Academic Qualifications
In order to be considered for financial aid, a student must be accepted for enrollment, or be enrolled and making satisfactory academic progress. In general, Marlboro College defines "satisfactory academic progress" as being continued and making progress toward graduation. A student may be judged as not making satisfactory progress toward graduation if, as a junior, he or she has not yet embarked on a Plan of Concentration, despite having enough credits to do so. Students should refer to the Standards of Progress and Academic Standing sections of the Handbook for more specific information.
Students should not expect aid beyond their normally projected graduation date. Dismissed students may be considered for financial aid once they are readmitted. Readmittance is granted on an individual basis. Students seeking reinstatement must apply in writing to the Dean of Faculty.
