Bethany College understands that the financial aid process can be challenging. Below are some of our policies, forms, and resources that may assist you.

Policies

Satisfactory Academic Progress

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) is required for a student to remain eligible for financial aid. At the end of each academic semester, the Financial Aid Office will verify the academic progress of each student.

Return to Title IV

When a student withdraws from all coursework during the semester and received any federal financial aid, the Department of Education requires that Bethany College to review the student’s eligibility for those funds. This Return to Title IV calculation is based upon the concept that a student earns financial aid in proportion to the amount of time in which they are enrolled.

Professional Judgement

Once a student enrolls at Bethany College, the college is restricted from having conversations regarding student educational record.
