Non-Renewal or Reduction of Student-Athlete

Policy Statement:

The decision to reduce or not renew a student-athlete grant-in-aid (GIA) should include the following consideration:

Coaches must have appropriate written documentation to support their decision for reduction or cancellation of student-athlete’s GIA. Coaches will discuss with the Director of Athletics their decision to reduce or cancel a student-athlete’s GIA, and the reason (s) for the decision, prior to going forward with that decision.
If a student-athlete has been dismissed from a team, the coach still has the responsibility to follow the procedure described above. This discussion occurs in conjunction with the dismissal from the team and the GIA Cancellation Form must be filled out by the Coach, Director of Athletics and the Student-Athlete and sent to the Financial Aid Office.
When the Financial Aid Office is notified with a signed form of reduction or cancellation of a student-athlete’s GIA, a notice will be emailed to the student-athlete.
When a student has a student-athlete grant-in-aid non-renewal or reduced, the student is eligible to appeal the decision with a hearing. The student must make an appeal to the Director of Athletics within five business days.
