aspects of the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy.
